Carlos Curbelo: Los Angeles Riots Are Really ‘Gavin Newsom Moment’

EXCERPT:

CURBELO: "Yeah, Willie, I think this is really a Gavin Newsom's moment, right? And I think he has handled it with sobriety. I think he's trying to control the narrative. It's very difficult when you're competing with some of the images that keep getting replayed on the news. And a lot of this is newsworthy. I mean, when people are assaulting federal government agents, that is a big deal and that should be covered. And every network has covered it. Now, of course, there's some exaggerations in terms of how widespread this is, how violent it is. And that's what Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are having to contend with. But I really do think what Newsom is trying to do here is to win the middle of the country.”
