It’s one thing when advocates of some pandemic medical measures argue that the picture was incomplete at the time, but another one when politicians implementing blatantly discriminatory regimes act that way.
Gov. Newsom, who nearly lost his job and promised pathway to the presidency, is trying to rewrite his record ahead of a potential debate with Gov. DeSantis, by playing innocent. It was the ‘science’, you see.
It kept changing on us.
Gov. Gavin Newsom said criticism of California’s tough Covid-19 restrictions was valid and he would have taken an entirely different approach, given what he knows now about the pandemic.
“I think we would’ve done everything differently,” Newsom said in a taped interview set to air on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday.
“I think all of us in terms of our collective wisdom, we’ve evolved. We didn’t know what we didn’t know. We’re experts in hindsight. We’re all geniuses now.”
Please. We didn’t know that outdoor park benches and skate parks were safer than Hollywood sets?
We didn’t know that Amazon warehouses were not safer than small businesses?
Newsom didn’t know that dining at the French Laundry with his cronies while everyone else was warned that they would die if they left their houses might come off badly?
What Newsom won’t do is admit to specific faults and there’s a lot of collective blame. “We” all made mistakes.
Host Chuck Todd pressed the California Democrat on specifics, including whether Newsom and state officials were too accommodating to the film industry during periods of strict distancing requirements where Californians were prevented, for example, from gathering for family funerals. “I think there’s a lot of humility. And we didn’t know what we didn’t know. And it was hardly I; it was we, collectively,” Newsom responded.
The humility is overwhelming. Everyone made mistakes: the state governor and the guy in the parking lot. Let’s not blame anyone, just know that next time around we’ll do things completely differently in the same way.
Despite considerable prodding from Todd on specifics where Newsom would have made different decisions in his hard-hit state, including the protracted closure of in-person learning at schools, the governor largely kept to generalities.
At the same time, Newsom bemoaned the partisan nature of the pandemic and how every decision by he and counterparts in other states and the White House were all viewed through a partisan prism.
“It should be alarming to all of us that that all of a sudden health became partisan,” he said. “And that’s something we’re going to pay a big price, you’re right, going forward. But it won’t break us because we’re remarkably resilient.”
Much as “we” really meant “I” in the previous quote, that’s what it means here too. Newsom is incredibly resilient. Being hated for his abusive policies won’t break him. He’s got money and he’s first in line to the presidency if Biden blows it.
He’s really sorry for the things he won’t specify but that are really everyone’s fault. And they won’t stop him from trying to rule the country.
Newscum is complete scum. I HATE that smarmy, slick haired weakling. His scrawny limbs and pot belly bother me almost as much as the French Laundry.
I would love to be alone with him in a remote space. Hell, he could bring a friend and it wouldn’t matter. They wouldn’t have a chance.
Not that I would ever assault a CA Governor. That would be illegal.
Sure it’s illegal, but it shouldn’t be. If anyone deserves a good ass kicking it’s him. There’s just no justice anymore.
Yeah, besides his policies, don’t you hate that habitual sneer of his? And what’s with the grease-pit hairdo?
He looks like he should be selling penny stocks.
To believe Newsom didn’t know what he was doing, or would’ve changed anything in hindsight, is to believe fairies fart pixie dust. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing. With his perceived kingship looming on the horizon, and after taking a bite of the globalist control “apple”, he was well aware of the signals he needed to send to garner support for his most-deserved coronation. A modicum of backtracking as appeasement to “the little people”, while at the same time deflecting through the “WE” pronoun, is what high-functioning Democrats do best.
A toolbag of the highest order.
What does that say about Kalifornians- they voted for that fool.
No, Newscum beat his recall vote through fraud. He’s like Alzheimer Joe. Most of us Califonians hate him.
Fairies don’t fart pixie dust? 🙂
I don’t know about their farts, but they do poop pixie dust these days. My roommate showed me an ad for and ingestible product online to make your poop glitter.
What the Hell? Who even looks at their poop much less want it to glitter? The madness never ends, although I’ll look up that ad because it sounds funny.
I just looked it up and there are many brands of glitter poop! I saw three unicorn brands. Damn, some people are weird.
There was even a tab for edible poop but I didn’t dare to look at that.
His family even made some money off it, with sweetheart deals on PPE from China.
“Mistakes were made.”
Newsom is a tota idiot wants o add a Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and repeal the 2nd Amassment wants to ban gasoline cars over a total scam. Newsom the Stupid the only thing he needs is a swift kick in the backside
I like the statement, “And they won’t stop him from trying to rule the country.” That’s the problem with too many politicians today, especially the progressives, they forget they are supposed to lead the country not rule it.
“It should be alarming to all of us that that all of a sudden health became partisan,” he said. That’s rich, considering the dems were the first to make covid partisan. when early on, Trump tried to restrict travel from China and discouraged the big street parties planned for SanFran and NYC. Then it was racist Trump and racist Republicans being “authoritarian,” and instituting racist policies. Dems went out of their way to send infected Americans home, and one ambassador did directly against Trumps orders, to the cheers of the democrat party and msm.
“We didn’t know what we didn’t know,” as if we’ve never dealt with a flu epidemic before, or what medicines to treat it with. And who could have known that mandating covid patients be sent into nursing homes would kill people?
Chuck Todd didn’t “press,” crap, the democrat party hack played along with Newsom perfectly.
