I think Crockett needs to apologize for a lot more than that.

My reason for focusing on Newsom in this particular situation, and the difference between the two, is that it's no secret that Newsom intends to run for president and that deserves extra focus. if I had my choice it wouldn't be him. Again, I'll vote for him if he is our official candidate but he is not my first or even second choice.
