Here we go again. First, the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. OK, the laptop is real and President Joe Biden did talk business with his son, but called into business meetings just because he loves him. OK, Hunter did use his father as leverage in his foreign business dealings, but it's not that uncommon. The bottom line is that Joe Biden didn't benefit at all from this. He's clean.

No, the actual bottom line is that the Biden family benefited to the tune of MILLIONS OF DOLLARS - and that benefited Joe Biden, period, end of story. 

Fox News reports that Newsom appeared on CNN Monday and brushed off the Hunter Biden scandal by saying it's "hardly unique" to use one's family to "get a little influence." It happens all the time and no one goes to jail.

Anders Hagstrom reports:

"One of the things that Republicans are relentless on, of course, is Hunter Biden," CNN host Dana Bash began. "There is no evidence that Joe Biden benefited from anything that Hunter was doing, but Republicans have shown that Hunter Biden – he tried to leverage his father's name, and that the president allegedly before he was president joined phone calls that Hunter Biden's business associates were on. Do you see anything inappropriate there?"

"I don't know enough about the details of that. I mean I've seen a little of that," Newsom responded. "If that's the new criteria, there are a lot of folks in a lot of industries – not just in politics – where people have family members and relationships and they're trying to parlay and get a little influence and benefit in that respect. That's hardly unique."

Incredible

We've gone from

1). Hunters laptop is Russian disinformation
2). Hunter did nothing wrong
3). Hunter did drugs, but not corruption

And finally

4). Actually, corruption is good.

Well, the infantile ridiculousness of Gavin Newsome actually goes even further than this. The moronic and sleazy Newsome disingenuously attempts to deflect and excuse Biden corruption by referencing the use of family influence in private business matters. Well, guess what, Gavin? In private business, using "who you know" to get ahead is perfectly acceptable and to be expected because your primary focus is personal success. Everyone is VERY aware of this. However, fulfilling a political office is one of PUBLIC SERVICE ... a fiduciary responsibility to the public, NOT a means to enrich yourself or your family ... hence the term "PUBLIC SERVICE." Therefore, the political power that is temporarily afforded to you by the public is for you to use at their behest and for their benefit. If you, instead, use it to enrich yourself or your family, that is MALFEASANCE and CORRUPTION.

Newsome knows this, but he's a corrupt liar, so ...
