Governor Newsom Mocks Prayer After MN School Shooting, Gets (Rightfully) Dragged
The backlash on X was swift and unapologetic. Dogs were even dragged into it.
By Megan Barth, August 29, 2025 2:02 pm
The mass shooting at a Minnesota Catholic school by a transgender person evoked many emotions and prayers from Americans and, unfortunately, recycled political talking points from opportunistic Democratic politicians and their media sycophants.
Enter Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA), who is cosplaying President Trump on social media while he travels and campaigns on an unannounced 2028 presidential run.
In a post on X, Governor Newsom, or one of his millennial social media staffers, thought it appropriate to mock the mourners and victims of the mass shooting in DFL-controlled Minnesota.
The post was ratio-ed and the internet is forever.
The backlash on X was swift and unapologetic. Dogs were even dragged into it.
Did Newsom tank his presidential campaign as many users on X claim?
According to a poll by Emerson College, Newsom is the latest cause de jour of the Left, much like the vandalism and fire bombings of Teslas coinciding with the “No Kings” astroturf protests. Since July, Newsom leads in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, surging 13 points since June.
Newsom’s ascension on the national stage, as indicated in an early poll, cannot override his political record–especially as governor of the purported “4th largest economy in the world.”
In a press conference yesterday, Newsom accused President Trump of using “alternative facts.” Yet, to claim California is the 4th largest economy in the world distorts the facts by relying solely on GDP not Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), as Globe contributor Richie Greenberg notes:
A PPP-based analysis, which accounts for (and balances) cost-of-living differences internationally, reveals California’s economy isn’t the giant Newsom portrays—and his refusal to acknowledge this distorts the state’s status.
Using PPP, California’s economic ranking slips significantly. In 2021, when adjusted by the Regional Price Parity (RPP) index from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, California ranked as the 11th largest economy globally, and by 2022, it fell to 12th.
Twelfth is respectable, but claiming California is fourth is an “alternative fact.”
Greenberg adds:
Newsom’s cherry-picking of nominal GDP also obfuscates and sidelines California’s policy failures. His administration has presided over skyrocketing housing costs, burdensome regulations, and energy policies that drove up prices—factors that hurt affordability. The PPP adjustment exposes this: California’s economic output, while massive, doesn’t translate to prosperity for our residents. By purposefully ignoring PPP, Newsom avoids confronting how his policies contribute to a cost-of-living crisis that pushes middle-class families to flee the state. Businesses continue leaving as well, with many public outcries on the way out.
A majority of Californians and businesses are unhappy, but moving companies (and red states) are happily raking in the cash. The Globe recently reported:
Every nationwide report has bad news for California whether it’s CEOs or U-Haul rentals for moves to other states. As we reported in July, California lost 361,623 residents and $20,915,598,000 in income to Texas.
California made the top of Allied Van Lines Company 2024 Allied US Migration Report unfortunately for outbound migration.
Facts aside, Newsom’s new and “Trumpian” social media campaign is getting the attention he craves. Newsom hasn’t deleted the tweet, but he also hasn’t fixed California.
The backlash to his tone-deaf mockery of prayer during a school shooting should serve as a sobering reminder that hundreds of thousands are leaving California and millions of Americans are leaving the Democratic party.

“mockery of prayer”? Nope – not even close.
The point is obviously that doing nothing but sending “thoughts and prayers” every time kids get murdered is not going to stop kids getting murdered.
Mockery of religion is what Trump indulged in that day he held the bible upside down. Maybe Donald is actually a Satanist. Would explain a lot.
Trump’s most recent “swearing in” did not utilize a Bible.
That was because Justice Roberts began the oath before Melania Trump was able to get in place. She was walking over while Roberts began the oath.
President Trump did not hold the Bible upside down. Fake news. Newsom was dismissive of the families, victims, Catholics and Christians with his condemning comments about prayer. Prayer is important to these people. Newsom was disrespectful. Newsom owes the families an apology. As for your false statement about President Trump holding the Bible upside down. Here is the proof President trump did not hold the Bible upside down. Propaganda media did their job getting haters to believe their lie:
From WRAL
We scrutinized a series of images from the Associated Press as well as raw video from NBC News, and the truth is clear: Trump held the Bible right-side up.
The Bible he held up had no writing on the front cover, so to viewers who couldn’t see the spine, it may have looked like he was holding it upside down and backwards. But here are a couple AP images that clearly show the spine right-side up.
President Trump holds a Bible while standing in front of St. John’s Church on Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C. on June 1, 2020.

Just stop, Robert…
Every single post you make here reinforces the fact that Trump lives rent-free in your mind, and all you have is your intense dislike of him…
We get it, now just stop digging the hole you’re digging…
What a sad and empty life you must lead….
Robert (aka Roberta) G. Martinengo is one of Hair-gel Hitler Newsom’s bitchy attack queens who needs to lay off the toxic hormones that has created a mentally ill monstrosity prone to offing innocent children. It’s part of the criminal Democrat’s insane “gender affirming care” agenda. Roberta knows all about being a Democrat satanist who inverts truth and who is failing miserably trying to deflect for Newsom and prop him up.
Watch Hair-gel Hitler Newsom’s sleazy Weinstein trollop “First Partner” wife Jennifer crying crocodile tears about the deportation of criminal illegal aliens (who are the Democrat thug mafia’s primary voting base) but she won’t shed a tear for innocent children who are offed by crazed trannies driven to madness by toxic hormones and mutilation given to them as part of the Democrat’s insane “gender affirming care.” The criminal Democrat thug mafia who controls California are satanic monsters.

Maybe keeping kids of antidepressants and not encouraging them to change their original sex from birth should help. Please don’t bring guns into the picture, guns are a inanimate object just as cars are. We never try and get rid of cars when there’s a DUI case. There is a real problem and it isn’t the gun, knife, or car, it’s what we have done to the family structure.
He once again shows his evil tendencies! In this case I am not surprised he went with his awful natural instincts!
Other than being cruel, he can no longer hide that he is a sociopath! Those poor children were murdered by a psychopathic transgender. Hours later Newsom thinks it is honorable to mock Christians and their faith!
Prayer is powerful.
God is omnipotent.
You would think a so called self proclaimed Catholic would encourage prayer for the families!
Newsom is incapable of empathy and that explains his poor governance as well. People have suffered under his reign as California Governor.
Data Republican said it best:
“Sneering at children being shot at in church, perfectly on brand for the man that defends illegal child slave labor on marijuana farms.”
Side note: The First Partner sure loves showing off her cross necklace while she rants about illegal immigrants “ being hunted in the field”. 😣 so do they live it or just fake it when it suits their cause?
May the Lord heal the broken hearted.🙏🏻
You say “Prayer is powerful”, yet America leads the world in school shootings, by far.
Megan Barth seems more upset Governor Newsom supposedly “mocked” prayer, than that kids died.
Maybe she has been hiking in the Nevada sun too often without a hat.
Says the guy who wishes for our current President to die in office!
Who is the disturbed one in this scenario?
I hope this comforts you sir but I have prayed for you. God heals.
God is Good all the time.
You have no idea how much Trump is despised around the world.
Suffice it to say, if prayers worked, he would have been six feet under many years ago.
Still, it can’t hurt to try again:
Dear God, please call Donald home to H E L L ASAP.
Amen.
Hell?
God shall not be mocked sir.
It is clear you are in need of spiritual healing.
You say you have no ill intent or would not lay a hand on a person but you sir have a hardened heart towards those who do not think like you.
May God soften your heart.
One Fed Up Cali Girl is correct that God will not be mocked Newsom is not the first so called leader that has attempted to be larger than life only to fall. You may recall back in 2023 the Turkish Member of Parliament who was mocking Israel have a heart attack that he eventually died of. https://nypost.com/2023/12/14/news/turkish-lawmaker-who-had-heart-attack-slamming-israel-dies/
Mr. Martinengo I would advise you to carefully consider who you are asking God to bring damnation upon. Donald Trump might just be God’s anointed man for the hour.
I have read that Gavin Newsom is Natalia Getty’s “godfather”, a transgender man with a revolver tattooed on the L forearm.
Interesting @Skunked
So this domestic terrorist attack hits close to home for Gov Gav.
One who accepts that role has no legal authority but there seem to be elements which might cause any spiritual guide to reflect upon. In my opinion, as governor he is ardently supporting a cultural shift which takes the next generation on the wrong path.
Anyone who would invite Gavin Newscum to a funeral at this point is pretty stupid.
Newscum is as mentally ill at the trans people he tries to normalize. If any close friend or relative of a Democrat dies, send them a note, “I would send you my thoughts and prayers, but you’re a Democrat.”
This is interesting. Newsom’s religious affiliation is Roman Catholic, a fact he consistently affirms. His Catholic upbringing, included education at Jesuit institutions like Santa Clara University and École Notre-Dame des Victoires. Yet he doesn’t believe in prayer. How about that! This must be a new Roman Catholic religion I have not heard of.
A quiet conversation with God is utterly terrifying to a Marxist.
“A quiet conversation with God is utterly terrifying to a Marxist.”
It would be pretty concerning to a psychiatrist as well.
If you think you are having a ‘conversation’ with God, you’re mistaking faith for certainty.
I would like to have a conversation with Karl Marx, but that’s no longer possible – he died.
Tell your psychiatrist to up your meds because you need help. You want to be a card carrying communist enjoy! You want to be an atheist enjoy! You want to allow a dude with a bad tan run on the never ending hamster wheel in your empty head enjoy! You want to live in pure delusion enjoy! Do us a favor stay have a way from everyone. You’re come off like the type of person that who gets sexual gratification from adolescent genital mutilation.
There is a battle for all souls and it seems we are in the heat of it! This tragedy has revealed those who mock the authority of God, the creator. Part of that mockery is the belief that children are born in the wrong body.
Matthew 13:19 When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one …
… the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown … their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The seed that fell on the …
Prayer and action are not mutually exclusive. Prayer is incredibly healing and sustaining for families and those who witness. If Newsom were actually practicing the religion he espouses, he would recognize this fact. Also, it is not God that “allows” these tragedies; it is the ABSENCE of God that causes these tragedies. This absence opens a window to the heart and mind for evil to enter. People returning to God is what is healing and preventive for all. Those who remain confidently in the power of prayer and God are a real threat to others who do not (and who are likely secretly envious). We are not apologetic — we sincerely believe because it is ingrained deeply in our souls.
Of course Robert (aka Roberta) G. Martinengo, one of Hair-gel Hitler Newsom’s bitchy attack queens, was one of the first to post here trying to defend mentally ill trannies who are prone to offing innocent children after being driven to madness with all the toxic hormones and mutilations that are part of the criminal Democrat’s insane “gender affirming care” agenda. Hair-gel Hitler Newsom and his bitchy attack queens are evil satanic monstrosities.
Whew! You must get tired repeating the same stupid lines. At least my silly comments are original – you probably ask grok to churn out more nonsense. Maybe you ~are~ grok.
One thing for sure – Melania is picking out a stunning new black outfit for the Big Day!
She is no longer counting the days until her freedom – she is counting the minutes.
Oh look, Hair-gel Hitler Newsom’s bitchy attack queen Roberta is triggered. Again.
Law enforcement and the Secret Service should be monitoring Roberta’s posts closely because Newsom’s bitchy attack queens are prone to violence stemming from all those hormones they take as part of the Democrat’s insane “gender affirming care” agenda.
Meanwhile Hair-gel Hitler Newsom’s sleazy Weinstein trollop “First Partner” wife Jennifer cried some fake crocodile tears about the deportation of criminal illegal aliens. The Newsom’s and the rest of the criminal Democrat thug mafia no doubt profit greatly from their human trafficking scheme and the exploitation of innocent migrant children who have been lured into California under the guise of California being an open border sanctuary state. Democrat satanists need a steady supply of innocent children who are easily disappeared for use in their satanic rituals and the production of Adrenochrome that they indulge in.

Seven months after the California fires, new information is emerging about the lack of support and the failure to get money into the hands of wildfire victims by Hair-gel Hitler Newsom, LA’s Mayor Karen Bass and the rest of the criminal Democrat thug mafia. Meanwhile, a new leader has risen from the ashes of the Pacific Palisades, Actor Spencer Pratt, who is determined to take on California’s corrupt governor over the failures he has witnessed.

Thank you so much for this information, TJ. Nightmare.
It’s difficult to follow all of this non-progress and Kafkaesque red tape because it literally makes me sick, but I will be following Spencer Pratt now as he takes on Gruesome
Almost everyone in Pacific Palisades is a hard core Democrat. They give large sums of money to Democrat candidates. They hold fund raisers for Democrat candidates. They voted themselves into this situation. Will they start voting Republican? I doubt it.
Democrats don’t care if your house burns down. They don’t care if you can rebuild either.
Amen @Annette
So very well said. Thank you for posting.
God has been with me every step of my life.
He wants joy in every heart but not all will come to him.
This world in which we live is full of temptation and yes unforeseen tragedy. With God all things are possible. Jesus is the redeemer.
To each and everyone, believer and non believer may today and all future days bring blessings upon you.
Those who mock prayer should be aware that they are essentially mocking God. God chooses when and how to respond to prayer but when he does evil gets destroyed. Demonrats should check the Bible to see what happens to evil when God acts. They should also keep in mind that God is particularly harsh towards those who harm children.
Make no mistake! Donald Trump is Gods chosen man for this time. Wish death on him and God will deal with you.
CW,
Your biblical truth is much appreciated.
Matthew 18:6
But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
That’s right. Prayer is not enough. It is long overdue that we treat gender dysphoria as the mental illness it is. Trans people are unstable and violent. And, of course, it is the Democrats who are trying to normalize gender dysphoria, and promote it in schools. The entire Democrat party is filled with nutcases.
The Trans Army – there seems to be a recruitment going on. Hesitate to say they are being manufactured then recruited, but it sorta looks like it. We must get to the bottom of this before it happens again.
