San Francisco Mayor apologizes for Lapse in Judgment
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who spearheaded the ultimately successful effort to legalize breed discrimination in California (changing decades of nondiscrimination law), apologized Thursday, February 1st for a lapse in judgment when it became known that he had a sexual affair with his former campaign manager's wife. Newsom's former campaign manager was Alex Tourk, who approached Newsom about the affair after Tourk's wife confessed to him. Tourk then resigned.
Newsom is seeking a second four-year term in November.
CHAKO officially rejects Gavin Newsom as an appropriate candidate for ANY public office. Not only has he spearheaded a drive to allow genetic discrimination, he has demonstrated a lack of personal morals by betraying someone who worked closely with him for many years. Newsom's confession came only after Tourk learned the truth and confronted the Mayor about the affair and it came after the San Francisco Chronicle reported the situation. It doesn't take morals to confess to a serious transgression that is already publicly known. That's called "damage control."
