The Race to Replace

For John, BLUF:  California used to be a wonderful place, until it overreached.  First it tried to throttle State Government spending and then it tried to implement a total Progressive agenda.  Neither worked out.  Moderation should be the watchword.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Conspiracy Theorist Gavin Newsom Says the People Leading His Recall Are Capitol Rioters Who Want to Implant Chips in People

From PJ Media, by Ms Victoria Taft, 17 March 2021, 9:25 AM ET.

Here is the lede plus four:

The effort to qualify a recall of California Governor Gavin Newsom for the ballot just hit the sweet spot, two million signatures.  That means as soon as the requisite signatures are validated, his recall will be scheduled for an election.

And the closer that day comes, the more desperate Newsom sounds.

Newsom can’t believe that normal people would want him out of office, so he’s constructed the idea that only QAnon conspiracy theorists, Proud Boys, and people “who want to put chips into migrants” have concocted his recall … well, them and two million other people.

Of course, the effort to recall Newsom started well before anyone had ever heard of QAnon, or stormed the Capitol, but the governor told the slack jawed hosts on ABC TV’s The View on Tuesday that those behind his recall are “fans” of the “Capitol insurrection” “are quite literally QAnon supporters.”

And they bought it.

What concerns me is that there are two million registered voters in California who are followers of QAnon and such.  This should be of concern to all of us.

Good luck to the voters of California.

In the mean time, it is a race to see which State Governor goes first, Governor Gavin Newsom of California or Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York.
