It’s becoming a pattern with the Newsom administration – despite the governor failing to solve some of California’s biggest issues, his team is working overtime to gaslight Californians into thinking everything is going swimmingly.
- ⛺️ Under Newsom, homelessness has soared nearly 20% – but his office thinks that’s a good thing.
- 📉 California’s population decreased for the first time and the state is expected to lose another 4 congressional seats in the next round of redistricting – but Team Newsom doesn’t seem concerned.
- ⛽️ Californians pay the second-highest gas prices in the country ($1.26 above the national average) thanks to Newsom’s taxes and mandates – and his administration is taking a victory lap (with no evidence to support their claims).
- 🤷♂️Despite having, objectively, one of the worst records on jobs in the country, with recent growth confined to government and health care sectors – Newsom recently took the opportunity to boast about private-sector jobs.
- 🖥️ Days after Central Valley leaders slammed the Newsom administration for leaving their communities out of broadband expansion projects, Newsom’s comms team sent a release – you guessed it – bragging about broadband access.
A safe rule of thumb is that any time Newsom celebrates an “achievement,” there’s some bad news on that issue he’s trying to distract from.
