On Tuesday evening, California Governor Gavin Newsom took to Twitter to blast the Tennessee GOP.
His tweet read:
“The GOP’s playbook in Tennessee:
1) Kick out peaceful moms.
2) Keep the guns in the room.
3) Continue to do nothing to stop children from being gunned down and slaughtered.”
Many accounts went on to blast Newsom in the replies for his own state’s track record.
“It’s like you didn’t even see what happened to the protesters in LA? You know, in the State you supposedly governor,” one user replied.
On Tuesday in LA, parental rights activists clashed with left wing counter-protesters over LGBT curriculum in schools. Videos posted by The Post Millennial showed arrests being made as a result of the confrontation.
The Post Millennial reported, “A group entitled Leave Our Kids Alone was responsible for organizing the pro-parental rights event, and stands against the ‘indoctrination,’ ‘sexualization’ and ‘grooming’ of children in schools.”
Newsom’s tweet was originally in reference to another tweet by Shannon Watts which had a video of a woman being escorted away from the Tennessee House subcommittee by a state trooper. Watts gave the following commentary towards the video:
“Tennessee House subcommittee members had state troopers physically remove gun safety activists who quietly held signs from a hearing. We bow down to this woman who – visibly shaking – said: ‘You will have to drag me out.’ Moms will win.”
Although the events leading up to the incident are not yet clear, the woman who was removed from the room is seen holding a sign which she refused to put down. House Republicans passed a set of rules for the special session that limits the number of people allowed to enter the capital and prohibits signs and banners in the house gallery.
Earlier this year Representatives Justin Jones (D) and Justin Pearson (D) took over the house floor using a blow horn to protest the lack of gun control following the covenant shooting. It is believed by some that the rules for this special session were passed to prevent a similar event from recurring.

Newsom is a buffoon, and his failed state of California shows his ideas and opinions are useless, just like he is.
Newsom has the most lenient laws for chronically violent criminals, he needs to fix his state. And stay out of Tennessee State business. His state has the most restrictive gun laws. But then Criminals don’t have to obey the laws. Many in Tennessee have had gun permits for years. Never had to draw a weapon. Until Memphis criminals started invading my County and committing violent crimes.
Commiefornia has its own big list of problems. So Newsome should focus on his own hell hole.
Coming from from a Newsom Refuge…Those without their own house inorder should not speak of others’ houses. He is by in large the worst governor of CA I ever lived under. I moved solely based on the fact that CA had no hope of redemption under the rule of imbeciles like Newsom. I proudly wear my 3 stars and look back at CA and ask why are so many people leaving? And…FYI it’s mostly the higher paying tax base. very quickly the state will be in a bad place. I can testify that crime is much higher in CA, but it is not prosecuted, so it is not recorded in the statistics, thus why they can claim they have low crime…It’s a LIE!!!!
As the old saying goes, people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. This guy is the biggest tyrant that ruined my home state, I hate him for that but I’ll be damned if he tries ruining TN with his Pelosi family mafioso tactics!
Hopefully he doesn’t run for president because they seem to find a way to cheat their way in .. he wasn’t elected he was selected..
