California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized the National Rifle Association after the gun-rights group called him a hypocrite.
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized the National Rifle Association after the gun-rights groups blasted him for his remarks on the Second Amendment during a television interview.
"Gov. Newsom made that statement while flanked by at least four armed guards," Amy Hunter, the NRA's director for media relations, told Fox News Digital on Tuesday."That is the definition of hypocrisy." In a Wednesday tweet, Newsom responded, saying:"People were just gunned down at a dance club and their workplace -- and THIS is your response," he said, referring to the Monterey Park shooting and another in Half Moon Bay on Monday where seven people were killed at their workplace."I look forward to the day your trash organization is obsolete.
During his interview, Newsom commented on gun rights, while noting that congressional lawmakers have not made any inroads on addressing access to firearms, despite the proliferation of mass shootings in recent years.
