Rivals Blast Newsom For Being A No-Show After Birthday Party Massacre: ‘It Says A Lot’

[Conservative Angle]

​

Much of California has been circling the drain for decades under the influence of far-left politicians.

Nevertheless, some senseless acts of violence are shocking even for the Golden State.

And when Gov. Gavin Newsom opted not to visit the city where one such attack took place, his rivals on both sides of the aisle were quick to call him out on it.

As the Daily Caller reported:

Newsom’s office did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Riverside County Sheriff and Republican gubernatorial candidate Chad Bianco also criticized the governor, questioning why Newsom has not called for an end to the violence or demanded accountability.

“Why isn’t the leader of the state there saying that this absolutely must stop and that the perpetrators will be held accountable? As the governor of California, I absolutely would make sure that I was there. I would make sure that I’m there for the families and we will be doing everything we can to make sure that California is the safest state in the country,” Bianco said.

“This selfishness of our elected officials that they only do things that benefit themselves, and sometimes they don’t have the ability to sacrifice or sacrifice their own ambitions, his vacation or his political speech that he was going to give in another part of the country, because a community in California was suffering, it says a lot,” Bianco added.

He also received significant backlash on social media:

Dear Stockton,

We’re gonna let you finish your evening, but we just want to show you this is where your Governor Gavin Newsom was hanging out today in New York to hear himself talk, but can’t visit your city in a time of crisis. Yes we know Trump is a trash raccoon, but he’s… pic.twitter.com/9o9KmPFJZT

Three children are dead as is a 21 year-old after a mass shooting at a birthday party in Stockton, California.

As Gavin Newsom sits safely with his family in his $9 million home, he can’t even be bothered to address the massacre himself.

KCRA also covered the criticism he received from other gubernatorial candidates, including Democrats Tony Thurmond, Antonio Villaraigosa, Ian Calderon, and Betty Yee:

Villaraigosa would not criticize the governor directly but said, “I’ll tell you what I did when I was mayor: I always showed up.”

“The governor, I believe he should have gone down to Stockton,” Calderon said. “The mayor told me how horrible this is for her community and the fear of retaliation, and this is an area in the Central Valley that already feels like a fly over country.”

“I’m going to be reaching out to community leaders and offer my support and willingness to come there and if they find that helpful, I would like to do that,” Thurmond said.

Yee highlighted the importance of community partnership, stating, “It’s the partnership among all of us to be on alert that is going to keep the community safe.” When asked if she would have visited Stockton, Yee affirmed, “I would have, yes. Absolutely. When it happens in a community. The shock and trauma is going to be with them for a long time.”

Here’s a clip of some of the candidates’ reactions:

“The governor, I believe, should have been there.”

A handful of candidates running for CA Governor weighed in on Stockton mass shooting that killed four people and injured 13 others at a child’s birthday party.
