We all know that California Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to be the Democratic nominee for 2024. He’s essentially already campaigning against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and allocated $10 for his “Campaign for Democracy” to tour the country and see firsthand the right-wing assaults on freedom across the nation (ignoring the fact that California has banned state travel to half the states in the nation of legislation it doesn’t like).
Hillary Clinton also wanted to be president, and she managed to piss off half the nation by putting them in “baskets of deplorables.”
For Memorial Day, Newsome tweeted out this cartoon (we’re not sure who the cartoonist is) of your typical conservative with guns in easy reach of the kids but books just too far away. You know dad’s a conservative because he has a USA pen holder and an American flag on his desk, which has been known to trigger leftists.

Since that gets cut off:
The cartoonist forgot to put an “assault rifle” on the wall.
It's Memorial Day, dude.

This is a weird thing to post on Memorial Day

There's a good chance I've read far more books than the average progressive.

Nice straw-man

Comical though it may appear, in a break-in life-or-death situation, a book isn’t what you need immediate access to.

Gavin doesn’t have anything to say on Memorial Day about the brave US warriors who sacrificed all for our freedom.
He’d rather admonish his political opposition because he only thinks of himself.

My daughter reads 3 grade levels ahead, wears out librarians and can shoot the wings off a fly at 100 yards.

Tone Deaf Newsom.

I like guns.
And I've probably edited more books than you ever read since you have so little time to do so in between sessions of nonsensical pontification and grifting.

See how the guns are secured and the books are not

Tone deaf, elitist scumbag.

Is this your Memorial Day message Gavin?

Again, it’s a nice strawman having the guns within easy reach like that. Hopefully, the kid’s parents have educated him on gun safety; maybe he’s been to the range with his dad and is actually a good shot. It’s a shame he can’t reach “Gender Queer” and “This Book Is Gay” so he could learn about eating poop and hooking up with adults on Grindr.
