He and the former sitcom star filmed a TikTok video from inside the restaurant instructing Fresno residents on how to sign up to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>Social media users, though, were quick to point out that Los Amigos is not open for business \u2014 by edict of the state of California \u2014 and that Newsom appeared to be, yet again, breaking his own pandemic-related restrictions.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I don\u2019t like him but is this proof that he dined inside?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mark B In SD (@MomsOopsBaby) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MomsOopsBaby\/status\/1365857444874784770?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 28, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Although there is no food pictured on the tables, Twitter sleuths claimed the restaurant \u201cserved\u201d Newsom because a shot of the governor and Lopez seemed to show a tray with drinks on it, and the pair were in the restaurant for \u201can hour.\u201d He and Lopez also do not appear to be practicing effective social distancing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Look at the table and decide for yourself.

At the time, indoor dining was prohibited. Initially, Newsom insisted the group dined outside but later seemed to acknowledge breaking the rules.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI should have stood up and drove back to my house,\u201d he said in a speech later. \u201cThe spirit of what I\u2019m preaching all the time was contradicted. I need to preach and practice, not just preach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m doing my best every single day in trying to model better behavior,\u201d he added at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Because of that flub and a host of other concerns \u2014 including that many of California\u2019s school districts have yet to return to in-person instruction despite clear evidence that classroom learning is safe \u2014 Newsom has fallen under significant scrutiny and is now likely to face a recall election \u2014 and organizers say they are close to getting a Newsom recall on the ballot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOrganizers of the Newsom recall effort say they\u2019ve collected 1.825 million signatures. They need 1.5 million signatures by March 17 but are accounting for a fraction of the signatures to be rejected,\u201d Fox News reported.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant industry in California is also in dire straits, as it remains one of the few states where indoor dining, in any capacity, is still banned to protect against the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
