Recall Gavin Newsom and save the whole country

Over the first five months of the campaign to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom, activists only managed to collect 55,000 signatures. But within just two months of Newsom being photographed dining with lobbyists at the exclusive French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley, activists had a million signatures.

The photos of Newsom — he was dining maskless while the surrounding county was under lockdown orders limiting indoor dining — cemented an already growing perception in the state that Newsom has one set of rules for himself and his rich Hollywood and Silicon Valley friends and another set for hard-working Californians.
