California Gov. Newsom is running full-page ads in Texas newspapers trolling Republican Gov. Abbott to highlight a new California gun law modeled on the states restrictive abortion law.

Both the Texas abortion restriction and the new California gun measure are seen by critics as encouraging"vigilantism." The American Civil Liberties Union opposed Newsom's bill by warning it could “escalate an ‘arms race’ ... by setting up bounty-hunting schemes on politically sensitive issues.”

He also said the California measure was written in a way that “forces the Supreme Court to reconcile their decision" on Texas' law, when it decided not to block enforcement of the law in December.All this national action has led many to wonder if Newsom is indeed eyeing national office. “In no way, shape or form this has anything to do with that. Period. Full stop. Add six or seven exclamation points,” he told NBC News.

His supporters have been thrilled with his out-of-state activities, and he said “the ads pay for themselves” with the extra contributions they generate, while noting that was never the intention of running them.

Beto orourke on steroids lol. It’s ok to kill innocent but not ok to kill the guilty . It’s both or none hypocrite

rgarymccoy In response, Abbott plans on running ads in California encouraging women to come to Texas and become baby factories.

Democracy politics has always been about petty trolling and revancheism instead of cooperation, communication or accomplishment.

Newsom should be the 2024 Democratic nominee for President.

Smart tactic to get the attention of Dems/ Independents outside of CA.

Maybe he could fix crime and housing cost and homelessness in California... since that's his job.

🤦🏻‍♀️

JBPritzker this is what you should be doing here in IL Take the TX law, substitute the word ABORTION with GUN PURCHASE and made it IL law

awesomeness

He is showing the Democratic party that calling a Madam farmer a Madam farmer is what we must always do, In a politically correct way of course.

Who pays for those ads in other states?

PersephoneTulon A leader with compassion for humanity. Cares enough to try. 💙

yogaskidogs Good for him!

Good job newsom

Goo

BirrenbachC No one wants this commie puke 🤢

Oh great Governor Abbott will probably now make every person over the age of 18 buy a gun he’ll pass an executive order

Because for a $30k ad in a local newspaper he can get millions worth of free publicity from corporate media as we see here. So long as he keeps saying he’s not running for president this strategy will continue to work.

Newsom is virtue signaling to every Californian that left for Texas .. what a stooge

Dude has no shot in a general if he’s the nominee

Looks like someone is looking for the nomination in 2024

Could this guy be any more obvious about his intent? Do California taxpayers know who's footing the bills Newsom is running up on campaigning in Florida and Texas? He can't keep crime out of his own state why would we want him for President in 2024?

Trolling other states seems kinda jealous. Let’s talk about how good things in Cali are going….oh wait…

He probably cannot define AR
