SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Gavin Newsom called out Republicans Tuesday for inaction on the issue of gun control, saying the party “won’t do a damn thing” in a series of tweets hours after a shooting at a Texas elementary school that left 18 children and one teacher dead.
“Who the hell are we if we cannot keep our kids safe,” Newsom wrote. “This is preventable. Our inaction is a choice. We need nationwide, comprehensive, commonsense gun safety now.”
The Democratic governor also reposted a tweet from the National Rifle Association that promoted former President Trump yesterday as a featured speaker at its conference in Houston on Friday, marking his sixth time speaking at the annual gathering.
