Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition. On this Wednesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom has a book out, so he's running around giving interviews trying to market it. For a guy like Newsom who has enemies, this is not an easy thing. Speaking to a black interviewer in Atlanta, Newsom tried to make the point that he was no genius as a kid. He pointed to his low SAT scores saying they indicate that he is, quote, just like you.

Uh-oh. Because the show host is black, the governor was immediately accused of being racist. A cheap insult usually made against conservatives by liberals. But this time, it was vice versa. The R word often used to demonize. its target, perhaps, cancel the person. Obviously, the ultra-liberal Newsom does not want to insult black Americans. His intent was to portray himself as a regular guy who eventually made it. Doesn't matter, Newsom was pounded. There are far better ways to dissent from Governor Newsom's

agenda than to tag him with a dishonest label. His record in California, is certainly up for scrutiny. But peddling hatred is much easier than honest analysis, as Gavin Newsom has learned the hard way. Back in a moment.
