California Governor Gavin Newsom witnessed a theft in progress and found himself at the center of a heated debate over the state’s handling of shoplifting crimes.

The incident, which Newsom detailed in a recent Zoom call with California mayors, highlighted the frustrations surrounding California’s approach to petty theft due to his weak leadership.

According to Newsom, while shopping at Target, he saw a person casually steal an item and leave the store.

Intrigued, the governor approached a store employee to understand why the thief was not apprehended. To his astonishment, the employee directly blamed Newsom’s radical policies for the surge in such crimes.
