National Republicans dive into Newsom recall push

The Republican National Committee is sending $250,000 to help the state GOP force a vote over whether the first-term Democrat should remain in office.

"SNIP.....

National Republicans for the first time are jumping into the effort to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the party’s most aggressive move yet to oust the first-term Democrat.

The Republican National Committee is investing $250,000 into the recall campaign, launching a digital and texting program encouraging Californians to sign onto a petition that would qualify the recall for a vote later this year.

To this point, the national party had stayed out of the recall effort, instead leaving it up to local activists to gather signatures. Two state-based groups that have been helping to lead the push, the California Patriot Coalition and Rescue California, say they have over 1.5 million signatures and project they will have 1.6 million by the end of the weekend.

Organizers must submit 1.5 million valid signatures to the secretary of state’s office by March 17 in order to qualify the recall for the ballot, but they say they are trying to gather hundreds of thousands more because elections officials inevitably deem some invalid.

1. Well, I think this is emblematic of the GOP, that in the midst of a pandemic and a precarious

economy, this is what the GOP is working on in this state. To rational and empathetic people, the Republican platform has nothing to offer and everything to be repulsed by.

2. You are so right. There is so much governing to do and all they do is obstruct

and do things to get more power. They are not a governing organization.

4. I am a bit optimistic that the changing demographics of our state, making it more blue, will spike

attempts to have the GOP control it.

California’s population is diverse.
No race or ethnic group constitutes a majority of California’s population: 39% of state residents are Latino, 37% are white, 15% are Asian American, 6% are African American, 3% are multiracial, and fewer than 1% are American Indian or Pacific Islander, according to the 2018 American Community Survey. Latinos surpassed whites as the state’s single largest ethnic group in 2014.

5. They've been obstructing for so long

they have forgotten how to govern.

11. Governing means making it better for people. They don't want better.

They want the wild west with no middleclass and the educated elites so afraid of losing their position that their souls get corrupted and they vote republican. Meanwhile the GOP base votes for one racist or another. Basically everyone is voting out of one horrific emotion or another. No reason voting. The elites entrenched and not paying taxes.

3. With Jan 6, 2021 and republicans denying any wrong doings by shithole . .

combined to the Pandemic and what the Biden Administration is doing including COVID-19 relief and trying to turn around the economy and trying to keep people healthy, I'll say SUCK IT republicans.

Also, I read that McCarthy one of the main criticizers of Newsom for attending an event with no mask, ummmmmmmmmmmmm, his son got married and he himself wore no mask and had many quests.

7. McCarthy's criticism of Newsom is

that he is a Democrat. The French Laundry maskgate could’ve been anything. Instead of Laundry dining it could’ve been laundry soap ...

10. McCarthy attended his sons wedding in San Luis Obispo with more people than who were at the

French laundry restaurant.

12. I know, but hypocrisy is a thing that phases us

not them. Never gets in their way.

6. CA is solid blue.

The GQP is desperate. They must cheat, steal and lie to get anywhere and win anything.
