"This is AI slop. It is impossible that Newsom actually said this," social scientist Charles Murray posted in response to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's latest ham-fisted attempt at connecting with voters outside his state. "Right?" Murray added, and you could practically hear him begging for it not to be true.
"Holy God in heaven please tell me that my black brothers in Christ can look at the world's stupidest white man and understand that he is a bad person," my old X acquaintance Political Math added.
My Townhall colleague Amy Curtis noted, "It's just like when Joe Biden said, 'Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.'"

Kind of overdoing the relatability, Gav...
Won't this make a great campaign ad for 2028?

This is what today's Democrats think about the African-American community.
They've been doing it for decades and getting away with it when a Republican would be crucified.
Think about it, all of those who suddenly have a "southern" drawl when they talk to certain crowds, suddenly use the "Ya'll" when they're NOT from the South where it's common.
But to talk like you're low SAT score helps you identify with African-Americans, then slow your speech as if you need to talk slowly to them for them to understand, really?
And it's not by accident, not some low-level staffer who did, or didn't do, something either.
Where else can you become Governor and not be able to ready, by his own admission?

Can't read a speech??? I'm wondering what grade-school level he reads, or if he is able to read at all.
Most interesting comment he made in this appearance is that he has spent a large part of his life pretending to be something he is not. Sounds much like a Democrat. How many of these folks have made up or enhanced their resume pretending to be something they are not? How many lied about military service?
Little wonder we have such a screwed up Congress....and it doesn't end with Congress either. Almost the entirety of government is composed of people who got there knowing "somebody" and not knowing the job. Some can't tell you what a Woman is either.

"I'm no better than you, you know."
No, Newscum, they know you're better than them. You're white, of course you're better.
This is what racist say when they're lying about how they really feel about people they consider beneath them.
A lot of black people were impacted by bidets you ain't black comment, and this, coming from ole limp wrist Gavin, will have an impact too.

I'm okay with Nicki Minaj, et al criticizing Newsom, but they really should be critical of black American voters who continue to vote for Democratic politicians like Hillary Clinton whipping out her bottle of hot sauce back on the campaign trail in 2016.

I rhink he's probably referring to his dyslexia,
Gav is not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Dyslexia is a learning disability that disrupts how your brain processes written language. It’s lifelong but manageable with the right support. Early diagnosis, specialized teaching and assistive tools can help children and adults improve skills and build confidence.

I always thought Gav's support from blacks would be tepid on the national stage. He gives off some Booty-Judge vibes (who polls at Zero with black voters). This will not help, especially if Kamalala plays her black card again.

A read of the aricle reveals that his audience apparently did not take offense. He provided context for his remark.
I would think that lifelong dyslexia would be a terrible handicap. Apparently blacks do have serious nproblems with it as they are often not diagnosedas children so miss out on treatment that should begin in childhood.

I was a resident of San Franciso when Newsom was appointed to the Board of Supervisors. Still there when he ran and won for that position, when he ran and won twice for mayor, still there when he ran and won for Lieutenant Governor and when he ran and won for governor. Not once did I ever hear that he was dyslexic. I think his dyslexia is as real as Biden’s stutter.

# 6 - I'm from the deep south, I worked ten years at a City job. We were basically half white and half black. I learned a lot from them about why they voted in a block like they do. They are afraid of what would happen to them if they didn't. And one friend said she'd gone to church Sunday and since there were no white people there, the pastor talked about how bad we are. But she was friendly and no one ever had a problem with racial differences.. These people are on the democrat plantation, or they were back then, the ;80's. Now, not so much.

Re #8. A nephew has dyslexia, but I have tutored him in Chemistry, Math and Physics, both in HS and college courses.
He wound up being a computer and comms tech in the USMC, and now is a technical instructor for a new anti-drone system that is being fielded by the USMC. He's been able to work through his dyslexia, and is a capable, technically saavy young man. he loves teaching, which makes me proud, since I did a lot of time teaching him.

The thing is, there are now enough Blacks that are fed up with dems to call out people like Nuisance when they pander badly. When the time is right, those people will be given a platform to speak that truth.
Too many Blacks are still unhealthily enamoured with the dem party because their leaders benefited from those connections and poorly lead their constituents in a bad direction. They were pandered to but never truly given the guidance that lets people succeed in American society. They were told they needed government help instead of personal responsibility and the individual work to accomplish things.
It was desperately audacious or monumentally stupid for the CalGov to say this. He effectively labeled everyone in the room with a disability of some type that prevents them from full functionality. The disability of being Black? After being conditioned by dems for many decades, I think that many Blacks think that is somewhat true. How else could Blacks, many generations past the end of slavery and a couple of generations after the Civil rights act passed, think they are due reparations for things that never happened to THEM. The only link is that they are Black.
The reality is, many people propel themselves out of a poor start in life within their own lifetime. Consider VP Vance. The tools to do this are available to everyone in the US. Many Blacks apply themselves, do well, get scholarships, graduate with distinction, and become very successful. If they are not "disabled" by being Black, why is anyone? I don't deny lingering prejudice and some levels of obstacles remain against Blacks; just that they are not insurmountable and not pandemic. I also assert that the type of "help" that the Gov and his party "give" are more like golden handcuffs; pretty but ultimately binding Blacks to false promises and dead end "solutions". If anyone is expecting government to solve your personal problems, you are knocking on the wrong doors.

Now we know why he sounds so stupid - he is stupid. I got several hundred points higher on the SATs as a junior in high school before the SATs were dumbed down.

Buck Sexton said today that Gov. Hairgel's 960 SAT score puts him in the 34th percentile nationwide. That's pathetic. (No one in my high school class (72 guys) scored below 1200 on his SAT. Most of the class was above 1400. The State of Tennessee had 120 National Merit finalists in 1972. Twenty-eight of them were in my class!) Hairgel probably COULD have been accepted into my high school as things stood in 1969 when I got there--probably couldn't anymore--because someone from his family or support group would have cut a big check to the school before Gav inevitably flunked out after the first six weeks. I had a classmate who didn't make it to Thanksgiving in '69. He couldn't hack it because he was a dull boy. Apparently, neither can Newscum pull his weight intellectually. He's a dullard like most Donks. Looking good is good enough. (Why is his voice always so hoarse? Arthur Janov's primal scream therapy? Does he think that's sexy? Sexy enough to boink his best friend's wife?)

One of the first actions of the "Biden" administration was removing the requirement that college students receiving a scholarship designed to increase the number of minority teachers maintain a passing GPA -- to "remove barriers" to minority participation. The insulting assumptions behind that move were obvious.

If it's hard work for Gavin to read he probably doesn't, which removes over half of his self-education potential. A truly stupid person does not know that he's stupid. Having Sparkle Beach Ken and Dumb Blonde Barbie in the White House would be worse than the Obamas.

I’m rarely shocked by anything a politician says but this one is a doozy. This is the most offensive, condescending remark I’ve ever heard. Are there actually Black people who would still vote for this racist snob? This one will follow him until the end of his career (which may be coming soon).

Newsom finally admits it! Liberalism is a mental disorder. He just blames it on dyslexia. His liberal audience is also too dumb to understand that they too, area also mentally disabled by their liberalism.

Democrats pandering to Blacks has been going on since as far as I can remember. Growing up in 70s-80s rural Southern West Virginia I saw this firsthand. It was when my senator Robert C Byrd former Grand Keagle of the Klu Klux Klan was at an assembly my dad took me and my older brother to. He was up on stage larger than life. What struck me as odd was how he seemed to pander to the crowd of mostly Black people. Also, the way he seemed to pat the younger Black kids on stage on their heads like they were pets. Even at 10 years old I thought that too was strange behavior. After we left in the car my dad told we that old racist isn't fooling me and don't let him fool you. That's why Byrd lasted that long and dies in office 16 years ago in his 90s. Same with how democrats like Carter, both Clintons, Gore, Obama and not too long ago Biden. Who straight up told that dummy Charlamagne the Fraud if he didn't vote for him, he wasn't Black. The pandering didn't work on me as I haven't voted for democrat sleazebags like Gavin Newsom aka The Breck Girl 2.0 since I voted for GHWB. My older brother not so much as he's a big Obama loving lib. I still love him though.

I believe his mental problem is that he is an egotistical narcissist who will say anything to get elected. Cali. Is a prime example of what you get if you believe all the Democrat lies.

Hairgel's alleged dyslexia is about as believeble as FJB's stuttering. Gavin's just stupid, a stupex, not too bright. Slowing down his diction, "I'm ... just ... like ... you," sezee. What a crock. Dyslexia is not his problem; lack of native intelligence is. He doesn't know much. Did you see how badly Gov. DeSantis defeated Newscum in their debate last year? It was a total wipeout. DeSantis, with a fifty point IQ advantage, won in a shutout. Same as the corpse rotting on Rehoboth Beach, the Getty-financed Golden State governor with the hoarse voice is a dull boy who just doesn't have a sufficiently strong thinking unit to belong where he is. Other people control him. He has a two digit IQ. Many Democrats must be that way.
