(6,623 posts)One of Newsoms points is to shame the creeps- the more of us using his own medicine to gag them the better.
That is my take on it. I observe a few groups where people share what they have created in kind - it is part of the humor.

(6,623 posts)now to pretend to be Newsom posting. Acceptable if it rhymes so to speak.
The idea is to blast the creeps into shutting up- hoping that it works somehow someway. And fast!

(60,880 posts)yesterday, and if it was a real post from Newsom there'd be multiple news stories about it by now.

(21,938 posts)I'm not saying I favor shaming or punishing the poster (he/she may very well have had the best of intentions), but there should be a mechanism where such posts are taken down.

(607 posts)I've heard about it but haven't seen anything describing the actual typo he supposedly made fun of. Was that another misinformation?

(60,880 posts)X user Vance Ulrich noted, Ive been following CA politics a long time, but I never realized the CA Legislature was a General Assembly. This is not North Carolina. Not sending their best!
Newsoms Press Office account reposted Ulrichs find, adding, When Trumps hand-picked hacks at DOJ cant tell California from North Carolina, you know the lawsuit is about as credible as Trumps I dont know Epstein line.
Both chambers of the North Carolina General Assembly approved a new congressional map last month ahead of next years midterm elections. It appeared the DOJ meant to say Californias State Assembly, which is the lower house of the California State Legislature.

(60,880 posts)the OP?
And if you did know it was fake, please explain why you posted it without making that clear. It's obvious from some of the replies and the number of recs that a lot of DUers assumed it was real and may have posted it elsewhere as something Nrwsom actually posted.
