Gavin Newsom’s spouse shares sister loss of life, empathizes with San Quentin inmates

A video making the rounds on social media Tuesday reveals Jennifer Siebel Newsom — the proudly woke filmmaker and spouse of California Gov. Gavin Newsom — detailing how she used the story of by chance killing her sister as a toddler to narrate to youth offenders in San Quentin state jail.

Siebel Newsom, who was 6 years previous on the time of the lethal accident involving a golf cart in Hawaii, says within the video that she blamed herself for her sister Stacey’s loss of life, and the story “shocked” the inmates who had been juvenile offenders. 

The governor’s spouse prompt within the video she was a “blonde girl” with a “comparable story” because the inmates, because the incident was a state of affairs of “unsuitable place, unsuitable time.” She added that she wasn’t punished “as a result of clearly it was an accident, however there’s was most likely an accident, too.” 

The resurfaced video provides to a sample of candid — and at occasions cringey — public remarks which have generated headlines and debate over Siebel Newsom’s tone and politics as her husband gears up for an anticipated presidential marketing campaign in 2028.

In 1981, Siebel Newsom was reportedly taking part in along with her 8-year-old sister, Stacey, close to golf carts throughout a household trip. A cart Siebel Newsom was in went into reverse, fatally putting her sister, who had been behind the automobile, in response to stories.

The feedback suggesting a few of the state’s most harmful offenders had been positioned in jail accidentally are the most recent in a string of cringey moments by SIebel Newsom, who has been mocked on social media as tone deaf and out of step.

“Newsom’s spouse’s newest advantage sign is telling San Quentin lifers that she confronted zero penalties when her sister was killed as a result of it was an accident then telling them their life sentences are most likely for “accidents” too,” wrote Riley Gaines, the previous collegiate swimmer turned conservative political activist.

Gaines added, “Peak elite tone-deafness.”
