This claim:
“There is nothing I dislike more than the politician that . . . lies to you.” — California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sunday
We say: Ha! Were that so, Newsom would hate himself most of all. In fact, he loves himself, despite (or maybe because of?) his false claims that people haven’t fled California, his state has no crime problem and so on.
He even recently painted his childhood as financially troubled, though his dad was a successful, well-connected lawyer.
Indeed, Newsom seems to see lying as a go-to-strategy
