Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a> recalled in leaked footage that a store worker blamed his own policies to his face as they both witnessed a brazen theft unfold in California.<\/p>\n

The video, first shared on X<\/a> by a reporter with The San Francisco Standard, showed a portion of a Zoom meeting with Newsom and other elected California officials.<\/p>\n

The governor said that the exchange came while he was checking out a store and observed a man “just walking out” of the store without paying.<\/p>\n

“Why aren’t you stopping him,” Newsom said he asked the employee.<\/p>\n

Newsom explained that the store employee said they stopped pursuing shoplifters “because of the governor.”<\/p>\n

“We don’t stop them because of the governor,”’ Newsom said. “The governor lowered the threshold and there is no accountability.”<\/p>\n

After blaming Newsom for the crime, the worker allegedly gave Newsom a second glance and realized who she was speaking with.<\/p>\n

“And then she looks at me twice, and then she freaks out, calls everyone over. She wants to take a photo,” Newsom recalled to the other elected officials<\/a> during the Zoom call.<\/p>\n

“And I’m like, \u2018No, I\u2019m not taking a photo, we’re having a conversation. Where is your manager?'” the governor recalled to the elected officials, who were seen laughing.<\/p>\n

“Why are you blaming the governor,” Newsom said.<\/p>\n

After the worker attributed the rise in brazen crime<\/a> to Newsom lowering the “threshold” for serious crimes, the governor pushed back.<\/p>\n

“That’s just not true,” Newsom told the store’s employee. “We have the tenth toughest in America– look it up, no one gives a d—.”<\/p>\n

Following the exchange, Newsom asked why he had to pay for his goods<\/a> while “everyone” could just “walk the h— right out” without facing consequences.<\/p>\n

“I was like, why am I spending $380 and everyone can walk the h— right out,” Newsom said.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for Newsom said that retail theft per capita in California is\u00a0“17.0%\u00a0lower\u00a0than the average\u00a0among states.”<\/p>\n

The governor’s office also touted Newsom’s $1.1 billion investment to “fight crime, hire more police<\/a>, and improve public safety.”<\/p>\n

The location of the store and the date of the incident were not revealed on the Zoom call.<\/p>\n

Newsom’s office declined to provide further details on the incident to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n
