And people wonder WHY Democrats are the MOST DANGEROUS THREAT to Democracy that ever existed!!
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom is trying to dig himself out of a political predicament when it comes to slavery reparations proposed by his own task force.

 Fox News Digital was first to report Tuesday evening that Newsom, after months of complete silence on the issue, declined to endorse the cash payments – which could reach as high as $1.2 million for a single recipient – recommended by his reparations task force, arguing that dealing with the legacy of slavery "is about much more than cash payments." 

 "It will take absurd mental gymnastics to require California taxpayers, including new immigrants, low-income workers, and even some African Americans to pay for a wrong committed by other states more than 150 years ago, but that’s the position Newsom put himself in," Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher told Fox News Digital. 

 "No matter what he does, he’s going to anger part of his base," he said. "This is just one more example of the Governor’s tendency to make big promises he can’t or won’t keep, and people are going to learn quickly that Newsom is all talk but no action."

 Newsom's predicament – having to choose between endorsing budget-busting checks or angering a key Democratic constituency – is in large part a problem of his own making. 

 After the George Floyd riots in 2020, Newsom signed legislation that made California the first in the nation to embark on a massive socio-economic experiment of creating a majority governor-appointed group to explore potential slavery reparations for Black Americans.The proposal set forth by the California Reparations Task Force on Saturday, which is estimated to cost more than double California’s overall budget, would risk bankrupting the state, but those who likely support it make up a significant block of the Democratic Party – a 2021 poll by the University of Massachusetts Amherst/WCVB found that 64% of Democrats and 86% of Black Americans support reparations.

While the Democratic governor applauded the task force's work in Tuesday's statement, he declined to endorse any specific recommendations, though he pledged to continue to "advance systemic changes that ensure an inclusive and equitable future for all Californians." "Many of the recommendations put forward by the Task Force are critical action items we’ve already been hard at work addressing: breaking down barriers to vote, bolstering resources to address hate, enacting sweeping law enforcement and justice reforms to build trust and safety, strengthening economic mobility — all while investing billions to root out disparities and improve equity in housing, education, healthcare, and well beyond. This work must continue," he said.

Some of these people want $200 million for every black person in the state...

Are liberals losers or what?

What Newsom did was put ALL KNEEGROWS on his little committee and he HOPED they would recommend some little paltry sum of something and a few revisions to law recommendations and it ALL BLEW UP IN HIS STUPID EFFING FACE!!

Now, he's backed into a corner with no where to hide or run to. Ask me how sorry I feel for him!!

The last part sounds like a Miss America speech. "I want peace and harmony all over the world" while he **** on his own state.

The POWER HUNGRY and EVIL Democrats have been **** on California for over 40 years. And they wonder WHY people are leaving in the millions. Obviously these LWNJs are way to STUPID to understand what is happening and who is the ROOT CAUSE of it all. Or they are too broke from all the LWNJ **** TAXATION to afford to leave. So they stick around hoping beyond hope that the State will toss them a few crumbs to keep them afloat for another week or two.

Both Newsom and Cuomo have begged those that left their states to come back. Newsome ran ads in Florida and Cuomo offered to cook dinner for the fat cats that left NY.


They are pathetic and abusive to our country.
