Gavin Newsom Is So Serious About Cracking Down on Crime, He's Doing This Now

What is Gavin Newsom up to? We all know he's going to run for President in 2028, so is this a scam to make him seem like he's serious about cracking down on crime? We all know he's not, because he and his fellow Democrats are pushing a law that would punish independent journalists in California after Nick Shirley exposed massive welfare fraud in the state.

Whatever his motives, Newsom is spending more taxpayer money to offer rewards for tips that help crack unsolved crimes in his state.

I'm offering $50,000 rewards to anyone providing information that helps crack unsolved crimes in California.

If you know something, it is your duty to come forward to give victims and their loved ones justice.

Every case matters, every victim matters, and California is…

"Every case matters, every victim matters, and California is determined to secure accountability," Newsom wrote on X.

Okay, Gavin.

He even posted it in Spanish. That's how you know he's serious.

Estoy ofreciendo recompensas de $50,000 dólares a cualquier persona que pueda ayudar a resolver a estos crímenes en California.

Si sabes algo, es tu deber presentarte para dar justicia a las víctimas y a sus seres queridos.

Cada caso importa, cada víctima importa, y California…

What a transparent, cynical move. When California voters passed Prop 36, a bill to crack down on shoplifting and other crimes, Newsom was appalled and — to date — Democrats have simply refused to fund the measure, rendering it unenforceable.
