Gavin Newsom Assaulted by 'Aggressive' Homeless Man on Oakland Street
2021-06-20
[BREITBART] A man has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Gov. Gavin can't be Bee'd Newsom
...the Mitt Romneyesque mayor of San Francisco as it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of California as it transforms itself into Cinderland...
(D) during his visit to downtown Oakland, authorities said Friday.

Newsom was walking to a barbershop and pizzeria on Washington Street in Old Oakland to promote small businesses when he was "approached by an aggressive individual," said Fran Clader, director of communications for the California Highway Patrol, which provides security for the governor.

Officers removed Newsom from the situation and arrested the 54-year-old man, she said.

Newsom did not appear injured, the East Bay Times reported, and quipped to news hounds that different people have different ways of saying hello. The assailant allegedly threw a water bottle at the governor, according to law enforcement sources who spoke to the East Bay Times.

The man was taken to Alameda County jail, where he was booked for investigation of resisting an executive officer and assaulting a public official.

Reached by phone, a woman who identified as the suspect’s sister described him as a homeless man with severe mental health problems. She said the allegation made by authorities was “consistent with his past behavior.”

If the definition of "mental health issues" is consistently making irrational decisions, trying to bean Governor Hairgel doesn't rise to that standard.
