Newsom criticised for praising Ronald Reagan, who 'facilitated mass AIDS death'
Gavin Newsom is being criticised for posting a Ronald Reagan quote, whose administration's silence on HIV/AIDS led to thousands of deaths.
You're viewing a single thread.
Yet again, lemmy refuses to even try and acknowledge the point of the statement and instead manufactures typical outrage over nothing, and judging by the comments- clearly no one even read the article.
This absolute shit-tier example of garbage journalism states he “praised” Regan, where all he did was quote him. And the quote is entirely irrelevant to the outrage bullshit that the article claims.
By the way- this is exactly the type of shit that MAGA knows will piss you all off enough to not vote for him. So, be prepared to see a lot more of this shared here.
Trump couldn’t pay enough for this kind of help.
Look, if the only candidates the Democrats can put forward are people who don't give all that much of a damn about human beings dying... Yeah, I dunno.
Suggesting that a Republican that killed a bunch of people had the right idea about national pride and unity is just terrible. Normal, but terrible. There are a billion quotes about unity from much better people. Why Reagan?
I can't vote for another Democrat who thinks human lives are something to be brushed under the rug. I did it once, but I'm not doing it again. Not after I've seen just how dedicated they are to sticking to that.

Well, then, along with him having kind words for Reagan, you probably wouldn't approve of Newsom's persecution of homeless people when he was mayor of SF either.
I didn't know about that specifically, but I might as well have assumed.
Lmao…. K.
As someone who has lived in California for decades, fuck Newsom and anyone that supports him. He has always been rightist neoliberal scum. If he runs for anything he needs to be ruthlessly crushed in primary long before we reach another two-party false-binary “lesser evil” compromise yet again.
neoliberal
The free-market capitalism variant of right-wing libertarianism? That's news.
LMAO…. Okay, enjoy more MAGA.
It's not a binary choice.
Yeah but they pretend it is, like they pretend everyone who doesn't suck the cock of Zionist rich assholes in blue flavor supports the Zionist rich assholes in red flavor.
