The piece recalls Biden\u2019s earlier racially tinged gaffes\u2014such as remarks from 2006 about needing an Indian accent to visit certain shops and the 2020 line about \u201cif you have a problem figuring out whether you\u2019re for me or Trump, you ain\u2019t black\u201d\u2014to illustrate what the author sees as Biden\u2019s attitude toward minorities. A 2019 clip about \u201cpoor kids\u201d being as bright as white kids is cited as emblematic of that mindset.<\/p>\n<p>The focus then shifts to Newsom, noting his book tour and a recent speech in Atlanta where he leaned on a dyslexia defense and claimed to be a \u201c960 SAT guy\u201d who can\u2019t read a speech. Critics argue this approach is condescending and offers a poor optics game meant to relate to Black voters, while others say it reveals a problematic fixation on disability as an excuse. The piece argues that the presidency isn\u2019t defined by learning disabilities and that such rhetoric shouldn\u2019t excuse incompetence. It contends the media will shape this narrative in Newsom\u2019s favor or against him depending on the political climate, and that the controversy could dominate early 2028 coverage if he stays in the race, or vanish if he fades. The closing note suggests labeling Newsom as illiterate would be unfair, but the 960 SAT moment has already given opponents a ready-made target<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2572550,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Michael-Featured-Image-726.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[74349,74348,71292,69469],"class_list":["post-2572549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-atlanta-mayor","tag-newsom-controversy","tag-political-reaction-2","tag-viral-video-2"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Michael-Featured-Image-726.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2572549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2572549"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2572549\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2572553,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2572549\/revisions\/2572553"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2572550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2572549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2572549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2572549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
