Walters: Newsom just another attention-seeking political blowhard

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:42:22 GMT

There’s always been a performative aspect to American politics. Politicians say or do things to seek attention, rather than contribute to governance. But it has become pervasive in recent years.Former President Donald Trump personifies the bombastic approach, saying anything to get his supporters riled up — even to the point of violence – and draw media attention, no matter how detached from reality.Unfortunately, however, Trump is not alone. Politicians of all ideological stripes now see attention-grabbing verbiage as an end unto itself, making declarations and issuing promises with little or no grounding in reality — but that can fool the unwary.California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, is a particularly active performer, scarcely letting a day pass without uttering — or tweeting — something that draws the attention that he apparently craves, particularly from national political media.Newsom regularly exchanges incendiary rhetoric and cheesy stunts with Florida ...

LOUIS (AP) — David Freese has decided to decline his induction into the St. Louis Cardinals’ Hall of Fame.The former third baseman was a postseason hero for his hometown team in helping the Cardinals win the 2011 World Series.
