Newsom Proves He Learned Nothing from the Recall, Hints He's Dropping the Hammer on Californians

California Governor Gavin Newsom may have survived the recall effort but apparently, he learned nothing from the episode and he’s expressed his desire to buckle down on the main reason his job was threatened in the first place.
According to CBS News, Newsom’s recall victory gave him the idea that what the voters really want is tougher lockdowns and measures when it comes to COVID-19. In fact, he believed it was a message for all Democrats to “stiffen our spines and lean into keeping people safe and healthy.”
“Don’t be timid. Lean in,” he told CBS. “Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about formal authority of setting the tone and tenor on masks — on vaccines and masks. But it’s the moral authority that we have: that we’re on the right side of history and we’re doing the right thing to save people’s lives.”
Funny enough, Newsom was aware that the draconian measures he took during the pandemic were what put his job in danger in the first place, but with his survival, he’s taken it as a mandate to mandate.
