California Gov. Gavin Newsom shows all the signs 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's been such a failure in his present position?
He's failed on so many issues, including the Palisades fire and homelessness. He's even failed when it came to a bill dealing with menopause, as Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry explained when she railed against him during The New York Times DealBook Summit. Newsom vetoed the bill, and Berry said he is devaluing women. What made her remarks even better was that she did it shortly before he spoke at the same summit, which is why he might have ended up in that extreme cross-legged, "testicle-crushing" sitting position. It went viral, and everyone mocked him for it.
Hot Takes: Internet Has a Ball Mocking Newsom’s Eyebrow-Raising Sitting Pose
Newsom has been trying to dig himself out of the hole ever since.
First, as to Berry. He said on Thursday that she just "didn't know" that he really planned to do something about the menopause bill. He claimed he was going to include it in next year's budget, and he had been concerned about higher costs. Way to play clean-up after the fact there, buddy. He no doubt realized she exposed his failures to a vital group of people that he's going to desperately need for any future run: women.
Then, he tried to deal with the mockery over his "testicle-crushing' position. But I think it's safe to say that he created a whole new issue with that effort. I suspect many memes will be born out of this.
Oh my, I don't think that's quite the flex he thinks it is. If that's showing off the assets he has to be president, that's not saying much.
Now you know, between his account and the press office account, the hot takes are 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.
Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen couldn't believe they posted it.
Some predicted this would tank Newsom's aspirations.
Others thought it was the perfect representation of Democrats.
Newsom is apparently trying to wrest the weird crown from Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
It does look like a Howard Dean moment. That's when the Dean Scream in Jan. 2004 revealed what a weirdo he was to most normal people, and that completely finished him for president.
