He thinks he's pretty smooth doesn't he? He knows this whole thing is going to bite him in the ass hard in 2 years when he runs for president.
They ran commercials 24/7 on TV for the past 6 months about how he's in lock-step agreement with NOT ONLY democrats, but ALSO republicans in rejecting the billionaire tax bill for California. Somehow that was supposed to make it seem like this tax must be a really bad idea.
Instead it makes him look like the piece of shit we already know he is.
Now he wants to pivot and make it look like he's rejecting it in CA because it's just not doing ENOUGH. If we can do it NATIONALLY then it would really be worth it!
But of course he also knows it wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of happening nationally, and even if by some razor slim margin somehow it made it through the US congress, and if at that point he actually signed it into law (of course in his mind he's president by this time), the final backstop is the US Supreme Court which would strike it down anyway.
If it can't pass in CA, then it won't pass anywhere else, and he knows that.
Fuck gruesome Newsom. I say pass it in CA, and THEN do his national plan.
