Gavin Newsom low SAT remark to a black audience draws backlash [View all] Wanderlust988 Monday OP

Backlash from who? marble falls Monday #1

Black people. Not exactly the best way to 'relate' to black people. Wanderlust988 Monday #3

All black people, and only black people??? marble falls Monday #6

Not a good try obamanut2012 Monday #47

It's bullshit that the New York Post posted. Maraya1969 Monday #52

Video links are like other links Renew Deal Monday #2

Sorry, just literally search in Google, Bsky, X, etc. Wanderlust988 Monday #4

Thanks for clarifying n/t Just_Vote_Dem Monday #51

After 10 years of Trump newdeal2 Monday #7

You have that backward Bok_Tukalo Monday #9

Is that a true gaffe? He just stated how he feels. It wasn't a 'mistake' kinda gaffe. Wanderlust988 Monday #12

Yes and we beat ourselves up about this newdeal2 Monday #18

True. Too often, Democrats eat their own. One stupid slip and they're out. thought crime Monday #87

That is not what he said in the video that's on this thread. wnylib Monday #25

Is that actually what he said? yardwork Monday #80

No it's not. See post #28. Wiz Imp Monday #90

He basically said Mossfern Yesterday #131

He did not say he can't read like black people Wiz Imp Monday #92

This is the full quote - doesn't sound offensive to me? walkingman Monday #8

I don't see an issue with what he said either. It's been spun to try to hurt him. chowder66 Monday #73

You all on DU can say it's a nothingburger, but it's all over black social media... FWIW. Wanderlust988 Monday #74

"You all on DU" ??? The attack on Newsom over his remarks walkingman Monday #78

Creative assertions. Torchlight Monday #81

"You all on DU"? orangecrush Monday #84

He neither talked about low SAT scores nor said he "can't read like black people" Wiz Imp Monday #91

Wow. Good job doing MAGA's work for them Wiz Imp Monday #93

So were Biden's various comments and yet... W_HAMILTON Monday #114

Your concern is noted. Swede Yesterday #119

Yes - and what are we saying on JustAnotherGen Yesterday #128

And? BannonsLiver Yesterday #130

That is not what he said Mossfern Yesterday #132

One of the quotes on that post summed this whole "waste of time debate" up succinctly wolfie001 Monday #76

What is a "Black Audience?" yardwork Monday #82

I assume an audience that is predominately Black. walkingman Monday #83

I've never seen Audience capitalized like that before. yardwork Monday #89

Interesting question - I looked it up... walkingman Monday #107

Here's a brief glimpse of the crowd EYESORE 9001 Monday #10

I seriously doubt he meant it in the way the press and the social media addicts will try to exploit it. If he decides lostincalifornia Monday #11

Precisely Mysterian Monday #14

What is the misquote? Wanderlust988 Monday #16

Read your own links much? Mysterian Monday #56

See post #28 Wiz Imp Monday #94

Uhhhh....thats exactly what he said. Melon Monday #19

Wrong. Leaves out most of what he said. Wiz Imp Monday #28

Oh wow leftstreet Monday #32

BOT those words are there! He said them! He also said "I like you! I want to date you!" Scrivener7 Monday #96

So this is a nothingburger MustLoveBeagles Monday #106

Omission of relevant context seems dishonest at best. Torchlight Monday #30

It's not just context. That supposed "exact" quote edits out a bunch of words in between each sentence. Wiz Imp Monday #36

Newsom can't afford to turn off Black people, unlike Trump. Wanderlust988 Monday #15

I am not referring to anyone HERE at DU, but talking generally about the voting public. I have doubts he could win lostincalifornia Monday #39

Should we give up? Kingofalldems Monday #41

I can understand your sensitivity but I honestly think you are reading too much into it. ☮ walkingman Monday #79

Your OP is a complete lie. You are fully aware it is a lie. And yet you still don't delete it. Scrivener7 Yesterday #117

"The wisdom of the American populace never fails to underwhelm me." 3catwoman3 Monday #60

He was misquoted - true - but there are better ways to convey what he wanted to say. harumph Monday #17

How was he misquoted? Melon Monday #20

See Post 28. Extremely selectively edited. Wiz Imp Monday #29

Not misquoted. The whole thing was made up. What he said Scrivener7 Yesterday #116

I'd have trouble supporting someone who scored 960 on his SAT. We need our brightest in leadership Dave says Monday #21

I'm still figuring out why he thinks it's such a flex that he scored a 960? Wanderlust988 Monday #23

I'm still figuring out why supposed Democrats amplify items from the RWNJ aligned media fever swamp. BannonsLiver Monday #65

Yes, the SAT scores of a dyslexic are super important. Never mind policies or years of success. Whyisthisstillclose Monday #31

"I'd have trouble" is not the same thing as "super important" Dave says Monday #34

Oh wow, 1500. How was your presidency? BannonsLiver Monday #38

I lack the charisma Dave says Monday #40

Sounds serious Torchlight Monday #58

It may not be a sign of how intelligent he is. usedtobedemgurl Monday #75

And it turns out it was mostly a rightwing smear Dave says Monday #112

Not mostly. Entirely. No resemblance to the truth. Scrivener7 Yesterday #115

Here's another link for you. It's important to get the the background for context of the comment ... marble falls Monday #22

He was not speaking to white people. He speaking to a black audience. Wanderlust988 Monday #24

It was a mixed race audience. Swede Monday #55

100% wrong. The video shows the audience was majority white. Wiz Imp Monday #95

Here's what he said: Scrivener7 Monday #113

George Carlin quote comes to mind MichMan Monday #57

In fairness, that quote was blind. usonian Monday #26

Oh, ffs. Clumsy, yes. Awkward, yes. Racist? Take a fucking pill. Whyisthisstillclose Monday #27

Why did he feel compelled to say that at all? What was the point? CTyankee Monday #33

Wiz Imp has the actual quote. Newsom didn't say anything like that. Scrivener7 Monday #102

960/2400?? MenloParque Monday #35

Nah, they changed it to 2400 back in 2005 Sympthsical Monday #42

You have it completely backwards Wiz Imp Monday #97

Total nothingburger as usual. BannonsLiver Monday #37

Not a good try there. Kingofalldems Monday #43

It never is. And yet he perseveres. Gotta give him that, I guess. Scrivener7 Monday #62

This is a bullshit hit job on Newsom. You should delete this fabricated attack JoseBalow Monday #44

It wasn't a "black audience" obamanut2012 Monday #46

I hope you'll take the time to read his message in full Torchlight Monday #48

A Democrat admits dyslexia -- uh oh, can someone who can't read be bashed as an out-of-touch elite? WORLDS COLLIDE. betsuni Monday #53

Yikes! OC375 Monday #54

Highly misleading Cirsium Monday #59

Have you gotten over the horrors of AOC saying "um" a few times in her speech last week? Scrivener7 Monday #61

Uh oh. That's bad. ananda Monday #63

Can you say that again, only more directly. BannonsLiver Monday #67

LOL. ananda Monday #85

The "exact" quote he posted is not close to his real statement. Wiz Imp Monday #98

OK, I see. ananda Monday #101

Is he a pedophile? Aviation Pro Monday #66

That is only a requirement for being a republican, or so it seems so, the way they go out of their way to cover for the lostincalifornia Monday #69

Identity-blindness, identity-deafness, and identity-muteness. gulliver Monday #68

This is an extremely upsetting story Sympthsical Monday #70

Watched the video and this is a made up outrage. Pisces Monday #71

. MorbidButterflyTat Monday #72

Tempest in a teapot wolfie001 Monday #77

Also a bare-faced lie. Here's the actual quote: Scrivener7 Monday #105

Why make an assumption about the audience's SAT score in the first place? fujiyamasan Monday #86

It was NOT a predominately black audience. Wiz Imp Monday #99

And he didn't say anything like what the OP is saying he said. Wiz Imp has the actual quote in his post above. Scrivener7 Monday #104

Yikes but skimming the comments ecstatic Monday #88

The OP's quote was close to being entirely made up. Wiz Imp Monday #103

I thought these 'bad things about Democrats' posts were over. Kingofalldems Monday #108

Can you believe the gall of these people to create a complete and provable lie and think no one will notice? Scrivener7 Monday #111

Well, Gavin's just this guy, you know? GJGCA Monday #110

Except he did not do what the OP is claiming obamanut2012 Yesterday #133

I heard the audience laughing... Karma13612 Yesterday #118

Clearly a lot of people Boo1 Yesterday #120

I have a mild case of dyslexia PCB66 Yesterday #121
