According to the Daily Mail, "(Gov. Newsom) added that he had only been in office for 4 years and that was not sufficient time to make up for the fact that in 2005 we had a historic number of homeless under a Republican Administration."
Uhhhhh, what?
Let's specifically talk about the San Francisco Homeless Crisis, shall we? You can blame homelessness on an opioid epidemic, a mental health crisis, or even the high price of living. What you can't do is blame Republicans.
Like, at all.

Between 2019-Today, Gavin Newsom is currently the Governor of Califormia.
Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn't been in office for over a decade. He was a Republican, but hardly Conservative. Arnold was described by the Washington Post as a "Radical Moderate."
Okay, let's level up.
Current U.S Representatives for San Francisco:
District 11 - Nancy Pelosi: Democrat
She won her district with an astonishing 84% of the vote.

Okay, let's level up.
Current U.S. Senators for California:

Ms. Feinstein was the Mayor of San Francisco for a decade.
As a matter of fact, in 1978, Ms. Feinstein was on the San Francisco Board of Governors when Democrat member Dan White assassinated fellow Democrat member Harvey Milk and Democrat Mayor George Moscone. You can look it up, since 1978 nearly every single member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors has been a Democrat.
Okay, let's level up.

Homelessness is a complex problem.
I am not saying Blame Democrats. I am just saying that you can't say Blame Republicans.
So with ALL that being said, Newsom thinks this is the reason that there's homelessness in his former city?
