21. Newsom overdoes an annoying gesture

Watch him in an interview when he explains something. He does an artificial gesture with wrists together but hands & fingers pointing out. It is very noticeable because he does it so much. It's equivalent to Trump's "accordion" that is much ridiculed, and it will no doubt be used against him. He would be well advised to lose it.
