It may not be entirely fair for us to label Tim Walz as the weird one when Gavin Newsom exists.
Not only did the California governor (dubbed ‘Governor Smarmy’ by this writer) erect a five-figure bust of himself at San Francisco City Hall, he presided over the decline of one of the greatest states in the union. Crime and homelessness are up, people are fleeing Cali for greener (redder?) pastures, and Newsom is not only possibly eying a run for the White House but a podcast career.
That venture, by the way, is going great. Watch:

What is he doing?
Seriously. Explain it to us like we’re five ’cause we don’t have a clue.
Liars distract with exaggerated hand gestures.

Fair point, and not the only X user to say this:
The hands and the swaying back and forth thing could well be a communication technique to distract people from his words.
After all, here we are *not* discussing what he said, but how he said it…

Very true. This writer would need to hear more of the comments in context, because they’re probably very interesting.

Newsom will turn the entire country into Oakland if he’s elected POTUS.
@PlanetTyrus nailed it on Gutfeld tonight.

EL. OH. EL.
We’re dead.
Now if he could combine that with the shoulder shimmy he does…it is almost an aerobic workout.

It’s like a really bad ‘Sweatin’ to the Oldies’ remake.

He totally is.
Imagine being married to or working with him.
Gavin’s hand gesture tic is fairly new. Other than to wipe his nose, he didn’t wave his hands around when confronted by an ABC reporter in 2007 about his drinking problem. He did storm off, however: https://t.co/IJIM0ZlAMX https://t.co/BHjsDf3JDz

Well, isn’t that interesting?
But he is signing. “I killed California and I will do the same for America if you’re dumb enough to vote for me.” https://t.co/uYIWCqCUI5

He absolutely will.
If his hands are tied, will he stop talking? https://t.co/QAVfQrpuq7

We’re not sure, but let’s try it and find out.
