Someone in Gavin Newsom’s camp might want to remind him that the three things he’s most known for are:

Once be married to Donald Trump Jr.’s current girlfriend.

Secretly attending a dinner at French Laundry in Napa Valley, maskless, after forcing his state into a devastating covid lockdown that destroyed thousands of businesses. 

Being on the watch for a massive deterioration of California. 

On Friday, Newsom got a rush of boldness and sent a Tweet where he challenged Florida Governor For DeSantis to a debate. 

Seriously, with all the issues California has right now, he took time to unleash a weird publicity stunt that could come back to haunt him. 

“Hey @GovRonDeSantis, clearly you’re struggling, distracted, and busy playing politics with people’s lives. Since you have only one overriding need — attention –let’s take this up & debate. I’ll bring my hair gel. You bring your hairspray. Name the time before Election Day.”

Not a great look.  What’s next, a celebrity boxing match? 

On paper, a debate between the Progressive Newsom and the admired leader of a vibrant red state seems titled toward Florida. Newsom may want to brush up on DeSantis’ bio. 

On Friday, DeSantis addressed the challenge at a press conference, saying that Newsom’s “hair gel is interfering with his brain function.”

Newsom asked the Department of Justice to investigate DeSantis and Greg Abbot and said they use kids as political pawns. 

Sort of like forcing school children to wear masks and attend school for a year via Zoom?
