Gavin Newsom’s office thought they were going to stick it to an X user who replied to a post from the governor claiming it was a “FACT” that “states with the most comprehensive gun safety laws have lower gun death rates.” Instead, they made an embarrassing mistake and as of this writing still haven’t corrected it. The reply simply pointed out to Newsom that it was a “FACT” that “Democrat run states are s***holes.” That prompted his press office to post four old photos of what they claimed were California…but in reality one was in Nevada.
FACT: Democrat run states are shtholes

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr pointed out the mistake, along with plenty of others.
Oops! @GavinNewsom, you posted a picture here from the Republican run state of Nevada. 😂☠️😂

Sand Harbor, NV is a great state park though. https://t.co/f1WSoeDMzr
Many also shared the poop map and other images highlighting the state's homelessness problem.
Newsom can highlight California’s natural scenery all he wants. These pictures show his contribution to California’s Democrat-created scenery.
