California Scheming
A Bear, Porn Queen and Transgender Run for Governor
May 16, 2021 – What does a bear, porn star and transgender celebrity have in common? They’re all seeking to be California’s next governor.
Los Angeles Times Columnist Steve Lopez discusses the bizarre election to recall and replace California Gov. Gavin Newsom. One candidate is touring the state with a bear, calling himself the “beast” who will rein in California spending.
“I’m not embarrassed to say, I was rooting for the bear to break free and turn on him and maybe take a bite out of his rear end,” Lopez said.
