URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – Everything about California Governor Gavin Newsom is carefully manufactured — the hair, the talking points, the perfectly rehearsed outrage. So, it should surprise absolutely no one that even his book sales aren’t what they appear to be.
Newsom’s new book is being celebrated by his allies and cheerleaders in the media as a bestseller. There’s just one problem: the primary reason it’s flying off shelves is because his own political action committee has spent upward of $1.5 million purchasing thousands of copies of it.
That’s one way to crack the New York Times bestseller list. It’s not exactly honest, but in the Newsom’s world, honesty has always been something of an optional accessory.
Gavin Newsom just used his own PAC to buy $1.5 million worth of his own book. Even more comically, that accounts for 2/3 of the entire print sales. pic.twitter.com/ZvHJqScCB4

Not a single thing about this man is genuine. This is, after all, the same governor who lectured Californians about COVID restrictions while dining maskless at the French Laundry, one of the most expensive restaurants in the country. The same man who presides over a state with rampant homelessness, skyrocketing crime, and an exodus of residents and businesses fleeing his policies — yet somehow always finds time to position himself as the future of the Democratic Party.
Newsom probably sees nothing wrong with this. He certainly won’t be embarrassed about it. He’s incapable of feeling shame. He is a member of the same party that buses in paid supporters for rallies and protests, after all. Manufactured optics are just part of the playbook.
Will Democrats be foolish enough to nominate Newsom in 2028? Given that their last two presidential candidates were Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the answer just might be yes.
