The first line in the lawsuit reads, “Race cannot be used as a proxy to advance political interests, but that is precisely what the California General Assembly did with Proposition 50.”

X user Vance Ulrich noted, “I’ve 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!”

Newsom’s Press Office account reposted Ulrich’s find, adding, “When Trump’s hand-picked hacks at DOJ can’t tell California from North Carolina, you know the lawsuit is about as credible as Trump’s ‘I don’t know Epstein’ line.”

Both chambers of the North Carolina General Assembly approved a new congressional map last month ahead of next year’s midterm elections. It appeared the DOJ meant to say California’s State Assembly, which is the lower house of the California State Legislature.

Yes, I knew that when I saw it. But it is funny. niyad Nov 2025 #17

So what? It's presented as a real quote, probably most of the recs are from people assuming it's real, highplainsdem Nov 2025 #18

It is humor Tumbulu Nov 2025 #31

the OP claimed Newsom actually posted it, look at the comments of many in the thread who think he DID post it. Celerity Nov 2025 #32

Another fake quote, you really to vet your OPs before posting. It is such a bad look for the board this has 132 recs. Celerity Nov 2025 #14
