“You people” on steroids

The most interesting thing about this is how one Magtard account known for passing on disinformation can doubly misquote him and lie about the setting and the entire right wing runs with it. Then when the errors are pointed out, they immediately go into ‘it’s fake but accurate’ mode. With rare but honorable exceptions such as Rufo.

You’ve yet to admit the obvious, that the words as spoken were condescending. It would be inconceivable to say them to a room of MIT students, or a room of white collar professionals. Again, obvious, and again, something you're incapable of admitting. While you call everybody on the other side "dishonorable".
Newsom’s intention was for the appearance to be black outreach. That is undeniable from the fact it was hosted at a majority black college. He had no control over who bought tickets, but it was probably the blackest audience he’s had just the same.

More kudos to Rufo here, pushing back on yet another major magtard account.
It was an unequivocally black context, if you listen to the interview and consider the venue. Newsom was in "talking to black people" mode, and that was the intention of choosing that venue, regardless of how many white faces ended up buying tickets.

Say what you like about Trump, he doesn't discriminate. He talks to everyone as if they're an abject moron.
I was only joking

Not materially fake if one grants that Newsom was in "talking to black people" mode, which is very reasonable and likely if obviously unprovable.
The notion that "I'm like you. I'm no better than you" means "I'm like you" was effectively never said, remains absurd.
That there were plenty of white faces in the crowd remains uncompelling regarding Newsom's intended audience for his words, when you consider the venue and the topics of conversation in the interview.
But reasonable people can disagree about his actual motivations. His words could be boilerplate that he gives to any random audience of random people. It's not the first time he's said those self-effacing words. It remains inarguable that the words make no sense unless the intended audience was presumed to be mediocre, and in need of reassurance that Mr Newsom is non-threatening.
Education is extremely important.

I particularly admire Trump when he tells the crowd or his targets of abuse, domestic and foreign, that he loves them. Trump’s condescension goes not only beyond the usual obsequious insincerity of politicians of all stripes, clans and tribal affiliations, it is rather, a thoroughly disingenuous display of his political messianism to control others.

And since we're therapizing, I'll note that jon made this ridiculous claim as if it were obviously true, so much so that anybody who disagreed was intentionally lying. Just more proof to add to the existing mountain of proof that jon's mind goes completely off the rails in adversarial discussion. Due obviously to an ego that simply won't look directly at its own failings.
