Villanueva’s departure from the Democratic Get together mustn’t come as a complete shock, contemplating his X feed is stuffed with posts lambasting the California Governor Gavin Newsom, LA Mayor Karen Bass, his successor as LA County Sheriff Robert Luna, and lots of extra leftists.
If Republicans hope to make California aggressive once more, extra average Democrats might want to smart up and notice that their get together has gone fully off the deep finish. Let’s hope Villanueva’s change is just the beginning.
