@bradleysmith681 No, Gavin has been a successful business owner for years. He owns and ran (past tense, before he was an elected official) many well known, popular wineries, bars and restaurants. He employed hundreds of Californians--and still does as those places have not gone out of business and are still operating, even tho everything went into a blind trust years ago so he could work for the State. He clearly did not think he was doing something as stupid as it was, until it was splashed across the front page of almost every paper in the country, but he quickly apologized and made no excuses for his behavior. Yes, he is human just like everyone else, and he made a mistake. It was not planned as a media moment and was not meant to be viewed by the world, whereas Pelosi and her ice cream moment will go down as one of the most tone deaf displays of poor judgment in history, so people should stop comparing the two.

@bradleysmith681 Is your issue with everything driven by some personal grudge against Gavin or just nepotism in general? And is it so offensive to you how someone gets their start in life regardless of what they then do with their life thereafter? None of your idols had a leg up somewhere along the way? Willie Brown cares way too much about his reputation (and now, likely, his legacy), to help someone who will not perform and do well in any position he helps someone attain (and he is a lovely, decent human being btw). Just as Gavin would not have gotten as far in life without everything he did for the city. I, personally, cannot claim to be as virtuous as either of them as I would not have (did not) leave my life, my family, my business es, in order to take a huge payout and work as a government employee. Even if it would have looked great on paper and there would have been tremendous bragging rights, I prefer to be able to eat at The French Laundry whenever I want, in private. So, while Gavin is now getting crap for one dinner gone wrong, he is still, in my eyes, a better person than I. Is he full of himself? Absolutely. Does he think he is better than most? Probably. But I can also attest to the fact that he likely is. He was and likely still is and the people who keep attacking him either have some personal beef with him, or they are just jealous. There is no other rational answer. The people writing comments to strangers on YT to "storm the Bastille" are clearly not actually starving as the French were during the Revolution or even during the Terror. Our generation of woke revolutionaries are misguided, misinformed and honestly, pathetic!
