Gavin Newsom's alleged ties to Chicoms

Newsom was criticized for missing an opportunity to address a pressing public health crisis, but Schweizer says his refusal to “finger-point” stems from his deep ties to China, which he’s reluctant to jeopardize.

“His history is a long association with Chinese organized crime figures,” he says. “When he was mayor of San Francisco, he appointed as the head of Chinatown economic development a guy who was a dragon head — that is a mafia leader in Chinese organized crime.”

Newsom also “gave taxpayer money from San Francisco to [another dragon head’s] nonprofit,” and “he had on his transition team yet another guy who was involved with Chinese organized crime who went to jail on a murder-for-hire plot,” says Schweizer.

Further, during Newsom’s San Francisco mayoral tenure, “he also set up something called ChinaSF to bring China investment dollars to San Francisco.” To establish ChinaSF, he partnered with “Vincent Lo” — a man “already publicly known to be associated with Chinese organized crime.” As a result of their partnership, “some of the early businesses that came and invested in San Francisco through this scheme were tied to Chinese organized crime,” Schweizer explains.

“This is different than the corruption I have seen in the past,” says Glenn. “This corruption leads to the destruction and the death — literal death — of Americans.”

I haven't thought Newsom had much of a chance for elections outside of California. If the allegations by Glenn Beck and Schweizer are correct, he may also have a limited political future in California.
