Ever since before he was elected Governor of California, I’ve had a very specific complaint about Gavin Newsom. His entire political career has been marked by two fundamental realities: He’s exceptionally good at winning elections and among the worst this nation has ever seen when it comes to being a leader. His policy promises resonate through his perfect smile and smooth voice. When put into practice, his policies are complete and utter disasters. He took a thrive San Francisco and turned it into the third-world city we see today. He took on some of the biggest projects as Lt. Governor and proceeded to butcher literally every single one of them. The fact that he’s in the Governor’s office is proof-positive that Americans, particularly Californians, pay more attention to aesthetic and personality than character or effectiveness. A resurfaced video from an interview during his time spent destroying San Francisco has many commenting on the “American Psycho” vibe he puts on display. He is clearly uncomfortable and defensive, trying to chuckle his way through tough questions in the aftermath of a string of public relations failures.
