Local governments, not Gov. Gavin Newsom, increased homelessness in California to its all-time high, he says. Nonsense. As SF mayor, he enabled addiction, crime & homelessness. As governor, he spent $37B to increase it by 24%, and raise violent crime to 31% over national average

The statement and accompanying images focus on Gavin Newsom's past and his role in California's homelessness and crime issues. The tone is critical, suggesting that Newsom's policies have exacerbated these problems. The inclusion of an old photo from a wine shop opening seems to imply a contrast between his past and current political responsibilities.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement criticizes Newsom's policies, which could be seen as harmful if not substantiated with evidence. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in personal attacks but focuses on policy criticism.
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement lacks constructive dialogue and does not engage with opposing views. [-1]
