Newsom’s Real Reason for San Francisco Cleanup May Be Even More Cynical Than Previously Thought
San Francisco’s Cleanup for the APEC Summit: A Political Move by Gavin Newsom?
San Francisco is making headlines for finally addressing its homeless crisis and cleaning up the city ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. While it may seem like a PR move for the international event, progressive-turned-conservative commentator Dave Rubin suggests that Governor Gavin Newsom has bigger ambitions in mind.
Rubin appeared on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” and speculated that Newsom’s efforts to clean up San Francisco are part of a larger plan to position himself for a presidential run. “I mean I’m fairly certain Gavin Newsom is getting ready to run for president one way or another when they decide to push Joe Biden out,” Rubin said.
Newsom, a former mayor of San Francisco, has faced criticism for the city’s decline under his leadership. Rubin argues that Newsom’s desire to present a clean and prosperous San Francisco to the nation and the world is a strategic move to boost his political image.
However, the problems facing San Francisco are not unique to the city. Other major cities in California, such as Oakland and Los Angeles, are also grappling with issues like crime and homelessness. Newsom’s policies, which have been detrimental to the state, could potentially be implemented on a national scale if he were to become president.
As San Francisco prepares to host the APEC summit, the city’s efforts to clean up its streets and present a positive image may be seen as a calculated political move by Newsom. Whether or not his ambitions extend to the White House remains to be seen, but the consequences of his progressive policies are already evident in California.
Is Newsom going to run for president in 2024?
It might let the rest of America — the kind of NPR-loving liberals who live in nice safe suburbia — get an inkling of what happens when Democrats get full control.
So, with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit rolling into town, San Francisco has rolled up its streets, clearing out homeless tents and drug markets, as the New York Post reported Friday.
That wasn’t done for the benefit of San Franciscans, of course. The Democratic-dominated government has long since made clear it doesn’t give a damn about ordinary citizens.
It also wasn’t done simply for the benefit of the jet-setting summiteers and the millions of dollars they’re going to be pumping into the San Francisco economy.
It was done for the benefit of a national American audience — normal people who might be catching a glimpse of the APEC summit on the news or reading about it online and seeing images of San Francisco as it looks at its best, when almost any view of the city at any point is almost heart-breakingly beautiful.
And, ultimately, it was done for the benefit of Gavin Newsom, a man whose magazine-ad good looks, sculpted hair, and ruling-class hypocrisy make a virtual caricature of West Coast, left-wing politics.
Newsom has said all the right things for an ambitious Democrat with a doddering Democrat in the Oval Office — pledging his support for President Joe Biden while Biden runs for re-election. But his public actions speak louder, and making sure San Francisco is prettied up for its time in the spotlight might even have been the biggest hint yet that Newsom is aiming for the White House.
The Joe Biden presidency is already a disaster. If Rubin is right, what’s waiting in the wings is worse.
