Here’s a Truly Horrible Democrat

Gavin Newsom makes Jared Polis look like J.B. Pritzker:
Gov. Gavin Newsom will call Wednesday for California to scale back health care for undocumented immigrants to help balance the state budget, retrenching on his desire to deliver “universal health care for all.”
The move comes days after the Trump administration targeted a different state-funded program for immigrants in California and signaled that it would continue to scrutinize benefits for undocumented individuals.
In a budget presentation on Wednesday, Mr. Newsom will propose freezing enrollment of undocumented adults in the state’s version of Medicaid, known as Medi-Cal, as soon as January. He also will seek to charge those who remain in the program $100 a month beginning in 2027. The governor estimates that the changes combined would save the state $5.4 billion by fiscal year 2028-29.
The cuts come as the Trump administration is using its federal powers to pressure Democratic-led states to eliminate benefits for undocumented immigrants. As she targeted a California cash aid program, Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security secretary, said Monday, “If you are an illegal immigrant, you should leave now. The gravy train is over.”
I’m trying to figure out Newsom’s brain here, though good luck trying to figure out anyone who was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle. I guess he thinks the way to win a Democratic primary is to hate immigrants. But the thing here is that this isn’t going to work for him in a primary or a general. It will just disgust Democratic primary voters who care enough about immigration either way. Those who truly hate immigrants? They are already voting for Republicans. It might be one thing if Newsom offered Democratic voters some other stuff so that they might forgive him his anti-immigrant policies, but what would that possibly be? His hair? But hey, at least some Mexican kids can die now for the higher good of Newsom’s political ambitions.
