the California 2035 zero emissions vehicle sales mandate came from the hypocrite governor who needs at least 3 SUVs (at taxpayers expense) to motorcade about (on the taxpayers gas card). Not just one for him, but a couple extra for the groupies who need to hang around and contribute nothing (Thanks Marc!)

Does this look like anybody who is bothered about riding in the luxury gas guzzler, with a couple more  Suburbans along, with a police escort too, of course - in a motorcade of admin assistants to smooth out his scheduled appearances? 

Keep in mind, Newsom has been riding about in taxpayer funded luxury for well over a decade

Newsom began his political career in 1996 fundraising for San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown who then appointed him to serve on the city's Parking and Traffic Commission

He was the lieutenant governor of California from 2011 to 2019 and as the mayor of San Francisco from 2004 to 2011.

He's related to Nancy Pelosi

Lest we be too rush to judgement, the more recent of his suvs might be hybrid after all. 

Though, that causes me to wonder how many times he has been driven about in an SUV that exceeds the weight limit of the street or bridges on his way from photo op to press conference 

It turns out every big SUV and pickup is too heavy for a 3 tom limit street or bridge. 

By weighing in at more than 6,000 pounds, big SUVs are prohibited on thousands of miles of road in California. Cities across the state—including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Santa Monica—use the 3-ton cutoff for many or nearly all of their residential streets.

Here’s just a sampling: The Chevy Suburban and Tahoe, the GMC Yukon, and the Lincoln Navigator,  all have a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 6,000 pounds per the  manufacturer’s specs for these vehicles.

This allows these motorcade vehicles to ignore the smog laws place on vehicles 6000 pounds and under

As for being a hypocrite, it's more than just on the issue of vehicles, in 2007, it came to light that Newsom had an affair with the wife of his campaign manager and best friend.

Being a politician you must advocate for law abiding, right? But who cheats on his wife, with his best friend's wife? 

That's just slimy, like most politicians. 

Newsom’s ex-wife, Kimberly Guilfoyle, who works for Trump’s campaign and is dating his eldest son, like she doesn't latch onto the man most likely to be a president in the future, you know?
