The Daily Show explains Gavin Newsom to people outside California
Gavin Newsom is California's slickest retail politician and conservative media's favorite coastal elite.
Gavin Newsom is California’s slickest retail politician and conservative media’s favorite coastal elite. The Daily Show covers Newsom’s highly probable rise, family ties, and bulletproof hair.
The Daily Show doesn’t crown Gavin Newsom as a savior or condemn him as a menace. It does something more exciting: it attempts to explain him. TDS shows that Newsom entered politics for self-service, not public service, and recent events demonstrate that Gavin is willing to change the positions he was elected on to reach a wider audience. Giving air time to people who do not deserve the light of day on his podcast, and abandoning issues when it serves him. While Newsom’s team tweets a mean game, he isn’t the most genuine guy around.
Most common remark I hear about Newsom here in LA; "He's an asshole, but he's our asshole."
Gavin projects that used car salesman vibe even over the tv airwaves. He is just slightly better than any of the republican candidates that they have run against him over the years.
