None of the Democratic candidates running to replace outgoing California Governor Gavin Newsom gave him below a B-minus grade on combating homelessness, a moment that Republicans sharing the debate stage on Wednesday evening called a laughable evaluation of the state’s problem.
“My goodness, of course it’s an F,” Republican candidate Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host, said.
“It shames our state, the situation with homelessness. We have about 10% of the U.S. population, around 50% of the country’s homeless.”

I mean yeah I would definitely not give Gavin Newsom a good grade on homelessness. However the 50% argument stupid when the homeless population in California is in large part due to its weather and even larger part due to Republican states busing their homeless to California.
