    What specifically this article refers to is quoted from "We The Unhoused" Podcast which says:

    Brah, just because you don't think Newsom is a Democrat, doesn't mean he's not. He himself claims he's a democrat and that's what his political affiliation is.

    I never claimed he wasn't a Democrat, just that he's a piss poor example of one.

    the one thing that unites D and R is disdain of the homeless.
