When California Governor Gavin Newsom decides to run for president, he can apparently count on at least one group of reliably Democratic voters: criminals.
In a video going viral today, independent journalist Nick Shirley asks people whether they would consider voting for Newsom in the next presidential election.
Things get a bit wild when Shirley confronts a man walking backwards. The person drops a bombshell, which leaves Shirley stunned: he says he will vote for Newsom because the governor freed him from a life sentence.
Shirley goes on to say that he can’t blame him for supporting Newsom. Then, he asks the man what he was locked up for.
The man then tells the journalist he was imprisoned for murder, carjacking, and robbery.
Wow!

SHIRLEY: Would you vote for Gavin Newsom in 2028?
MAN: I’d vote for him because he got me released from a life sentence.
SHIRLEY: Really? Wow!
MAN: He didn’t hold me back. He signaled I’m fit for society.
So yes, I would vote for Gavin Newsom.
SHIRLEY: I probably would vote for Gavin Newsom, too, if I were you.
What were you locked up for?
MAN: I was locked up for murder, carjacking, and robbery.
After his interaction with the alleged killer appeared online, Shirley sarcastically quipped, “Seems like a good neighbor to have next door.”

Do not be surprised if this footage eventually appears in a Republican commercial within the next couple of years.
