I don’t like Newsom (and am not from the USA), but the context of this Tweet is very clearly a response to Trump and an attack on his behaviour (especially of late), re: insulting/mocking Rob Reiner’s death. His office/PR has regularly used Ronald Reagan’s quotes (as the former hero of the Republicans) to point out how completely embarrassing and perverse Trump’s presidency is to their former ‘ethics’ and values, and to ignore that context as tacit approval for Reagan is disingenuous.
This article (from a UK publisher) is really clutching at straws.
Having said all that, personally I think AOC or Bernie would be 100 times better candidates. Original Tweet below.
Lol describing the presidency under Reagan as “a reminder of our common humanity” is 1000% praising and whitewashing Reagan, there is nothing “disingenuous” about it whatsoever.
The DNC just buried its autopsy report from the 2024 election. Who knows what it said. But maybe Democrats ought to simply stop uplifting Republicans every chance they get. Fuck the outreach. Use other examples. I don’t like this guy at all anymore. He’s a snake.
