GOP, Democratic leaders react to Charlie Kirk shooting

Gov. Gavin Newsom
Several prominent Democrats also condemned the shooting, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
In an X post Wednesday, Newsom wrote, "The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form."
Newsom invited Kirk as a guest on the first episode of his new podcast in March, where the two discussed Kirk’s opposition to trans-identified male athletes competing in women’s sports and other topics.
