There are few Democratic politicians in America more willing to completely ignore the (inconvenient) facts on the ground than California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Newsom, who has never met a camera he didn’t like, is fond of completely passing the buck when it comes to self-made problems in his home state, such as the homeless crisis – which he routinely blames on President Trump and Republicans.

With that in mind, it shouldn’t be any surprise at all to find out that the governor, in a tweet posted on New Year’s Day, touted California’s “decade” of “accomplishments” in astonishingly tone-deaf comments:

Happy New Year! What an incredible decade. We’ve accomplished so much in CA by standing up for our values and taking on some of the biggest issues — from healthcare to gun violence to climate change.

Let’s keep it going.

Here’s to 2020 and the decade ahead!!

Yeah … no.

Twitter users were quick to give Gov. Hair Gel a quick reality check:

This is a good time to remind everyone TODAY starts the individual mandate in California

If you don't have health insurance, you'll be charged a $695 or 2% fine to be able to give "free" health care to people here illegally

Definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

Yes, do not forget the passage of Proposition 47 decriminalizing misdemeanor crimes creating general lawlessness. Let us not forget, San Francisco was ground zero for how to handle homelessness under your watch a model that is emulated across your state. @realDonaldTrump

If by accomplished you mean:

– Highest unemployment
– Highest homeless population
– Most welfare recipients
– Highest income tax
– Can’t keep the power on

Then yes, you’re right. Congratulations 🙄

California in 2019:

– dangerous, unprecedented black-outs

– homeless pop. increased 130,000 to 151,000

– homebuilding *declined* 20%

– 200k person exodus = first-ever loss of congressional seat

All the result of your failure to confront reality & show courage for a change. https://t.co/lPneTuErlr

Instead of standing up to the unions you helped them ban freelancers

Instead of taking responsibility for homeless crisis you helped create you blame Trump

Instead of governing you write juvenile tweets in a narcissistic run for president

At least Nero played the fiddle

Boom.

The govnah can run from the problems created by decades of Democratic rule in his state, but he cannot hide from them.
