Gavin stealing credit from then Supervisor Tom Ammiano.
Did I get you with that sex headline? Well, there’s no sex in Gavin Newsom’s gubernatorial bid launch video but their are plenty of lies and it’s on YouTube so there you go.
Gavin steals credit for Supervisor Tom Ammiano’s hard work on universal health care (among other things). That’s right, he lied on his YouTube resume. Can’t you lose your job for that?
But don’t take our word for it, the Bay Guardian has a little write up and some clever person did a nice job fact-checking the video.
That’s not enough lie for you?
In the opening segment of the three-minute YouTube clip, a man who is implied to be a Latino immigrant stands in front of his daughter and proclaims, in Spanish, that San Francisco schools are improving.
Doesn’t sound bad, right?
Well, turns out he was a ringer who wasn’t what he was presented to be in the video.
WTF?
When future campaign videos come out, can we trust that the people speaking in the video are not actors or people presenting themselves as someone they are not?
Seems like Gavin’s campaign videos mimic his entire political career and campaign — highly scripted, lots of acting, and presenting your record as Mayor in a overly positive way that doesn’t reflect reality.
