I think I get what Newsom’s trying to do here, but he certainly could have tailored that message better. Talk and debate across political beliefs? Okay, I guess. But he didn’t mention a word about the trans hatred or the cavalier belief that people getting shot is the cost of upholding the 2nd amendment. Missed. Opportunity.
