Hey, in a way, it’s kind of thoughtful.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced that he’s going to send a very pragmatic gift to a few noteworthy loyalists of President Donald Trump, and it’s likely something that a Targaryen (“Game of Thrones”) would unironically give to everyone they know: knee pads.
“COMING SOON — NEW KNEE PADS FOR ALL CEO’s, UNIVERSITIES, AND GOP BENDING THE KNEE TO DONALD TRUMP,” Newsom tweeted Wednesday.
He added: “YOUR KNEES LOOK VERY SORE FROM ALL YOUR GROVELING. THEY WILL EVEN BE SIGNED BY YOUR DEAR LEADER SINCE YOU LOVE HIM SO MUCH! YOU ARE WELCOME!!!!”
Along with Newsom’s tweet was a snippet of his appearance at the California Economic Summit in Stockton on Wednesday, where he expanded on his snarky sporting gear agenda, saying that he intends to send a pair to the University of Virginia, the latest institution to reach a settlement with the Justice Department over its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. It follows schools like Columbia University and Brown University, which have also buckled to the Trump administration’s demands to restore their funding.
