Villanueva’s departure from the Democratic Celebration shouldn’t come as a complete shock, contemplating his X feed is filled 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 reasonable Democrats might want to sensible up and notice that their celebration has gone utterly off the deep finish. Let’s hope Villanueva’s swap is simply the beginning.
