Larry Elder is worse than we think. He blames the fires on Gavin Newsom not climate change

Sorry, but the video is within a Tweet.

It's a 3 minute video. If you are wondering what Elder stands for.

NEW: Meet Larry Elder, the right-wing Trump ally who's set to be governor of California if the GOP-led recall of @GavinNewsom is successful.

He's militantly anti-choice, thinks the minimum wage should be $0, and promotes anti-vaxxers.

should over 50% of voters vote to recall.

24 Republican
9 Democrat
10 "No Party Preference"
2 Green Party
1 Libertarian

Elder, Caitlyn Jenner, and former candidate for governor Cox have the most name recognition among the Republicans.

Democrats didn't run a strong alternative to Newsom, for obvious but risky reasons. A 29-year-old with some mild name recognition from his financial advice videos on YouTube is running himself but trailing Elder by 10 points or so.

A situation worthy of these insane times when a depraved orange clown could actually run for president, although of course it couldn't possibly happen. Except that Republicans are as usual aggressively hostile and more motivated to vote and Democrats are as usual more complacent.
