Gavin Newsom’s own PAC spent $1.5 million buying thousands of copies of his new book, accounting for 2/3 of overall sales, according to his campaign.

Thread 'Newsom book sales'

Friday at 9:24 PM

Gov. Gavin Newsom found a novel way to boost both his political war chest and his memoir sales, by tying the two together.

The Democrat offered supporters a copy of his book, “Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery,” in exchange for donations of any size to his political action committee.

New federal filings released Wednesday show Newsom’s PAC, Campaign for Democracy, shelled out $1,561,875 to purchase and distribute those books through the promotion.

Damn, If ya can't sell em. Ask for a donation and give them away.

Buy YOUR book with DONOR money to boost sales is INTERESTING,

Maybe it will be given away at campaign events. What is does it is create a perception of fake popularity by increasing book sales, when in fact, it is NEWSOM buying his own book using CAMPAIGN MONEY.

SO NEWSOM TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

#NOKINGS, right?

I said this would happen when someone made a thread about it the other day.

 

[Harry Dresden]

its all about gavin....

 

[ColonelAngus]

I wonder if he will get a bonus from his publisher for sales.

He is such a snake.

more like a fake....

 

[SeaMajor7]

Corrupt and FAKE.
Just another Tuesday for the demented LEFT.
Sickening.

 

[ColonelAngus]

What is funny is that the commies cannot even say it is a lie, because it is in the filings BY HIS OWN CAMPAIGN.

They have to move on to WHO CARES from the usual “THAT IS A LIE!”

Saves time for them, I guess.

 

[ColonelAngus]

I have yet to see anyone explain why Newsom would be a good POTUS.

More ammunition for the type of president he would be if the Dems are stupid enough to nominate him.

Then again, who do they have that’s any better? AOC? Harris?

Because Vance or Rubio will be a Nazi! A Hitler! A white suoremacist! A fascist!

The nominee will be Newsom and the Dems will cheat.

They are an organized crime institution.

I'm personally hoping Mark Kelly runs.

I would also be happy with Pritzker, or Newsom, or Cooper.

Just a lot of good choices.

As opposed to your side. You are stuck with Shady Vance, and after Trump is done trashing the country, he's not going to have much to say.

 

[JoeB131]

Trump's approval rating is down to 37%. It will be much worse by 2028, when we are in full recession.

Kind of like unions doing bulk purchases of a random democrats' book so they can claim it's a huge success.

You've convinced me, I will not be voting for TRUMP! in 2028.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Lefties, pretend Trump did this and make a post regarding that.

We have more ammunition this time to prevent a cheat. They tried it in 2020, and couldn’t pull it off.

The best ads against Newsome will be:

1) What has happened to California under his watch
2) His “rich white elite” hypocritical persona going to the $1000 a plate French Laundry while he had the peons locked in their homes
3) This book purchase
4) The Dems in general - who admitted during the SOTU that their first priority is illegal aliens rather than American citizens

No one is going to give a shit about that when they can't find a job or afford to fill up their gas tank.

The irony of which will be pictures and video of Californians that....wait for it....here it comes....it's worth it...can't find a job or afford to fill up their gas tank.

Pubs have some strong candidates.

Rubio/Gabbard vs Newsom/AOC would be an interesting race.

I agree they tried in 2024, and failed, but they will try harder in 2028, like Avis RENT A CAR.

There will be fraud in swing states.
