Newsom Calls on Democrats to Go On Offense

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) warned members of his party Saturday that the GOP is “winning right now” as that party controls the national conversation – arguing that Democrats’ failure to offer a “compelling alternative narrative” has put the “entire rights agenda” of the last half-century at risk, CNN reports.

Said Newsom: “These guys are ruthless on the other side… They dominate the most important thing in American politics today and that’s the narrative – facts become secondary to narrative. They dominate with illusion. And we are getting crushed. We are on the defense over and over again.”
