About the Creator
Zeek Arkham is a conservative commentator and content creator on X (formerly Twitter) known for posting viral reactions to political missteps, often with a sarcastic and provocative style targeting Democrats. His content frequently amplifies right-leaning narratives, gaining traction among conservative audiences through humor and outrage. Credibility is subjective, as he focuses on commentary rather than verified journalism, but his posts often spark widespread engagement.[1][2]
What's This About?
The post reacts to a viral clip of California Governor Gavin Newsom speaking to a Black audience in Atlanta, where he shared his low SAT score of 960 and struggles with dyslexia, saying 'I'm like you... I cannot read a speech' to relate personally. Critics, including the poster, interpret this as Newsom implying the audience is 'stupid,' sparking accusations of condescension and racism. Newsom defended himself by highlighting his lifelong dyslexia and contrasting the backlash with past Trump controversies, like ape videos of Obama. Key themes include racial sensitivity in politics, viral outrage clips, and partisan media spins.[1][2]
🔥Why It's Trending
This content is trending due to the viral clip resurfacing amid Newsom's national political ambitions post-2024 election, amplified by influencers like Nicki Minaj, Libs of TikTok, and James Woods. The timing aligns with ongoing U.S. political divisions, making decontextualized clips highly shareable for partisan attacks. Social media outrage cycles, especially around race and Democrats, drive massive engagement as seen in recent YouTube breakdowns.[1][2]
