Newsom Trolls Trump Over Epstein Connection




Perhaps the biggest social media/pop culture event this week was the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert which captured a CEO with his arms wrapped around his company's HR manager. The couple then tried to hide from the camera once they realized they were on it as they are both married to other people. The video in Newsom's troll post takes that video from the kiss cam and superimposes the faces of Epstein and Trump over the cheating pair. For added effect, a Coldplay song is playing over the video.

1. I'm starting to think Newsom has taken over as party leader

It’s certainly not Schumer, Pelosi, or Jeffries.

C’mon Dems take Newsom’s lead. Every dem should be calling Stephen miller a ‘cuck’. He’s trolling Trump really well and I like that he’s not dismissing this as a ‘distraction’.

2. I live in his hometown; I'd been a solid "No" because of the hate directed at SF & California; but I'm changing a bit.

I know if he runs, it'll be 24-7 of homeless nastiness and "This is what Gavin Newsom did to California. This is what he'll do to America!"

It's a hard slander to overcome. And I don't think repeating over and over again "We're the XX bigggest economy in the world!" will counteract the real and AI images of squalor.

He is making an effort to go to the middle, hopefully without selling out, but good looks and charisma go a long way in politics.
And he is going hard after the Republicans and Trump.

He’s the best governor I’ve seen since I moved here. I ran a small business with a national footprint for twenty five years, and worked for the state for ten years before retiring.

He’s sharp and sensible and he’d make a great president.

seen of him taking the Fight to the Traitor.

I'm not going to diss other Dems, though when saying positive things about Newsom.

Too Divisive.. WE need Unity.. not Divisiveness.

7. More of this. Come on Dems! Stop with tired "kitchen table" cliches

That’s old and is bringing a wet noodle to a knife fight.

Dems need smarter messaging on every level.

I wish that party leadership was doing even half the blood-letting that Newsom is doing, these days. Talk about wishful thinking...
