It’s become increasingly apparent that Democrat politicians can’t hear themselves when they speak. It’s the only explanation other than lumping them all into the category of opportunistic hypocrites. Gavin Newsom, who has been known for his peculiar hand gestures lately, appeared on Meet the Press, where he received gentle handling by Kristin Welker. Posing once again as a defender of democracy, he accused the president of “rigging” next year’s congressional election. “He’s changing the rules. He’s rigging the game because he knows he’ll lose if all things are equal,” said Newsome, ignoring the democrats' long history of gerrymandering, resulting in lopsided majorities in states like New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and California, where the proportions of Democrat versus republican legislators far exceed the proportion of registered voters for each party. But then Newsome really went tone deaf: “He did not expect California to fight fire with fire.” Ouch. Now, in a state stricken by wildfires, including the most recent disaster that torched the Pacific Palisades, a community unable to rebuild due to California’s torturous permitting regulations, wouldn’t you think the Governor would have chosen a different analogy? Perhaps something without fire in it? They are simply tone deaf
