After Governor Newsom posted a video defending his gun control record,a critic responded harshly,calling Democrat-run states &#8220;sh**holes.&#8221; Instead of addressing the criticism with facts, Newsom&#8217;s press office replied by posting four scenic photos with the caption &#8220;sh**hole&#8221; to counter the insult. Though, one of the images used was from Sand Harbor, a popular beach located entirely in Nevada, not California. This mistake highlighted the disconnect between Newsom&#8217;s team and the actual state they were defending. The article notes that while California&#8217;s natural beauty is undeniable, many criticize its governance, and even Newsom&#8217;s social media team struggled to defend the state without mistakenly using imagery from a neighboring state. The piece suggests that rather than attempting to dismiss criticism with photos, Newsom&#8217;s office should focus on addressing California&#8217;s significant problems.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>When you&rsquo;re running one of the largest economies in the world into the ground, you probably don&rsquo;t have time to fact-check your vacation photos.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the official Governor Newsom Press Office account tried to clap back at a critic on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a> X.
