They are good, for sure.

As a Californian, I have my issues with Newsom but I think the way he is responding to this, specifically, is spot-on. Call out the bullshit, make it clear that this a manufactured crisis by TFG and his sewer clowns. Make it clear the vast majority of the protests are peaceful, and there are always going to be a few people who take advantage of situations like this to light shit on fire, which should be condemned. Show some passion and backbone for ffs and take them on head first*.

*I realize that as a white man who is Governor of the country's largest state, Newsom is probably in a unique position to do so, but the playbook should be the same for every single elected Dem.
