California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized U.S. Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday amid the spate of shootings that occurred in the previous three days that left multiple people dead. Newsom said he had not heard a single word or message of condolence from the Republican leader. He also blasted some judges for “rolling back the laws” that were established on gun control in the state. He stressed despite the shootings in the state, “gun safety works,” but that they need partners including the House of Representatives to take action.
