With California Gov. Gavin Newsom continuing to claim he suffers from dyslexia, a reporter asking for proof of his diagnosis has been told to "f*** off" by the Democrat's communications director.
The question came from Susan Crabtree of Real Clear Politics, who lives in California and asked for any paperwork confirming his dyslexia, a learning disability involving difficulties in acquiring and processing language that is typically manifested by a lack of proficiency in reading, spelling, and writing.
"Newsom has also said he was diagnosed with dyslexia in 1972 – that would be when he was five or six. Is there anything the governor can point to as proof of this?" Crabtree asked.
