| It’s sad to watch a grown man talk about his SAT score this way. |
Newsom's parents divorced and his mother raised Gavin and his sister as a single mother working as a waitress and secretary. How was she a millionaire. Newsom's father had the money as an appellate judge. Newsom has spoken about how he lived in two different worlds going back and forth between his parents home. He attended university on partial scholarship. |
| If they float Gavin we are going to end up with JD. They need to run someone like the PA governor or Walz. |
Someone like “the PA governor or Walz”? They are two very different people. |
| This is the best California could do? Really? |
Certain subcultures, huh? Tell us more. Say it with your chest. |
He attended Santa Clara University in the Bay Area and got in through nepotism. Newsom likes to say he got into college through baseball and played first base but people who were actually on the team said he never played. He showed up for tryouts for the junior varsity team but never played in a game. He doesn't appear in any official team roster. The alleged scholarship was for $500 but no one has ever seen official documents of that. The real reason he got into college was nepotism. This is from Cal Matters a non partisan news organization. https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/04/gavin-newsom-baseball-college/ Eager to ensure his spot, Newsom’s family also solicited letters of recommendation from former Gov. Jerry Brown, who attended Santa Clara University for one year and appointed William Newsom to the Superior Court and the state Court of Appeal during his first term as governor, and from John Mallen, an attorney who served on Santa Clara’s board of regents at the time. Mallen, who described William Newsom as “my best friend for 75 years,” said he did not frequently write letters of recommendation for applicants while he was on the board. This is typical Newsom exaggerating facts for his benefit and being sly and cagey about it, then when called on it says it isn't his duty to correct the record. |
| I agree he's extremely self-promoting. But given the last President, apparently Americans like that... |
| Republicans pounce … will they demand proof of his 960 score? Dude doesn’t seem like a total moron. |
| Can't stand this guy. I happily voted for Hillary, agreeably voted for Biden, and joyfully voted for Kamala. If this guy is the Dem choice in '28 I will grudgingly give him my vote I suppose. |
Newsom was not some love child unacknowledged by his father. The mother received alimony and continued the same lifestyle post divorce. Newscum is a liar |
| A young Gavin was on display in a 1991 San Francisco chronicle column titled “the children of the rich” |
They haven’t provided evidence of Kamala’s summer job at McDonald’s. You would think Dems would learn from Trump that wealth is not what Americans hate, it’s liars and frauds. Being genuine helps |
| Not sure what this guy brings to the table, other than a poor SAT score. |
