Former President Donald Trump’s social media platform Truth Social is picking up a major new user.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) decided to create an account to address what he claims are “Republican lies.”
In a video posted on the platform on Thursday, Newsom said, “I know we’re all on this platform in search for the truth.”
“But the truth is I’ve not been able to find a simple explanation for the fact that we have a red state murder problem,” he continued.
Newsom added: “Eight of the top ten states for the highest murder rates happen to be red states. So the question is simple. What are the laws and policies in those states that are leading to such carnage?”
Watch the video below:
According to Fox News, Mississippi is the state with the highest homicide mortality rate.
Louisiana, Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Maryland, Illinois, and New Mexico, round out the top 10 states with the highest homicide mortality rate.
Meanwhile, California comes in at the 31st spot.
Setting aside the fact that Newsom probably has his own answer for this question, it is nice to see a Democrat deciding not to shun Trump’s platform and leave users to their own echo chamber.
A lot of people on Truth Social probably aren’t too happy about Newsom deciding to venture into that space to share his views — as of Friday morning, that was the only post he has made, so it’s unclear how many posts he will be making.
