The Wise Man of American Politics


March 19, 2018 at 11:04 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

California Sunday Magazine: “Written off in his youth as a New Age dilettante, Brown now finds himself the wise man of American politics… On the defining issue of our time, climate change, he has assumed the mantle of alt-president, traveling to Europe and Asia, insisting the United States will not abandon its commitments.”

“He leads an unabashedly liberal state, whose high taxes, government activism, embrace of immigration, and thriving economy serve as a rebuke to the current occupant of the White House.”

“Yet he refuses to align himself with the anti-Trump resistance… He never has fit neatly into any camp, but never before has he commanded so much influence.”
