When posted this linked to a @nxthompson tweet citing the Novicoff/Chait Atlantic article (https://t.co/dxx5D3Wbvk) and fearing it might be true (about Newsom’s heavy policy baggage). That tweet has now been taken down. Weird. Why? Not like @nxthompson. https://t.co/wZ6dTodaas

Newsom’s record is borderline unelectably liberal, but he’s also shown incompetence in preparing his state for destructive fires. On the other hand, he also has appalling character https://t.co/AzvhoZmx9v and an annoying, smug, personality. https://t.co/1fWD9RJJZI

Scott certainly doesn’t want the MSM to start building him up as the persecuted voice for moderation. Any strange new respect would be the kiss of death with Trump, no?

One big happy family over at DHS. Hard to tell from this who is right without knowing more about Scott’s policy arguments with Noemendowski–was he objecting to gratuitous Bovino machismo or just moving too slow? Is Noem too into building a personal brand (almost certainly yes). https://t.co/4QpA1wPWNW
