How Corrupt Is Gavin Newsom? So Corrupt That It’s Positively Staggering.
Robert Spencer
If President Dementia finally falters for good and Vice President Cackler is somehow persuaded to allow herself to be eased into a comfortable and lucrative retirement, and if the persistent rumors about a Michelle Obama presidential campaign prove to be just that — rumors — the Commissar of the California Soviet Socialist Republic, Gavin Newsom, is waiting in the wings. In 2028, he won’t have so many people ahead of him in the Democrat food chain, and he could conceivably turn out to be the occupant of the Oval Office someday. But some of his recent dealings in the tarnished Golden State may end up derailing his ambitions before he even announces a formal run for the presidency.
As part of his relentless efforts to destroy California as an economic powerhouse and make it the perfect prototype of the borderless socialist hellhole that the left wants to make out of the entire country, Newsom several months ago signed a law raising the minimum wage of fast food workers in the state from $16 an hour to $20 an hour. This should have been enough in itself to kill Newsom’s presidential ambitions, for minimum wage hikes are among the cruelest and most damaging of the many tricks and deceptions that leftists use to gain support.
Raising the minimum wage seems to be an act of looking out for the little guy. Minimum wage laws are supposed to ensure that the greedy top-hatted capitalists of leftist myth are forced not to keep all the profits for themselves, but to ensure a decent living for those whose labor they’re exploiting. Socialist politicians such as Newsom, however, never tell voters about the downside. The New York Post reported Wednesday that “earlier this month, Chipotle executives warned that consumers in California should expect to see ‘significant’ price hikes due to the minimum wage hike.”
