California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) was involved in a controversial incident during a basketball game in China, where he accidentally collided with a child and then proceeded to spank the child as he tried to regain his balance.
In a video that has since gone viral, Newsom can be seen attempting to showcase his basketball skills, but instead ends up awkwardly knocking over a young Chinese child. To make matters worse, Newsom then inexplicably spanks the child as he tries to recover from the fall.
The incident occurred during Newsom's recent visit to China, where he met with President Xi Jinping. Speculation has arisen that Newsom may be running a 'shadow campaign' in order to potentially replace President Joe Biden.
Critics have accused Newsom of prioritizing his relationship with China over the needs of his own state. This criticism comes as Californians continue to grapple with issues such as high taxes, a homelessness crisis, surging crime rates, and illegal immigration.
In addition to his visit to China, Newsom also made an unexpected stop in Israel prior to his trip. Reflecting on his time in Israel, Newsom expressed his admiration for the resilience of the Israeli people in the face of adversity.
During his visit, Newsom met with a mother whose son, a Californian, had been tragically injured by a terrorist's grenade in Gaza. Newsom listened to her heartbreaking account and expressed his sympathy for her family's ordeal.
As the Democratic Party considers potential candidates to replace President Biden, both Newsom and former First Lady Michelle Obama have emerged as top choices. The party is in need of a strong leader who can effectively navigate the challenges facing the nation.
