If you want to really understand Gavin Newsom, how he got his starts in business and politics, and his family's relationship with the Getty family, read this thread. It's just pages of an archived article but it's super interesting. It's based on an interview with his father from 2003.

Before Gavin became Mayor of SF his father did an interview with SF Weekly. The newspaper then published an article entitled "Bringing Up Baby Gavin." The article is no longer on the SF Weekly website but it wasn't difficult to find an archived version of it.

Most people know about Newsom's father and the Getty family but there's some great details in this article. Gavin Newsom's father was a judge who used his position to help Gordon Getty get access to the Getty family money. He even helped Gordon Getty sue his own father to get access to the family trust. In return for these favors and many others, Gordon Getty put him in charge of managing a massive amount of money. Guess how Gavin got the funds to start his fancy businesses at such a young age.

In 10 of Gavin's first 11 businesses, the primary money came from the Getty family.

Gavin Newsom currently claims that he got his start in politics after Willie Brown read an article about him, called him and offered him a position. That's not at all what Gavin's father said in 2003. Gavin's father said he was responsible for Willie Brown giving Newsom his start. That makes a little more sense.

As many politicians do, Gavin will be rewriting his history as he gets ready to announce his run for President. He will be telling all sorts of fictional stories about his past. Here's some truth. Page 2 of 9

Tyranny and oppression can come quickly. We should not forget what happened just a couple years ago. Evil.

Some midweek entertainment..

🧵 A thread of various flip-flops, contradictions, lies, and wonderful displays of hypocrisy.🤪

If you enjoy this type of content, be sure to follow me. I've made hundreds of these.😆

1. Fauci rewrites history. 2. Biden on inflation.

Fact checking RFK Jr.:

"President Trump let the Bush wing of the GOP run all of his agencies.": Was Ben Carson part of the "Bush wing"?

"All of Trump's support for farmers went to Big Ag conglomerates.": This is not true. A large portion went to conglomerates but at a very minimum, by all accounts, at least 50% went to small farmers.

"We got a tax cut for Jeff Bezos.": This is a Democrat talking point. Even The NY Times looked at it and determined that Trump's tax cut reduced taxes for almost everyone.

"Rioting and Looting: Trump inflamed tensions.": How exactly did Trump do this? Because the media said it over and over? Biden ran on the Fine People Hoax, a lie meant to inflame racial tensions. He performed his dishonest routine almost every single day. RFK Jr. has no issue with Biden though. Outlets like CNN repeated the Fine People Hoax even though they knew it was a lie. Why? To inflame racial tensions. Democrats wanted the country to burn before the election so why is RFK Jr. pretending otherwise? Day after day Biden told Black Americans that they are not safe in the streets because of white supremacy. While Trump was calling for the end of the violence, Democrat politicians were cheering the riots on. It was Biden who claimed that Antifa was an "idea" as they tore the country to pieces. And under his presidency, HATE CRIMES HAVE SKYROCKETED UNDER BIDEN. They have reached an all-time high. In other words, there was much less racial tension under Trump than under the current President. Why doesn't RFK Jr. talk about that?

"Trump bragged about arming Ukraine more than Obama did.": He sure did, and you know who approved of his decision? Joe Biden. In 2018 Biden said that Trump's decision to arm Ukraine was the right decision and claimed that he was begging Obama to do it. RFK Jr. did you know that? But Trump giving Ukraine weapons wasn't a deterrent claims RFK Jr. and that it caused Russia to attack Ukraine? RFK leaves out everything that happened during the Obama administration including the coup America completed in 2013. Russia went into Ukraine during the Obama presidency and the Biden presidency, not the Trump presidency, but RFK Jr. blames Trump. Does that make sense to anyone?

Trump did appoint some neocons like John Bolton but he also fired them. It was John Bolton, the neocon, leading the charge to impeach Trump. Remember that?

"Trump killed an Iranian general.": Yes. So what? What did that cause? Biden gave them 6 BILLION dollars. Did RFK Jr. complain about that?

"Trump failed to fulfill his promise of ending the war in Afghanistan.": Didn't Biden blame every bad thing that happened during the Afghan withdrawal on the fact that Trump made a deal and had the withdrawal planned and scheduled for 2021? Biden gets to blame Trump but Trump gets no credit for scheduling the withdrawal?

"Trump invented lockdowns.": This is the craziest of them all. There is not one human being alive who said in 2020 that Trump was fighting to lockdown the country. Everybody, from Chris Cuomo to Fauci to RFK Jr. complained on TV in 2020 that Trump was trying to open the country too soon. During the Presidential debates Trump was asked repeatedly why he was fighting to open the country. Biden repeatedly accused Trump of not listening to Fauci's recommendations to keep the country closed. You will never find a clip of the media accusing Trump of wanting to keep the country locked down in 2020 but there are dozens if not hundreds of clips of Fauci going on TV and complaining that Trump was ignoring his orders. Regardless of the few times that Trump talked about lockdowns that folks like to point out, Trump explicitly stated that he was leaving it up the governors. I've posted dozens of clips of governors saying that Trump left the decision to them. Meanwhile Fauci now states that he never called for lockdowns, even though there are so many clips of him doing that exact thing. The fact of the matter is that every human alive knew in 2020 that Trump based his re-election chances on opening the economy. Everyone knew that he wanted to open the country. I have posted clips of DeSantis explicitly stating that Trump left the decision to him but it doesn't stop Trump haters from blaming Trump.

"Trump did nothing to stop the opioid crisis.": That's another lie. In 2019 he allocated 1.8 billion to combat the opioid crisis. If RFK Jr. is not a Democrat trying to help Biden, why has he not addressed this issue as it has continued to skyrocket under the current President? "All of Trump's support for farmers went to Big Ag conglomerates.": Not true.

If there were ever any doubts that Joe Biden uses his son Beau's death for political purposes, this thread should put an end to it.

How Joe Biden used his son's death during the 2016 and 2020 election cycles.

Beau Biden died on May 30, 2015 from brain cancer. It's no secret that Joe Biden was thinking about running for President around that time. Unfortunately for him, Hillary Clinton had decided to run and was by all accounts the favorite to win the Presidency. She announced her candidacy in April of 2015 and had already gained plenty of momentum.

On August 1, 2015, just two months after Beau's death, Maureen Dowd wrote a piece in The NY Times entitled "Joe Biden in 2016: What Would Beau Do?" In the article Dowd gave the details of Beau Biden's dying wish. It was "leaked" to her that Beau's dying wish was for his father to run for President in 2016 because Beau didn't want the country to fall back under the control of the Clintons. She actually wrote that.

Shortly after, the source of the leak of Beau Biden's dying wish was revealed. It was Joe Biden himself who told Maureen Dowd that his son's dying wish was for him to run for President to prevent the Clintons from regaining power.

JOE BIDEN, JUST TWO MONTHS AFTER HIS SON DIED, USED HIS SON'S DEATH TO PUSH A STORY ABOUT A DYING WISH, TO TEST THE WATERS AND SEE IF DEMOCRATS WOULD SUPPORT HIM INSTEAD OF HILLARY.
