'The Young Turks' host supports recall of Gov. Newsom

I stopped watching or carrying about these idiots a long time ago. This crap really pisses me off


?s=20
As the effort to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom heats up, support for his removal from office has come from an unlikely source, Ana Kasparian, the progressive host and executive producer of The Young Turks.

"I would not only like to recall Gavin Newsom, I think we should also focus a little bit on Eric Garcetti, who has been a complete and utter disaster in Los Angeles County," Kasparian told FOX 11’s Elex Michaelson during an appearance on The Issue Is.

As of February 3, some 1.4 million Californians have signed the petition to recall Newsom. Organizers of the effort have until March 10 to collect the roughly 1.5 million signatures required to place a recall on the ballot.

Those numbers in support of a recall vote come the same week a UC Berkeley poll found support for the embattled Governor has fallen 18% in the past four months, from 64% in September to 46% Friday.

"I’m a native Angeleno, I was born and raised in California, I love my state, I love the people in this state," Kasparian said, "but it is an absolute wasteland right now. Every freeway bridge is full of people living in tents. There’s excrement on the sidewalks. It’s unsafe. Crime has gone up. And when it comes to coronavirus, the fish rots from the head down.

Please vote no on question one and get your ballot n

Is always a good thing. While they are at it, maybe they can find a Bernie acolyte to run against Joe Manchin in West Virginia, we need another Republican in the Senate thus throwing control back to Mc Connell.

What the fuck.

and look who is doing the reporting, Fox. And look at the impression it is trying to make it seem like the hip TYT want's Gavin out.

That is the message going around.

And for the record even at that date the remark was stupid and I'm not a TYT fan but, being provocative is their game.

Just knowing that she supports a recall of a Dem KNOWING the history of this state makes her a damn fool.

IF she wants Newsom out and someone like tRump/DeathSentence/Elder in there running this state who don't care if they murder people, she's not being provocative, she's being like I said, a got damn FOOL.

DeathSentence and Abbott are effectively murdering people in their states of death. GQP governors don't care if people die from Covid-19, delta or whatever variant is out there. You can't be anything but a got damn fool if you want to play chicken with a state this big and with these many people in it run by a self-hating fool who pulled a gun on his ex like Elder whose self-hating ass is against mask mandates, abortion under any circumstance, against a minimum wage, and said that George Floyd and Treyvon Martin were responsible for their own deaths. I guess every black person whose murdered by police is responsible for their own deaths too.

IF she still feels the way she felt when she looked like an idiot taping that and STILL wants Newsom out knowing what self-hating, racist Elder would do to this state, she's more than a damn fool. She needs her behind kicked.

show named after those who committed genocide, "the Young Turks," who early on thought the way to get ahead was to come on to every Sirius radio show that would have her to discuss in the crudest and most cringe-worthy detail her sexual proclivities with every celebrity name she could think to drop.

Now she wants to enable Trumpism in California--all in the name of garnering herself the notoriety she seeks with her supposed "progressive purity."

I detest Ceng, but she disgusts me as much or more.

... you remember him, right? He's the one who defended bestiality (ie: sex with horses) by saying it's okay as long as the animal abuser makes sure that the horse is sexually satisfied too.

He's disgusting.
