He’s trying to inoculate himself on, first of all, the French Laundry thing. … And so, Newsom comes out and he says, oh, that was the dumbest mistake of my life. I never should have done that. … He’s trying to get it out in the open the way a politician does, at the beginning of a campaign, sometimes you air some of your own dirty laundry in a controlled environment. That’s what he was doing, trying to control fallout so that it’s old news by the time he eventually runs for president.”
