UPDATE
Just when we thought politicians in California couldn't get any more horrible, Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom proved us wrong. Apparently, the reason he was absent from Cpl. Singh's funeral yesterday was because he was too busy watching the Sacramento Kings play basketball.
So fun to join the @warriors and @SacramentoKings last night with the family -- what a game!! pic.twitter.com/zmwaVKcT19

If this doesn't tell you where his priorities lay, nothing will.

No picture or video can really do justice to the amount of first responders who wanted to honor Corporal Singh. This is just a fraction of them. pic.twitter.com/UXCElSv1qK

Attorney General Xavier Becerra was rumored to make an appearance but that has not been confirmed.
But where was Gov. Jerry Brown or Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom? What about Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris?
You're telling me that not one of those four found Cpl. Singh's sacrifice worthy of being in attendance?
Absolutely disgusting.
