Gavin Newsom is one of the most shameless and opportunistic politicians to have ever held political office. Given the stiff competition, that's quite an achievement.

But here he is -- once again -- proving how fundamentally smarmy and dishonest he truly is:

You'll be not shocked to learn, dear readers, that the actual story is far different.

The man arrested is Isaiah Martin, a candidate for Congressional District 18. Martin attended a redistricting hearing at the Texas Capitol, where he refused to yield the floor after his allotted speaking time and had to be escorted from the room.

Like other Democrats, including Cory 'Spartacus' Booker and Alex 'Jose' Padilla, Martin was doing this for the political performative aspect. He wanted to get arrested so that his arrest would be the story and the Left could use it to attack Trump.

As Gavin Newsom is doing.

Yeah, Gavin has no leg to stand on here. He hates our freedom and made that VERY clear during COVID.

Once again, Democrats pick the worst possible person and situation as their latest cause du jour. And -- once again -- it'll backfire.

So weird.

PRIORITIES, Jen.

This writer suspects Gavin wouldn't take kindly to that.

There's no chance Gavin would let you rant against him.

And there's no chance he'll resign. He's got his eyes on the Oval Office.

That's (D)ifferent.

Correct.

Gee, Gavin Newsom is a hypocrite?

You don't say.

He's so bad at this.

He approved of parents getting dragged out of school board meetings. That's the difference.

Oh, look: Joe Biden was the fascist Gavin claims Donald Trump is.

And no one is above the law, Gavin.

Answer that question, Gavin. South Park was merciless in their mockery of Trump in a recent episode, and they just secured a $1.5 billion
