You have to hand it to Gavin Newsom. He understands that being a brazen hypocrite is an asset in politics.
For 20 years, he has been a left-wing crusader, serving as Mayor of San Francisco, Lieutenant Governor of California, and now Governor. Every step along the way, he has been the slick and generally attractive, in more ways than one, face of the radical left. He has cultivated deep ties to the tech community and the Chamber of Commerce types, but his policies have steadily moved a state once governed by Ronald Reagan so far left that it has almost fallen into the Pacific Ocean.
It has been a formula that has worked well for him, although he did face a campaign in 2020 and 2021 that flopped badly.
