Gavin Newsom has called out Donald Trump for golfing through the government shutdown.
The 79-year-old president has golfed on both weekends since the government ground to a halt on Oct. 1.
The shutdown has left 750,000 federal workers furloughed, and Trump has taken the opportunity to carry out mass layoffs. His budget goon Russ Vought gutted entire CDC departments in a Friday-night “massacre.” The next day, Trump was photographed hitting the links at his Virginia club.
Newsom on Sunday reposted the photo to slam the president for pursuing his usual weekend pastime amid a government crisis.
