'Total lack of self-awareness, illustrated': Gavin Newsom's 'homelessness task force' in Calif. sends heads CRASHING to desks

Doug P. | 10:45 AM on May 22, 2019

The problem of homelessness is out of control in many areas of California, and Gov. Gavin Newsom said he plans to do something about it:

Gov. Gavin Newsom called growing homelessness in California a national disgrace as he announced that he is launching a task force to find solutions. https://t.co/o7XIWNHWzl pic.twitter.com/H6CMInF0VK

A “national disgrace”? Who wants to tell him?

No, it is a disgrace of Democratic governance. I’ve lived here all my life, and the transformation of California’s major cities into sprawling skid rows has been obvious. Talk to the police, who have been hamstrung; talk to the neighborhood associations, who have been stymied. https://t.co/dLFawHsS8p

It’s a disgrace caused by years of progressive one party rule.

Always remember these people think they are smarter than you & want to rule you too. https://t.co/9JifmbNp1S

Um, no. This is your disgrace, not a “national” one, Governor. https://t.co/9G0opxhOfS

What are the odds this “task force” will end up somehow blaming Trump and demanding federal dollars to address it?

Typical democrat solution – form a committee! https://t.co/3rML7rmw9b

Thank God there's a task force on the case. https://t.co/JllPK44YTi

They’re from the government and they’re here to “help” solve problems they created!

Just as with our high gas prices, Governor HairGel's "investigations" will never find the true source: government interference in marketplaces that leads to higher costs and restricted supply. He just wants scapegoats, instead. ? https://t.co/ToA8gSlsjf

It’s a California disgrace. Keep raising those taxes though.

This is how failed Govt works: they cause a problem by meddling, then ‘boldly’ say “I’m gonna fix it by forming a committee.” No, you need to open free markets. https://t.co/r0x2RXS2qA

Parent: You haven’t cleaned your room in a year. There are spilled soda bottles all over the carpet and empty Cheeto bags under the bed.

-Makes promises to the ppl of CA when asking to be their governor.
-Things he said he would fix, get worse.
-"Lets create a task force to find solutions!'

Legit liberal policies at work https://t.co/Ptl2pF2s6e

Sounds like a Local Disgrace, to me.

National disgrace, NO, state and local, YES.

And what will happen after the progressive attempt to solve a problem created by progressivism backfires? Iowahawk has his finger on the pulse of California Democrat politics:
