Prof. Jack Pitney was quoted in a piece on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s response to Temecula School Board President Joseph Komrosky and his negative comments about civil rights activist, Harvey Milk. “Newsom relishes fights with right-wing culture warriors,” Pitney said. “He won’t make any converts, but he will earn points with progressive Democrats for taking the fight to the opposition.”

Prof. Jack Pitney was quoted in a piece discussing how President Biden and Gov. Ron DeSantis are both scheduled to visit Northern California. “Right now, DeSantis only cares about Republican primary voters, and they like such maneuvers.

They’ll applaud just about anything that looks like a slap in Newsom’s face.
