My goal was to show the rest of the country what has happened to the home of Newsom, Pelosi, and Kamala Harris:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>If California offers a preview of where our country is headed, San Francisco offers an even starker warning. This is the part of our state where failed policies, radical politics, and public corruption are in their most advanced stage \u2013 and where residents are most rapidly fleeing<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Indeed, before he was Governor of California, Newsom was Mayor of San Francisco. Fittingly, it was during his \u2018Red State\u2019 tour last month, where he lectured other states on how to govern themselves, that Newsom\u2019s own home city reached the point of total collapse<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a rough week for Newsom. He just had to dismiss the $800 billion in payouts proposed by his own Reparations Commission, confirming what I said at the time and again recently on Meet the Press: the commission was a stunt to distract from his own failures.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, amidst Newsom\u2019s flailing attacks on our deficit reduction bill, we exposed his own\u00a0<em>default\u00a0<\/em>on an $18 billion federal loan California took out after Julie Su squandered billions to fraudsters. By Janet Yellin\u2019s definition, our Governor is a \u201cdeadbeat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Newsom\u2019s laughable attempt to blame the House GOP, not Biden, for the border crisis just became even more farcical. Moments ago, the House passed H.R. 2, the strongest border security bill in history \u2013 on the very day Biden ended Title 42 and unleashed historic chaos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.efundraisingconnections.com\/c\/KevinKileyCongressionalExploratoryCommittee\"><span class=\"has-inline-color\">Join the fight and support our citizens movement<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Original Article Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.electkevinkiley.com\/the-collapse-of-san-francisco\/\">The Collapse of San Francisco | Capitol Quagmire (electkevinkiley.com)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Kevin Kiley The original article can be read here.
