Allies to Gov. Gavin Newsom are working hard to link the ongoing recall efforts to last week's riots at the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to save a governor facing public fury over his handling of the pandemic.
Throughout the recall process, Newsom allies have worked to tie the recall to President Donald Trump — a politically toxic figure in California — and during a Tuesday press conference, California Democratic Party chair Rusty Hicks and other state Democrats went as far to call the recall a "California coup."
Newly elected San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria also spoke at the press conference and said the recall is similar to the Capitol riots since it seeks to "overturn a democratic election.
Congrats, kiddies: another word has completely lost its meaning thanks to our donkey overlords. From now on you can use the word "coup" for anything: stubbed toe, spilled milk, clogged toilet....
My username is DEBOONKED! It's DARK. And suggests INSURRECTION. I better not trespass into a government building and take a selfie or move a podium across the room, lest I be as bad as 9/11 terrorists.
