California Gov. Gavin Newsom appeared indoors at a restaurant in a county where indoor dining is not allowed, but the governor’s office has said he did not dine at the restaurant. <\/p>\n
He was there to meet with the restaurant’s owners, who received a relief grant, Newsom spokesperson Daniel Lopez told Fox News. <\/p>\n
Newsom posted a video to his TikTok account with celebrity George Lopez talking about where to look for coronavirus vaccine eligibility. Newsom and Lopez were in Fresno, Calif., and are inside Los Amigos restaurant.<\/p>\n
A separate video of Lopez was posted to the Los Amigos restaurant’s Facebook page. Lopez was endorsing the restaurant’s food. <\/p>\n
Fresno is in the most restrictive purple tier, which does not allow for indoor dining. <\/p>\n
In early November, Newsom was spotted dining at the posh French Laundry in Napa for the birthday of a longtime adviser. Indoor dining was not open to the public in Napa. Newsom earned bitter backlash for the outing, which he later called “a mistake.” <\/p>\n
“I should have stood up and … drove back to my house\u2026The spirit of what I\u2019m preaching all the time was contradicted,” he said. ” I need to preach and practice, not just preach.”<\/p>\n
Newsom said in his apology that he wanted to “own” his mistake because he worried it would undermine the message of safety he wanted to send to residents.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m doing my best every single day in trying to model better behavior,” he said.<\/p>\n
