Gavin Newsom sure spends a lot of time worrying about other states. You'd think with the dump California has become Gav would be more worried about his own state but, nope.
Governor Hair Gel is obsessed with denigrating other states because his state has become a sh!thole ... and he has played a large role in that decline ... so he is desperate to deflect attention away from his many, pathetic failures.
Probably because he's running for president.
Yeah yeah yeah, we know, we're not supposed to feed the conspiracy theories floating around that have Kamala Harris taking Feinstein's seat now that she's passed on and Biden appointing Newsom as VP but ...
For example, he thinks South Dakota is more dangerous than California when it comes to guns.
Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) ~ South Dakota has a 59% higher gun death rate than California.
Governor Kristi Noem (@GovKristiNoem) ~ While California Gov. Newsom infringes on the 2nd Amendment, South Dakota respects our God-given rights. Our firearms industry is thriving!
If you’re a CA gun manufacturer or law-abiding gun owner,
@SDGOED is ready to help you make the move for Freedom.

Maybe he just wanted to dunk on Noem for clicks and taps.
Probably.
Luckily, this account showed up with stats and MATH to embarrass ol' Gav. Take a look:
Jeffrey R.J. La Tour (@Thecommander236) ~
Population of South Dakota: 895,376 (2021)
People of California: 39,240,000 (2021)
Ratio: 1:44.8
Per the CDC:
Gun deaths in SD (2021): 128
Gun deaths in CA (2021): 3,576
Ratio: 1:27.9
Homicides in SD (2021): 45
Homicides in CA (2021): 2,495
Ratio: 1:55.4
Well, you are technically right, Governor, gun deaths per capita is higher in South Dakota. However, most of those deaths are accident or suicide. Meanwhile, your state HEAVILY outmatches SD in Homicides per capita. Maybe you should deal with your crime problem ...
