California Governor Gavin Newsom did not pull punches as he castigated Democrats for severe messaging problems.

MSNBC’s Alex Wagner pointed out that Republicans have a well-oiled messaging machine that Democrats could only dream of now. She highlighted a different kind of Democrat, an in-your-face Democrat.
Right after the Dobbs decision leak, Newsom started the attack by calling out the Democratic Party.
“Where is the Democratic Party,” Newsom asked. “Where is the Party? Why aren’t we standing up more firmly, more resolutely? Why aren’t we calling this out?”
Newsom pointed out something most Progressives are well aware of, Democrats have a messaging problem. He said that of the top 10 states with the highest murder rates, all are Republican states.
“How do Democrats not know that?” Newsom asked. “In fact, it really is nine out of ten because Georgia went for Biden. But it is really a red state. Eight out of ten, and we are losing that message? Crime is higher, as well as taxes when you look at the average of the citizens of Texas. It’s higher. Crime is higher, violent crime; property crime than in the state of California. Sixty-seven percent higher gun death rate in Texas. Why don’t we push back?
Gavin Newsom said the reason he is putting out billboards and advertising around the country, among other things to take it to them. He said Democrats must rebuild the party with a more comprehensive message.
Newsom is absolutely right. Please listen to the entire segment.
