Newsom Posts Hilarious Self-Own That Isn’t the Flex He Thinks It Is – RedState
California Governor Gavin Newsom is showing every sign of wanting to run for president in 2028.
Of course, the problem for him is: why would anyone want to vote for him for president when he has been such a failure in his current position?
He failed on many issues, including the Palisades fire and homelessness. It even failed when it came to a bill dealing with menopause, as Oscar winner Halle Berry explained when she criticized it at the New York Times DealBook Summit. Newsom vetoed the bill, and Berry said it demeaned women. What made her remarks even better was that she made it shortly before he spoke at the same summit, which is why he could have ended up in that extreme, cross-legged, “testicle-crushing” sitting position. It went viral and everyone made fun of it.

Since then, Newsom has been trying to dig himself out of the hole.
First, regarding Berry. He said on Thursday that she “just didn’t know” that he was actually planning to do anything about the menopause bill. He said he was going to include it in next year’s budget and feared higher costs. That’s one way to play cleanup after the fact, buddy. He no doubt realized that she had exposed his failures to a vital group of people he would desperately need for any future run: women.
Then he tried to deal with the mockery over his “testicle crushing” stance. But I think it’s safe to say that he created a whole new problem with this effort. I suspect many memes will arise from this.

Oh my goodness, I don’t think it’s quite the flexibility he thinks it is. If it’s showing the assets he has to be president, it doesn’t mean much.
Now you know, between his account and that of the press office, the shots are worth gold. And they wonder why they are losing men. I don’t think they understand social media and what people will do with the post.
Rasmussen’s Mark Mitchell couldn’t believe they posted it.
They… Did you post this? https://t.co/7Jb4mYwmdF

Newsom is apparently trying to wrest the strange crown from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
This feels like a Howard Dean moment. That’s when the Dean Scream of January 2004 revealed how weird he was in the eyes of most normal people, which ended his presidency completely.
