Gavin Newsom Calls Joe Biden “One of the Most Successful Presidents” Amid Questions About Credibility.

(ThyBlackMan.com) California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who leaped into 2028 Democrat presidential front-runner status in the wake of the passage of Proposition 50, recently said former President Joe Biden “was one of the most successful presidents in the last century.”

Newsom also expressed disdain for politicians who “lie.” Responding to a question about whether he intends to run for president, Newsom said: “(There’s) nothing I dislike more than a politician that sits there and lies to you. And we all just sit there rolling our eyes, going, ‘Give me a break.’”

For now, let’s put aside Newsom’s many lies and his assessment of Biden’s record. And, for now, let’s put aside Newsom’s record as governor of the state with average home prices twice that of the national average, the highest unemployment rate, the highest electricity prices in the continental U.S., the highest gas prices, the most homeless people, the highest unfunded government pensions liability and the state ranked by Chief Executive magazine as the worst in which to do business.

For a politician who professes to “hate” politicians who lie, obviously referring to President Donald Trump, Newsom ignores Biden’s shameful record of prevarications, big and small. This list, in no particular order, includes:

Biden was accused in law school of plagiarism. The New York Times wrote: “(Biden’s academic record) disclosed relatively poor grades in college and law school, mixed evaluations from teachers and details of the plagiarism.”

He said he received “three” college degrees and “went to law school on a full academic scholarship.” PolitiFact said not true.

Biden said he “went back to law school and in fact ended up in the top half of my class.” The AP reported: “But last week Biden released his law school records showing he had graduated 76th in a law school class of 85.”

Biden claims to have met his wife, Jill, on a blind date. The Washington Times, however, wrote: “Bill Stevenson, a prominent Delaware rock-venue owner who was married to Jill from 1970-76, has told media outlets that she met Mr. Biden during his 1972 campaign for Senate, before the accident, and that they later had an affair that broke up the Stevenson marriage.” The Bidens deny this.

Biden said, “For four years, I was a full professor at the University of Pennsylvania.” PolitiFact said, “Biden’s role involved panel discussions and other public appearances, but not classroom teaching.”

About Biden’s possession of classified documents, special counsel Robert Hur declined to press charges because a jury would likely view Biden as “an elderly man with a poor memory.” But CNN wrote, “Hur released a searing report Thursday that concluded President Joe Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified military and national security information …”
