Gavin Newsom, the man who has governed California for over seven years and spent $24 billion on homelessness, would like you to know that the state's catastrophic failure on the issue is definitely someone else's fault. Appearing on Scott Galloway's "The Prof G Pod," Governor Hair Gel threw Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass directly under the nearest available bus while pretending he's been powerless this whole time.

Because when you've been governor for nearly a decade and your state looks like a disaster movie, obviously the mayor did it.

Newsom called unsheltered homelessness "the ultimate manifestation of that failure," referring to government incompetence. He's right about the failure part — he just conveniently forgot he's been running the government doing the failing. "And so it is the issue that defines people's angers. It's the issue that defines my anger as governor," Newsom whined, as if he's some helpless bystander watching California burn instead of the guy holding the matches.

This is classic Newsom — big rhetoric, zero accountability. The governor even had the audacity to brag that "for the first time in close to two decades...we've seen almost a double-digit decrease" in unsheltered homelessness. Almost a double-digit decrease. After spending $24 billion. That's like setting your house on fire and bragging that you saved the mailbox.

But here's where it gets really good. Newsom also diagnosed his own party's terminal illness with stunning accuracy: "The biggest problem with the Democratic Party is we're perceived, rightfully, as too slow, weak, and ineffective." Perceived? Brother, it's not a perception problem. You spent $24 billion and the streets still look like a post-apocalyptic campground. That's not a branding issue. That's a results issue.

Meanwhile, Karen Bass is drowning in her own problems as Spencer Pratt — yes, that Spencer Pratt — mounts a serious challenge in the LA mayoral race, largely on the homelessness crisis Bass has fumbled. When a reality TV star is gaining ground on you because voters think he'd do a better job with the city's biggest problem, your political career is in the emergency room.

And Newsom isn't just running from Bass. He's clearly positioning himself for whatever comes next. Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton is already going after Newsom's record, pledging to establish a "Taxpayer Fraud Strike Force to bring accountability for $425 billion stolen." That's the kind of number that makes you wonder where all those billions actually went — because they sure didn't go to getting people off the streets.

This is what happens when two Democrats occupy the same sinking ship. Newsom helped create every single condition that made LA's homelessness crisis what it is — the policies, the spending, the bureaucratic bloat — and now he's standing on the shore pointing at Bass like she capsized the boat alone. Bass blames the fires. Newsom blames Bass. Nobody blames the policies.

We've seen this movie before. The circular firing squad is the only thing Democrats are efficient at.
