Reply #3: The poster was being kind to Newsom.

[geek tragedy]

Newsom had a married couple (both close personal friends) who were both working in his administration. Newsom started f@cking the wife behind the husband's back and cuckolded him, throwing in a dash of public humiliation for good measure.

Newsom may be a decent mayor, but not a very good human being and downright shitty friend.

P.S. the man whose wife he screwed was his re-election campaign manager and was his chief of staff.
