There are some politicians who seemingly didn’t get the “shame” gene—you know, the one that makes you feel embarrassed when you do something stupid or unethical. Bill Clinton comes to mind. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is at or near the top of the list.
One smooth-talking pol trying to make it into the No Shame Hall of Fame is California’s Gov. Gavin Newsom, who will with a toothy smile tell you the Golden State model is awesome even as we’re surrounded by homelessness, as our taxes keep going up while services decline, and as a tsunami of companies has ditched the joint for greener pastures in recent years.
It’s hardly a surprise, then, to see the famously well-coiffed governor flying to Washington, D.C., Wednesday to beg the president for more money to recover from the tragic wildfires—only to return home and immediately approve a $50 million special legislative, “Trump-proofing” package.
Now that takes some gall, even for the guy who decades ago promised us he would solve the (ever-worsening) homelessness crisis.
Gavin Newsome and the state of California should be ignored by the full Trump administration for the duration of Trumps term.
