The "State" Commieforina is now in because of the "blue wave" rolling in!!
Yeah ain't the "blue wave" grand...the deadly tsunami of failed liberal ideology. You confuse "stronghold" with "stranglehold"!!

Politifact isn’t exactly the type of fact checking organization that rushes
to defend Republicans or
to take Democrats to task, so that they decided to take Newsom to the woodshed is worth mentioning.
They did a detailed analysis of Newsom’s claims, and
found them to be sorely lacking. Here’s what they concluded in their ruling:
San Francisco’s own homeless surveys contradict this. They show a large majority reported living in the city before becoming homeless, and just a fraction coming in from out-of-state.
Newsom’s office pointed to data from San Francisco’s bus ticket program for homeless people. But that defense doesn’t hold up. It shows just a small fraction, less than 7 percent, left for Texas, and doesn’t demonstrate that they originally came to San Francisco from that state.
In the end, we found Newsom made a ridiculous claim.
We rated it Pants on Fire.
Just to put an even finer point on how duplicitous, self-serving, and shameless Newsom is on this issue, when asked about comments made by President Trump
in early July that the federal government may need to “intercede” in cities with large homeless problems, here’s
how Newsom responded:
“If interceding means cutting budgets to support services to get people off the street, (Trump has) been very successful in advancing those provisions,” the governor said. Instead, he argued, the president has been “decreasing the social safety net to address the reasons people are on streets and sidewalks in the first place.”
It’s similar to what he told Axios in June. In other words, Republicans are to blame for this crisis.
It’s baloney. The homeless issues the state of California (and not just in San Francisco but in other big cities like
Los Angeles, too) can in large part be laid at the feet of Democrats who have absolutely run the state into the ground, including Newsom.
Newsom was a member of the SF Board of Supervisors from January 8, 1997 to January 8, 2004. He was the Mayor of San Francisco from January 8, 2004 to January 10, 2011. He was the Lt. Gov. from January 10, 2011 to January 7, 2019.
That’s 22 years
he alone has had to commit to helping solve the homeless problem that exists in cities like San Francisco and L.A. Him trying to pin the homeless crisis there on Republicans is absurd, and just shows he’d rather conveniently pass the buck rather than take responsibility for his own leadership failures.
