NEW: Gavin Newsom says he was visiting a Target and got blamed for a shoplifting incident to his face by a worker who didn't recognize him.

Remarkable 😂

During a Zoom call, Newsom said he was at a checkout line when someone left the store without paying.

Newsom asked the worker why nobody stopped the shoplifter.

“She goes, ‘oh, the governor.' Swear to God, true story on my mom's grave.”

“The governor lowered the threshold, there's no accountability,” the worker said.

“She looks at me twice and then she freaks out, she calls everyone over, wants to take photos,” Newsom said.

“I'm like, ‘no we're not taking a photo, we're having a conversation, where's your manager? How are you blaming the governor?'”

“And it was $380 later, and I was like ‘Why am I spending $380, everyone else can walk the heck right out?”
