\u201cI\u2019d just be lying. And I\u2019m not \u2014 I can\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
In recent months, Newsom has swung through key early states and launched a podcast where he\u2019s honed his debate skills \u2014 sparring with conservative guests.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s also turned his social media handles into troll accounts that consistently post bizarre and over-the-top responses to GOP critics.<\/p>\n
