California Gov. Gavin Newsom has leaned heavily into his supposed dyslexia in a failed attempt to connect with voters. In Newsom's mind, saying he's just as stupid as the rest of us is a winning campaign strategy; in reality, it's insulting. But we wonder if his dyslexia — coupled with his historical illiteracy — also means he can't read graphs, too.
Because while Newsom tried to blame President Trump for home prices skyrocketing, the graph he shared actually wrecked his entire argument. If you look at the graph, the big spike came during ... the Biden years.
Great work, @realDonaldTrump! https://t.co/89htQqPQCp

That's because Biden and Democrats not only passed the "Inflation Reduction Act" which was just a watered-down version of the Green New Deal that made inflation worse, but they let millions of unvetted illegal aliens invade the country, which forced up home prices and rent, too.
So someone is to blame for this, Gavin. And he's from your party.

Maybe highlighting this will help Newsom understand.

This is the same guy who said all the bad news coming out of California is nothing but lies by the "right-wing media," by the way. We call that "projection," ladies and gentlemen.
Hey @GavinNewsom, who was president during the biggest uptick in home unaffordability? https://t.co/vYjancsIlb pic.twitter.com/RoofYSWwup

We'd love to have someone ask him that question and watch him worm his way out of an answer.
It’s an interesting fact about Gavin Newsom that neither he nor anyone who works on his staff knows how to read graphs https://t.co/0uvIvZXVAW pic.twitter.com/WISaqToIbI

Newsom and his staff are not the brightest of bulbs.
2018. While campaigning, Newsom says that if the next Governor of CA doesn't fix the affordability crisis and homelessness issue, that Governor will have been a failure.

Both problems got substantially worse on his watch.

By his own metric, he's a failure. Of course, Newsom will not take responsibility for that. He'll lie, deflect, and blame Republicans even though Democrats have a supermajority in Sacramento.
