More evidence that Larry Elder would be good for California--The Libs fear him

 Legal Insurrection:

Sacramento’s “Little Swamp” is signaling its fear of conservative pundit Larry Elder, the leading replacement candidate should Californians recall Governor Gavin Newsom.

To begin with, the inappropriately named California’s Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) has opened an investigation into Elder’s financial disclosure.

The investigation comes after the California Democratic Party filed a complaint against Elder accusing the Republican of not properly disclosing aspects of his finances and business, following a story reported by the Los Angeles Times earlier this month, according to the news outlet.

The FPPC’s investigation into Elder’s campaign financial disclosure was first reported by the Times.

Elder is a leading candidate in next month’s California gubernatorial recall election.

The Times reported earlier this month that it looked like Elder had improperly listed financial disclosures related to Laurence A. Elder & Associates Inc., a business that experts told the news outlet it appeared he owned.

The Times reported that in his Statement of Economic Interests, a public filing that helps note whether there’s any potential ethical concerns, including conflicts of interest, he had not indicated if he owned a stake of that company. He did note that it was a source of income.

The fear is so palpable. The Los Angeles Times Editorial Board published a histrionic screed against Elder, indicating he is such a horror that Newsom should consider his candidacy a gift.

In doing so, the editorial board also identified who the progressives in charge of the state don’t fear.

…You know which Republican recall candidate probably does concern the Democratic establishment because he might be able to hang on to the job? Faulconer. The moderate, pro-choice, experienced Republican got elected mayor twice in San Diego, where Republicans are just about a quarter of registered voters. While we oppose the recall, we think Faulconer is the only responsible vote on Question 2 of the recall ballot.

So what will it be, California Republicans? A vote for the race-baiting demagogue on the ballot, or a vote for a candidate who cares to actually try to govern?

Finally, CNN’s Jim Acosta decided he would try and help extinguish Elder’s efforts by whining about a joke the recall candidate made about obese women.

...

OK, here is a joke about an obese woman.  "She is trying to watch what she eats, but her eyes are not that fast." 

With that out of the way, apparently, the Democrats fear that an elderly Diane Feinstein might not finish her term and Elder could appoint a conservative replacement.  Oh, the horrors.

California should be so lucky.
