Gavin Newsom, who is no doubt planning to run for president, made a catastrophic blunder by trying to relate to a largely black audience in Atlanta, Georgia.
What did Gavin presume that he had in common with the audience? The fact that he had a low SAT score and struggles reading.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
Newsom, whose state is currently drowning in crime and homelessness, decided to leave the disaster he created out West to kick off his nationwide book tour this weekend.
The tour for his new book, laughably titled ‘Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery,’ started in Nashville on Saturday. But the real trainwreck happened on Sunday during his stop in Atlanta, Georgia.
His so-called “book tour” managed to draw a whole handful of attendees, predominantly a black crowd.
While sitting down for what was supposed to be a friendly chat with Atlanta’s Democrat Mayor Andre Dickens, Newsom attempted to pander to the audience, a predominantly Black crowd, by bringing up his dyslexia and what he described as his “inability to read written text.”
Instead, he delivered a series of incredibly offensive, cringe-inducing remarks.
Newsom tried to come off as relatable to the people at his book tour by essentially equating their intelligence level with his own.
No one is buying his excuse that he was referencing his Dyslexia. Unless he believed that the audience was filled with other people who also have Dyslexia, he was still trying to relate to their perceived inability to read.
Will the left now drag him through the mud for his racism, or is that reserved for politicians with an “R” by their name?
