Leftist celebrity crackpots warn that replacing failed Gov. Gavin Newsom with libertarian Larry Elder in next week’s recall election would mean the end of civilization.
Ron Perlman delivered an unhinged rant on Twitter that compared the GOP to Islamic terrorists, while has-been Rosanna Arquette said Elder would end life as we know it. Ill-tempered Alec Baldwin called Elder a “dangerous idiot.” Even if Elder is a “dangerous idiot,” he’s almost certainly smarter than Baldwin, Arquette, and Perlman.
That said, some celebrities such as Dean Cain and Chuck Norris support the only challenger with a chance to beat the leftist Newsom.
Why The Recall
Elder’s angry opponents are, apparently, oblivious to the damage Newsom has done to the state, a GOP stronghold before a cultural shift and unchecked immigration turned it blue.
Among other things, a pro-recall website avers, a state agency “sent over $30 billion in fraudulent checks to prison inmates and other criminals.”
Newsom gave “millions of dollars in no-bid contracts to businesses that pay his wife a six-figure salary, a practice that government watchdogs called a clear conflict of interest.”
After telling Californians to stay home and quarantine because of COVID-19, Newsom partied with a mask at an expensive restaurant.
Two other items drive the point home:
- Gavin Newsom agreed to a secretive nearly one-billion-dollar state contract to produce face masks with a politically connected Chinese company. A head of the company had donated tens of thousands of dollars to Newsom’s campaign. Without the legislature knowing, the company was wired half a million dollars.
- Governor Newsom ordered ten-percent pay cuts for state workers because of the pandemic. Newsom promised to reduce his own pay, but broke his promise and continued to collect his full monthly salary.
None of this matters to Hollywood leftists.
“Vote NO on the upcoming recall vote,” Perlman fumed on Twitter. “PS – f**k you, GOP.”
The disheveled actor then likened the GOP to ISIS, the Islamic terror outfit, opining that Republicans would “turn the clock back” to the 16th or 17th centuries. He was quite exercised about Texas’ new abortion ban. The Sons of Anarchy star laced his disjointed, bizarre rant with multiple F-bombs.
Then came Alec Baldwin, well known for his out-of-control temper. “Larry Elder is a dangerous idiot,” he tweeted:
And I mean Trump level dangerous. Vote NO on the recall
Of the two, Baldwin is the fellow repeatedly arrested for cursing and throwing punches at anyone who gets in his way. Baldwin did not say whether he plans to punch any Elder supporters if he beats Newsom.
“Vote no on the California recall our lives literally Do depend on it,” Arquette tweeted. How the pro-gay marriage Elder would threaten anyone’s life, she didn’t say.
Backing Elder
Last week, Newsweek published a relatively positive report about Elder’s Hollywood backers. Supporters include Hanoi Hilton director Lionel Chetwynd, the libertarian candidate’s campaign chief.
Clint Eastwood is reportedly backing Elder, as are Cain and Norris.
“I’m hoping @larryelder becomes our new Governor of California,” Cain tweeted:
@GavinNewsom is so scared of @larryelder + this #RecallGavinNewsom election, he has television ads from @ewarren @BernieSanders and soon visits from @KamalaHarris and @JoeBiden to support him.
If that’s your support system, CALIFORNIA DOESN’T WANT YOU.
“Newsom’s extreme COVID crackdowns and radical liberal politics have crippled [California’s] economy, suppressed its people, increased homelessness and violence, and have led to a mass exodus of its citizens to other states in the union,” Norris wrote in his column at World Net Daily:
Newsom even stampeded the First Amendment to completely suppress religious rights and liberties, a tyranny the U.S. Supreme Court needed to turn back twice to rescue the state’s people. And with the potential rise of the Delta variant of COVID-19, it appears Newsom is going to be enacting more of the same in the future, unless of course he’s stopped. …
Golden State voters, I’m convinced Larry Elder is your man. If given a chance, he can deliver California and Californians out of Newsom’s pit. Elder has the knowledge. He has the experience. He is uniquely qualified. He has the proven grit, drive, compassion, and leadership abilities.
Hercules actor Kevin Sorbo is backing Elder, along with comedian Adam Carolla. “I support Larry Elder because he’s the antithesis of Gavin Newsom: Smart, pragmatic and not owned by the teacher’s unions,” Carolla told Newsweek.
