TikTok of George Lopez, Gov. Gavin Newsom sparks controversy

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KRON) - Governor Gavin Newsom is facing controversy after posting a video to TikTok with comedian George Lopez over the weekend.

In the video, Newsom appears to be inside a restaurant in Fresno, where indoor dining is not allowed yet.

His account (@gavinnewsom) has about 103,000 followers, and the video with Lopez already has over 94,000 views.

Lopez asks Newsom "How do I find out if I can get a vaccination?" To which Newsom responds, "George, you gotta go to myturn.ca.gov."

"Wait a minute," Lopez responds in excitement. "Thank you, governor."

Both Lopez and Newsom are wearing a masks.

A separate video of Lopez was posted to the Los Amigos restaurant’s Facebook page. Lopez was endorsing the restaurant’s food.

This is the second time Newsom has faced backlash over reportedly not following state guidelines.

Back in November, Newsom admitted to attending a dinner party at the French Laundry restaurant in Yountville.

At the time, Napa was not allowing indoor dining either.

It is unclear the purpose of Newsom's most recent restaurant visit in Fresno.

KRON4 has reached out to the governor's office for comment but has not heard back.
