Rapper Nicki Minaj and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) on Monday knocked California Gov. Gavin Newsom over his SAT remarks at an event in Atlanta previewing the release of his memoir, “Young Man in a Hurry.”
“I’m not trying to impress you. I’m just trying to impress upon you I’m like you. I’m no better than you. I’m a 960 SAT guy,” Newsom told Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens (D).
“I’m not trying to offend anyone — trying to act all there if you got 940,” he added.
The recorded clip quickly sparked backlash from the MAGA base from Minaj and Scott alike.
“His way of bonding with black ppl is to tell them how stupid he is & that he can’t read. This means my first read on him was correct. He’s been handed so many things & put in high positions he never earned or deserved,” Minaj wrote in a post on the social platform X.
Newsom is about my age so I suspect that he means his SAT Verbal and Math scores totaled 960. If so, it explains why he is the most likely Democratic candidate for President. I was not one of the smarter people in my social circles but I still managed 1390. Some of my friends achieved 1480.
Yes, tell black people that they are just as intellectually challenged as you are. That's a way to make friends!
