We were shocked, SHOCKED to observe California’s Leftwing Imam, Gavin Newsom, rushing to exploit the mass murder in Monterey Park in his current lusting for the 2024 Presidential election.
The mass murder at a Monterey Park was yet another opportunity for Newsom to use another pound of gel to slick back his hair and hurry to visit victims’ families in the hospital. Rather than tell his fluffy lapdogs in the media to give him some space and privacy … you know, something a decent human being would ask for when meeting with people directly affected by such an unthinkable tragedy … Newsom decided to go on the attack.
Now was it about Asian-on-Asian violence? Or about the mental health issues? Oh noes, Newsom attacked FOX NEWS.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) pulled no punches on Monday with his blistering critique of Fox News, which he accused of “not doing a damn thing about gun safety, not a damn thing for decades” while visiting victims of a weekend mass shooting at a Monterey Park ballroom dance hall in which 11 people were killed. (snip)
“It’s a disgrace what they say, what these people say every single night,” Newsom told reporters … “There’s xenophobia, they’re racial priming, what they have done to perpetuate crime and violence in this country, by scapegoating, and by doing not a damn thing about gun safety, not a damn thing for decades.”
French Laundry Gavin is as predictable as he is infuriating. In what universe does a cable news station cause a 72-year-old Asian male to murder other Asians and commit suicide?
What has Gavin Newsom done about the conditions that Democrat policies that have lead over the last decade to increases in crime and murder? Policies that include limiting law-abiding citizens’ rights to self-defense?
The 1970’s saying “The personal is political” was reframed by Obama’s unctuous, grasping Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel as “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste” and, boy howdy, has the pseudo-religious Left lived by it.
Just think about what the outcome in Monterey would have been if an Elisjsha Dicken was in attendance?
And Gavin didn’t stop with just attacking Fox News. In a rush of hubris, feeling he was in a safe space, Governor Hairgel attacked the Constitution.
“Nothing about this is surprising. Everything about this is infuriating,” he told “CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell on Monday. “The Second Amendment is becoming a suicide pact.”
“Suicide pact”. Oky dokey. Let’s leave aside for a moment Gavin’s political use of “suicide” in a case that was a murder-suicide, but his riff on the hoary-old phrase The Constitution is not a suicide pact* is a sure indication that he finds the Constitution more of a guideline than actual rules limiting government.
What is surprising is that Norah O’Donnell actually slipped the leash and challenged Gavin’s anti-2A polemic.
After California Governor Newsome called the Second Amendment a "suicide pact", CBS's Norah O'Donnell actually pushes back on him:
"But there's many people in this country that support the second amendment and are lawful gun owners." pic.twitter.com/pqUTmj7zG7

Whoa! Did we just witness an act of journalism? Imagine that! Yes, there are a little more than 100 million individual gun owners in America – for sport, for recreation and, yes, for self-defense. Newsom immediately back-peddled clarified he had “no ideological opposition” to gun owner ship BUT.
For Leftwing Politicians, there’s always a but when they feel their power is challenged.
California has the strictest gun laws in the nation. But those intent on crime don’t care. And Leftwingers don’t care either. The law-abiding being able to protect themselves is never a priority. Indeed, limiting the right of self-defense is more feature than bug.
Remember this as Gavin slithers across the country in his quest for the Oval Office.
*Trivia moment: the origin of the phrase “The Constitution is not a suicide pact” is Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson in his dissenting opinion in Terminiello v. City of Chicago in which SCOTUS held that Chicago’s “breach of peace” statute violated both first and fourteenth amendments. Jackson put “public order” above free speech. Sounds kind of familiar, eh?

Cameron says: Fine, Gavin. Push for a Constitutional Convention. Try to get enough states on board with repealing the 2nd Amendment. See how many governors and Congresscritters are willing to put their political lives on the line for you. It’ll be fun to watch.
370H55V I/me/mine says: Why do you think they need to follow the process? Their position is so virtuous that it need not be subject to debate or plebiscite.
Lloyd says: The Second Amendment is the only thing that stands between us…the people…and the government. If we lose that, we will be subject to RULE thereafter!
Look at how well Newsom is running California. How does he win elections? The answer is that the elites who run this country are crooked. Newsom’s job is to cover up the robberies for crooked people who are robbing the people of the state of California. In return, the elites finance his election campaigns, give him good media coverage, and help him steal some of California’s wealth for himself.
Why doesn’t Newsom like guns? Gun ownership gives Newsom an excuse for the increasing rate of violent crime. So, no matter how much gun control we have Newsom and his ilk will claim we need more. Fact is, however, so long as our southern border is wide open, guns will be flowing across it. Good citizens just won’t be able to buy a gun legally. Fanatical gun control advocates will just force everyone to use black-market weapons.
Can you imagine someone trying to burglarize your house? What if you catch the thief? What if you have to shoot him? Suppose the thief is armed. What if wants to rape someone, maybe even a child? Do you use a black-market gun with a silencer to kill the thief? Do you quietly dispose of the body or spend years in jail? Do you dissolve the burglar in chemicals and flush him down the toilet? Is that where this lunacy is headed?
Cameron says: It will get to “Shoot, Shovel, Shut Up” as a solution.
GWB says: Do you dissolve the burglar in chemicals and flush him down the toilet?
I’m pretty sure lye is outlawed in California. Or it soon will be, along with chlorine bleach.
As to rape, I believe the answer is “Lie back, my dear and think of England Newsom’s hair.”
GWB says: his blistering critique of Fox News
not doing a damn thing about gun safety
And why should that be something Fox News does? Newsom doesn’t understand how gov’t is supposed to work in this country, does he?
by scapegoating
Well, there’s the inevitable PROJECTION, again!
pulled no punches
Also funny that he “pulled no punches” for the leftist organ, but if, say, Ted Cruz were to do that, he would likely be “lashing out”.
the pseudo-religious Left
FIFY, Darleen.
“The Second Amendment is becoming a suicide pact.”
No, Noisome, it’s a self-defense pact against exactly the tyranny you espouse. So, hands off, before someone is forced to go John Parker on you.
there are a little more than 100 million individual gun owners in America
That’s a conservative estimate.
he had “no ideological opposition” to gun owner ship
Of course not. He still wants some people to own guns – like his bodyguards. Or the bodyguards of all the leftist moral pygmies in Hollywood. It’s not an ideological opposition to gun ownership, but to gun ownership by the wrong people.
And Leftwingers don’t care either.
At least the DAs don’t. Nor all those folks who can afford bodyguards.
“I carry a gun because carrying a policeman is too damn much work, and I can’t afford to keep him in donuts.”
