They told him and the others to shut the fuck up and let Harris go ahead.
Gavin Newsom jokes about Harris landing nomination without primary, laughs he was ‘told’ to call it inclusive
California Gov. Gavin Newsom joked about the process that landed
Vice President Kamala Harris the Democratic presidential nomination, saying in an interview posted Friday that he was "told to say" it was an open, inclusive process.
President Biden's blockbuster announcement last month that he was ending his re-election bid for a second term in the White House resulted in Harris replacing him at the top of the ticket. She has since enjoyed a surge in polling and fundraising, but never received a vote as the
Democratic Party quickly embraced her to lead the ticket.
Critics of the Democratic Party have suggested Harris got the nomination without the true will of the voters, but Newsom appeared to find the process humorous.
"We went through a very open process, a very inclusive process. It was bottom-up, I don’t know if you know that. That’s what I’ve been told to say," Newsom said as he laughed during a talk with "Pod Save America"
posted Friday.
Newsom then joked that Democrats held a 30-minute convention between tweets by Biden on July 21 announcing he left the race and then had endorsed Harris.
"It’s been amazing," quipped Newsom, who's widely seen as having future White House ambitions himself.
Democrats like Nancy Pelosi have claimed the nomination wasn't orchestrated in Harris' favor after Biden dropped out
The clip drew criticism as it began to circulate on
social media on Friday.
"The Party of Democracy sits around guffawing at how anti-democratic and vote-free and secret was their process for choosing and then imposing the new Democratic presidential nominee on the country," journalist Glenn Greenwald responded.
