D'oh! California Gov. Gavin Newsom Offended By Person Store Clerk Blamed For Shoplifting Problem

On a Zoom call recently, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he witnessed shoplifting and asked a store worker why people were stealing. Newsom didn't like the answer, and it's funny because it's true: In a Zoom call about a mental health proposition, Gov. Gavin Newsom says he was at a Target and saw someone walk out without paying. He asked a worker why the person steals and they blamed the Governor before looking at him twice and recognizing him. “I was like, why I am spending $380 and everyone can walk the hell right out.” -- OUCH! It's also telling how Newsom suggested that he should just go ahead and steal what he was purchasing as well.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom shares a story about being in a Target and seeing the consequences of his pro-crime policies when someone walked out of the store without paying. Newsom was more offended when the store employee blamed him for the crime than the actual crime itself. Newsom went full Karen and demanded to see the manager: This is hilarious. Theft is so common in California that it happened right in front of Newsom, and when the cashier (who didn't realize it was Newsom) said they can't stop shoplifters due to the California government, Newsom got mad at her and asked to see the manager. The governor who wants to be president someday (God help us all) blamed the clerk for giving him a reality check. Gavin needs to get out more.
