Article Summary

This article is not considered a psychological operation. It examines California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra's role as state attorney general in a legal effort to uphold the death sentence of Robert Lewis, a Black man deemed intellectually disabled, by pushing to inflate his IQ score using race-based adjustments—a controversial practice later banned in California. The article highlights discrepancies between Becerra’s past legal actions and his current campaign stance on the death penalty, raising questions about his alignment with Democratic Party values on criminal justice reform.
