\u201cThe enemy of my enemy is my friend\u201d is an ancient proverb thought to date from a 4th century BC Sanskrit writing on statecraft<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most graphic example of its application occurred in World War II, when Soviet Russia, which had a \u201cnonagression\u201d pact with Nazi Germany, was suddenly attacked by its erstwhile ally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overnight, the Soviet Union\u2019s dictator, Joseph Stalin, was transformed from enemy to a partner of the U.S. and Great Britain in their war against Germany and its dictator, Adolf Hitler. Militarily, it was the best thing that could have happened for the Western allies because had it not happened, Hitler might easily have triumphed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something like that is happening in California as Gov. Gavin Newsom fights off a campaign to oust him from office via a September 14 recall election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With voting underway, Newsom\u2019s campaign has shifted from defending his gubernatorial record to attacking the leading Republican candidate to succeed him, talk show host Larry Elder<\/a>. Pro-Newsom editorialists and the second place Republican, former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, have joined Newsom\u2019s assault on Elder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overall theme of the attacks is that Elder\u2019s extreme right-wing views make him unacceptable as an officeholder, and the drumbeat quickened last week when Elder\u2019s former girlfriend accused him of being verbally abusive<\/a> and even, at one point, waving a gun at her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI, for one brief moment, believed that he intended to shoot me. I was in fear for my life,\u201d Alexandra Datig said, adding: \u201cAt the same time, I\u2019m also very fearless and, having grown up around guns, I didn\u2019t take it seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elder, of course, denied the gun allegation, but immediately, his critics turned from saying he shouldn\u2019t be governor to demanding that he drop out of the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Sacramento Bee declared<\/a> that Elder\u2019s \u201cmisogynistic attitudes toward women and the damning allegations revealed this week about how he treated his ex-fiancee Alexandra Datig are disqualifying, and make him wholly unfit to be California governor. Elder must drop out of the race immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cElder\u2019s backwards positions harm women’s rights and the livelihoods of California families,\u201d Faulconer said in a late Friday afternoon statement. \u201cElder\u2019s lack of judgement and character flaws threaten the success and credibility of this historic recall movement \u2014 Californians will not vote to recall one dysfunctional governor if it means replacing him with another.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what effect will this barrage of criticism from Newsom, Faulconer and pro-Newsom media have on Elder and the recall drive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsom obviously hopes that focusing on Elder and the supposedly terrible fate that would befall California should he become governor will not only change the subject but motivate Democrats to vote against the recall. Democratic voter apathy is, polls indicate, the prime reason Newsom is in danger of losing his office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the focus on Elder could also make it more likely that he would, in fact, become governor should the recall succeed. Voters who favor the recall could easily conclude that if Newsom, the media and Faulconer are ganging up on Elder, perhaps he\u2019s just the man to lead the revolt against the political status quo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s what happened in 2016 when Donald Trump emerged from the Republican pack to become the GOP\u2019s presidential nominee. The more Trump was attacked for his many personal shortcomings, the more attractive he became to angry Republican voters. The rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elder may be, as his critics say, unfit to be governor. However, like Trump, he probably loves the attention because his enemies are making him more friends.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Es un invitado frecuente en programas de radio y ocasionalmente aparece en la televisi\u00f3n nacional, comentando temas de California. Walters comenz\u00f3 su carrera en 1960 en el Humboldt Times en Eureka, California, un mes antes de cumplir 17 a\u00f1os, primero como asistente de redacci\u00f3n y luego como reportero de la polic\u00eda. Habiendo encontrado su vocaci\u00f3n, no s\u00f3lo rechaz\u00f3 una beca universitaria de National Merit, sino que abandon\u00f3 la escuela secundaria al carecer de una clase requerida (ir\u00f3nicamente, educaci\u00f3n c\u00edvica) para calificar para un diploma. Antes de mudarse a Sacramento para cubrir pol\u00edtica, fue editor en jefe de tres peque\u00f1os diarios. Tiene dos hijas adultas y tres nietos.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/DanCALmatters"],"birthDate":"1943-10-10","gender":"Male","jobTitle":"Columnist","worksFor":"CalMatters.org","url":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/author\/dan-walters\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/commentary\/2021\/08\/larry-elder-recall-newsom-critics\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Larry Elder’s critics may be helping him succeed","url":"http:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/commentary\/2021\/08\/larry-elder-recall-newsom-critics\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/commentary\/2021\/08\/larry-elder-recall-newsom-critics\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/07132021_Elder_PU_Sized_03.jpg?resize=60%2C60&ssl=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/07132021_Elder_PU_Sized_03.jpg?fit=2000%2C1333&ssl=1"},"articleSection":"Dan Walters","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel Walters"}],"creator":["Dan Walters"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"CalMatters","logo":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/calmatters-logo_2x.png"},"keywords":["commentary","larry elder","recall 2021","recall newsom"],"dateCreated":"2021-08-24T07:01:00Z","datePublished":"2021-08-24T07:01:00Z","dateModified":"2021-08-25T17:52:44Z"},"rendered":"<meta name=\"parsely-title\" content=\"Larry Elder’s critics may be helping him succeed\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-link\" content=\"http:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/commentary\/2021\/08\/larry-elder-recall-newsom-critics\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-type\" content=\"post\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-image-url\" content=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/07132021_Elder_PU_Sized_03.jpg?resize=60%2C60&ssl=1\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-pub-date\" content=\"2021-08-24T07:01:00Z\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-section\" content=\"Dan Walters\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-tags\" content=\"commentary,larry elder,recall 2021,recall newsom\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-author\" content=\"Dan Walters\" \/>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/calmatters.org\/p.js"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/07132021_Elder_PU_Sized_03.jpg?fit=2000%2C1333&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/73"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202111"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202111\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":202644,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202111\/revisions\/202644"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202111"},{"taxonomy":"legislator","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/legislator?post=202111"},{"taxonomy":"bill","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bill?post=202111"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=202111"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=202111"}],"curies":[{"name":"Gracias","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
