When Californians tried to rein in Newsom's soft-on-crime policies, he tried to sabotage them.

"Second, but no less dread-inducing, he's no longer content doing this only to Californians. No, he wants to do it to Floridians, Texans, New Yorkers, Ohioans ... to all Americans. Newsom is after all, at this very moment, out vying for support for a presidential run despite his masquerading as a mere surrogate for a president unwilling - or unable - to appear publicly on his own behalf. …"
