The slugfest in California’s crowded governor’s race is heating up, and Republican Steve Hilton may have just landed one of the sharpest blows yet as the June 2 primary nears.
Hilton decided he had enough of the “bragging” done by Democratic San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan when it came to improving the homeless situation, and visited a park in the city himself.
“Matt Mahan, the mayor of San Jose, endlessly goes on about what a fantastic job he’s done cleaning up the homelessness in his city,” Hilton said in a video, referring to Mahan’s talking points during past gubernatorial debates. “Well, I am in his city.”
He then turns the camera to show homeless people sleeping on the ground or on benches throughout the park, with their belongings strewn all over.
“It absolutely stinks like it’s some public restroom all around us,” Hilton noted as he walked through the park.
“This is where families are supposed to be enjoying themselves. This doesn’t look very cleaned up to me,” Hilton said, as he showed more footage of people lying around. He then accuses Mahan of insulting people’s intelligence.
In the next scene, Hilton is walking down a street in downtown San Jose and shows closed-up store front after closed-up store front.
“He keeps telling us things are going great in San Jose, but it doesn’t really feel like a shining example of the kind of leadership as he calls it that we want for the whole of California,” Hilton said as he walked by another boarded-up business.
“No thank you, Matt Mahan,” he ended the video with.
