I kinda thought Gavin Newsom was a reptilian slime creepy guy. Today I found a story from 2007 that confirms my impressions of him... Back at this time, Gavin Newsom was the Mayor Slime of San Fransisco, he was running for re-election. Then his campaign manager, and dear friend of more than 10 years, Alex Tourk, suddenly resigned for personal reasons.
It turns out that Alex's wife, Ruby, had been an alcoholic. As she was going through her 12 steps to battle her alcoholism, she confessed to her husband that she'd had an affair with the Gruesome Mr. Newsom. Mayor Newsom happened to be out of town (at Davos) at the time she confessed to her husband. Tourk waited until Newsom was back to tender his resignation in person. (Whoa! To be a fly on the wall in that meeting!)
It happened to have been a fairly indiscreet affair. As soon as the resignation went public, every newspaper in the state published stories explaining how personal the reasons for the resignation were...
My OH my!!!
The video seems to have been scrubbed off YouTube... I wonder if someone would ever ask how he's 'living with it now'? Or if he ever sought forgiveness from Alex Tourk? Or why Ruby didn't go public during the 'MeToo' time... Perhaps she got a boatload of money from Aunt Nancy for an NDA?
Gavin Newsom is a terrible candidate because of the policies he advocates, and the effects those policies have on his city and his state. I didn't realize that his personal life was also a complete dumpster fire...

Look, we aren't going to find people of good morals among the left - at any level. Schizophrenia aside, the human psyche is a single thing. It can't be immoral in only one dimension.

And Newsom's apology ended with his real point, that he was not going to let this breaking news interrupt his governance for the next few months.

The dude gives off a Damien Thorn vibe.

Dude! Patrick Bateman all the way! Even the resemblance to the actor (Christian Bale) is uncanny. Its like the producers knew Gavin Newsom...

Have to say that this occurs all over the political spectrum.
