Gov. Gavin Newsom Claims Calling Him “Historically Illiterate” is Bigoted Because He’s Dyslexic

Have we not had enough of this with Biden already? Every time someone pointed out that Joe Biden was a crazy liar who couldn’t seem to finish a sentence, activists and the media shouted that we were insulting a struggling ‘stutterer’.

Now, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a obnoxious rich kid from a crooked family tied to the Gettys and the Brown dynasty, frantically trying to build a ‘hard luck story’ kept claiming that he was really a poor kid and an oppressed minority because he “struggled with dyslexia.”

That and endless cash from the Getty clan. Between the two, I’d say Getty money shaped his life far more than his alleged dyslexia.

Is Newsom going to go playing the ‘dyslexia’ card every time someone criticizes him? All signs point to yes.

Sen. Ted Cruz did a podcast episode headlined as “Gavin Newsom is historically illiterate.”

Newsom’s response, “Ted Cruz calling a dyslexic person illiterate is a new low, even for him.”

He’s probably going to blame his ignorance of what “historically illiterate” means on dyslexia too, but Newsom’s problem isn’t that he’s dyslexic, it’s that he’s a shallow idiot whose slickness goes as deep as his hair gel and there’s nothing underneath. Nothing at all.
