Greasy Gav strikes again.
While many politicians took the opportunity to remember and honor members of the military on Memorial Day, California Governor Gavin Newsom decided to tweet about guns.

The Golden State governor was immediately blasted following the post.
“A weird thing to post on Memorial Day. I wonder if Gavin Newsom asks his armed law enforcement, which he uses for security, where they store their guns and place their bookshelves,” Seattle radio host Jason Rantz remarked.

“I couldn’t believe how many people were tricked by an obvious AOC parody account, but then I thought this was from a Gavin Newsom parody account,” The Daily Wire’s Frank Fleming joked.

Five Times August frontman Brad Skistimas tweeted, “What the illustration isn’t showing you is that those books are filled with porn and propaganda designed to confuse young minds. Gavin Newsom wants your kids reading this.”

“California has the most mass shootings in the United States. California has the strictest gun laws in the United States. Can Gavin Newsom please explain this?” conservative influencer Paul Szypula commented.
Newsom later retweeted a more traditional Memorial Day message from the account for the office of the governor.
“On Memorial Day, we remember and honor the courageous men and women who laid down their lives to protect our cherished freedoms and way of life. In memory of those we have lost, flags will be flown at half-staff on all state buildings and grounds,” the tweet read.
