California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in an interview published Monday said the Republican Party is headed for the “waste bin of history.”
In an interview with Politico, Newsom compared national Republicans to the GOP in California in the 1990s.
California Republicans were once a force, but have seen their power disappear over the last two decades.
Washington Republicans will "go the same direction — into the waste bin of history, the way Republicans of the '90s have gone. That’s exactly what will happen to this crop of national Republicans,” Newsom told Politico.
Former California Gov. Pete Wilson's (R) push for a ballot measure in 1994 that prohibited illegal immigrants from gaining access to public schools and health care has been widely linked to the GOP's erosion in the state.
Newson drew a connection between that and today's politics.
“America in 2019 is California in the 1990s,” he told Politico. “The xenophobia, the nativism, the fear of ‘the other.’ Scapegoating. Talking down or past people. The hysteria. And so, we’re not going to put up with that. We are going to push back.”
Newsom also took several shots at President Trump, though he stopped short of calling for impeachment proceedings to begin. He instead voiced his support for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a longtime friend and fellow San Franciscan.
“What’s so remarkable about someone with the experience and temperament of Speaker Pelosi is that she’s seen a lot of movies,’’ Newsom said. “She’s been there. She’s got a better sense than a lot of folks. So I think we should stay the course. What we’re doing is working ... I think Democrats are winning right now.”

(Note: this state CAN be flipped RED or at least purple if conservatives would get their act together...and if more people run as Independents, who actually make up the fastest growing voting bloc - more than D's.)
Sure it is. CW2 is coming.
So says the puke Democrat who is leading his state into Third World status.
And despite the very mediocre job he did, Governator Arnold did have an ‘R’ next to his name...
Not that long ago...
You currently live in a waste bin of you own making, adulterer Newsom.
With massive voter fraud and demographic replacement...
He is correct.
You go, Gavin. These national Republican are just jersey fetishists who are on the express.
He kind of has a point. If they don’t rally behind Trump 100%, then the republican’ts will cease to exist as a party.
No other state has the homeless, needles & poop on the streets as Liberal Nirvana California. It’s already in the dustbin under lunatic liberal leadership.
Hey Gavin, now who’s throwing stones? Are you rejecting Mrs. Obama’s idea of ‘going high’? And no, I don’t mean with Panama Red.
He is correct, he is building a turd world marxist sit hole
I was a California Republican (an actual real one). I left that corrupt state a decade ago. Makes me ill to even visit relatives there. Everyone who values their family should be trying to escape it. I know it’s hard but you don’t want your family line corrupted by the brainwashing of it’s failing schools and far left homophilia.
I will rally around Trump but unless the Republican party acts like the conservative party they are supposed to be acting like, then what happens will be earned. The Dems are already in the toilet bowl so I guess it’s time they are flushed.
He instead voiced his support for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a longtime friend and fellow San Franciscan.
= = =
He meant Aunt Nancy.
The sheer joy of seeing the US turn into the craphole that CA has become must be just delicious to slobbering leftists.
If we go fifty years into the future, is the country going to be fundamentally different in a far, FAR worse way as a result of Leftist policies, or will it be that way due to conservative policies?
I think we already have proof of what the Leftist policies will wreak in the form of big cities run by the left, and countries like the Soviet Union, Venezuela, and Cuba.
Granted, if that comes to pass, they will, of course, write the history to their tastes, which is what they do anyway.
This is the governor who stopped at his mom’s house to give her a fatal overdose of medicine after he had previously been too busy to drop in for more wholesome purposes. I have an idea who is headed for the dustbin.
Who turned San Francisco, from what was once one of the most beautiful cities in the world, into a giant, stinking toilet, huh Mr. Newsom? I didn’t see any R’s by the names of the mayors and city council members the last thirty years there!
California is headed to the waste bin of Humanity.
