Gavin Newsom sparked backlash at his Atlanta book event with Mayor Andre Dickens, saying: "I'm like you. I'm no better than you. I'm a 960 SAT guy... you've never seen me read a speech, because I cannot read a speech." In a black-majority setting, tying his low score and dyslexia to "relatability" hit many as condescending pandering. He and Dickens called it vulnerability, not racism—dismissing critics as MAGA outrage. 00:00 Intro00:51 My Reaction Get all our content ad-free on PragerU.com or download the PragerU app: https://l.prageru.com/45GvWlu Follow PragerU on social media: YouTube Instagram X/Twitter Facebook Rumble Follow Xaviaer: Instagram X/Twitter Facebook Learn more about your ad choices.
