Man oh man, Gavin Newsom really seems to have screwed the proverbial pooch with his latest racist snafu, where he implied black people are stupid. Oh, we get what he was trying to do here, he was trying to pretend he's just like the rest of us poor, stupid slobs (especially black Americans) BUT he failed.
SPECTACULARLY.
We've seen him say and do some stupid stuff, but this was a whopper.
Nicki Minaj noticed something else about his comments:
His way of bonding with black ppl is to tell them how stupid he is & that he can’t read.

This means my first read on him was correct. He’s been handed so many things & put in high positions he never earned or deserved.
Do you wanna know the craziest part of this footage that… https://t.co/llo1k7F7wB
Post continues:
... that will haunt him forever? He’s literally slowing his speech down & talking in a sporadic cadence.
He’s not just TELLING them that they’re all probably stupid & probably can’t read, he’s LITERALLY SLOW-ING-DOWN-HIS-SPEECH to make them understand the words that are coming out of his mouth!!!! As if they’re children!!!! That means he REALLY BELIEVES they’re slow. He’s not just saying it—he didn’t misspeak!!!! He BELIEVES it!!!!
Do ya love it?!?!!
Do ya just love it, black ppl?!????
She brings up a good point. Not only is Gav insulting black people, but he's talking DOWN to them while he does it.
Woof.

This is beyond offensive. @CAgovernor can't read a speech and he certainly can't read an audience. Who awkwardly tries to say they're stupid to try to fit in with a particular demographic? Democrats think this is ok for a governor of the most populated state in the country.

Gavin Newsom is an evil fraud.

Newsom's narcissism is off the charts.

Maybe ol' Gav should spend more time apologizing and less time getting all defensive for his own actions and words.
Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake. This particular enemy sure does make a lot of them.
