As Twitchy readers know, Gavin Newsom got his feelers hurt by Ted Cruz ... of course, Newsom isn't bright enough to understand what the actual insult was, but still.
Way to play the victim when it makes zero sense.
Ted Cruz calling a dyslexic person illiterate is a new low, even for him. https://t.co/XC75ybiGKd

Cruz didn't call Newsom illiterate, he said he was illiterate of history.
It's embarrassing enough to act like a big baby in front of the world on X, but then to basically prove the point Cruz didn't actually even make? Ouch.
And the Community Note on his post says it all:

Legendary, even.
So good.
It really is an all-timer and worthy of a bookmark for 2028.

The GOP should absolutely run ads including this post.
Who's going to read the CN to Gavin?

Maybe they should have used smaller words in the note?

If this was an actual picture of his victim card it would look far more used.
