There was extremely sad and maddening news to report earlier when it was learned that Charlie Kirk had passed away after being shot at a campus event in Utah today. It's been a sickening day. 

While many Democrats will eventually try to make this about "gun violence" instead of what it really is, California Gov. Gavin Newsom had one of the least self-aware posts from a politician so far today. 

Here's Gov. Newsom's post after Charlie Kirk was shot today but before it was reported that he'd died: 

That's a good message taken at face value, provided nobody has paid attention to Newsom's rhetoric and posts this year. 

Take ALL the seats, governor: 

Mocking as assassination attempt is just hilarious! As long as the person doing it is a Democrat and the person shot was a Republican who the TDS-addled loathe.

That dude and his staff supporters along with the "Press Office" account recently mocked the assassination attempt on a presidential candidate to try and dunk on Trump. 

The Dems really hope nobody notices their hypocrisy.

Not long ago Charlie Kirk was interviewed on Gavin Newsom's podcast and it was a friendly chat but at some subsequent point Newsom decided that more extreme rhetoric was in order now that he's obviously decided to seek the Dem nomination in 2028. 

Editor’s Note: The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda and domestic lunacy.
