are reigniting talk of a recall that was once relegated to the fringes of conservative groups in deep blue California.
In a collision of unfortunate events for Newsom, conservative activists last week won a 120-day court extension to continue gathering recall signatures, and they're hoping to capitalize on events so damaging for the governor that he has avoided reporters for a week despite an escalating pandemic crisis.
Nearly two decades after California Republicans successfully fueled the drive to recall Democratic Gov. Gray Davis and catapult Arnold Schwarzenegger to the state’s top spot, the GOP faithful are hoping the court ruling will be a “game changer," said Tom Del Beccaro, chair of the"It makes all the difference in the world for us," said Del Beccaro, former chair of the California Republican Party.
Before Newsom's foibles, the governor had strong approval ratings in October, approaching 60 percent overall, while Democrats enjoy nearly a 2-to-1 registration advantage over Republicans in the state. But party activists are betting that a new round of business closures and a curfew during a fast-moving coronavirus spread — and the flurry of damaging French Laundry stories — will help them with another longshot bid that worked spectacularly in 2003.
“We haven’t had school since March ... I’m juggling things together, my husband just took on a third job,’’ said Andrea Hedstrom, a 45-year-old mother who described herself as a lifelong Democrat before volunteering to work on the recall drive this year. "And Gavin Newsom has continued to keep his kids in tuition-based schools. And I see them here in Sacramento playing with nannies and dog walkers.
Never had opportunity three hundred per serving; socialist Social Security Disability Income recipient. Want socialist governor & government that represents my interest. Want him inside washing machine dirty money launder. Gavin Christopher Newsom wears no washateria. Nude greed.
'Do as I say not as I do'. The way of the New Left.
If you’re going to gather in a group of 20+ people, not socially distanced and not wearing a mask and demand the Governor be recalled because he was “caught” at a dinner (at the restaurants y’all DEMAND stay open) not wearing a mask/distancing - y’all can STFU and go home.
Perfect example of why the right is cracking and will eventually overtake the left.
Problem with Gavin’s status & other politicos he was chosen by the establishment not by California residents -anti mask league is anti DNC - his leadership lacks addressing substantive issues & his imagery is of a career politician !
Everyone should be mad he was meeting with those lobbyists. He's no good. C'mon he used to date Kimberly Guilfoyle. She's disgusting too
Socialism is for the people, not the socialist. Progressive elites and their families never participate in the policies and regulations they force upon us...they vote against school choice, and send their kids to private school.
He was such a bad choice for governor.
If Trump did this they would've celebrated it
All this aside, if any one of us had the means to send our kids to in-person private school, we would. But we don't and I don't have kids.
He did decide to marry Kimberly.
Ahhh yes. I love to see news like this. Finally, it’s not just a theory or those “crazy” right wingers. Now Newsom is doing damage and angering those that elected him.
Meh.He’ll just appoint himself senator
NEWSOME IS SAVING YOU YOU DUMMIES !!GO TAKE CARE OF COVID PATIENTS INSTEAD OF HOLDING SIGNS YAH LOOSERS
California is not geographically “deep blue”. And we are allowed to have political opposing opinions, even in the “deep blue” areas.
Listen up politicians! We see YOU! Like a parent, you set an example for ALL! HYPOCRITES! I don’t care WHAT party you’re from! If you want people to follow rules, YOU NEED TO SHOW THE EXAMPLE! If I tell my kids they can’t do something, that means I can’t either!
Yes, recalling Newsom will make covid go away and we can go inside and dine and open schools like it never happen.
Recall someone who’s actually saving lives? Absurd. Imagine if DeSantis were running CA? CA would have 10k deaths by now under that type of “I don’t give a fk about my citizens” mindset.
BS!
This is still talk that is relegated to fringe conservative groups.
Better pay your rent first.
Have ALWAYS been a supporter of Newsom and don’t support recall but can see why these lapses of judgement during such a critical time in the country and our state have sparked this. Now more than ever we need shared sacrifice and for our leaders to be the example
California is either controlled by the Republican Party and then broken down into small states. 55 electoral votes, unfair.
I'm a down-the-line Dem voter, but I'd never vote for Newsom after AB5, the bill that the Daily Kos described as 'destroying lives'.
