      Newsom is a piece of shit, but that quote is out of context. The ‘work’ wasn’t literal. It was ‘working to use your platform to reach across thé ailes’ or some kind of horse shit. If he absolutey had to say something, offer condolences to the family and shut the fuck up. The whole make sure you please everyone is going to leave everyone pissed about something

        Which kirk literally never attempted to do. But he certainly told newsom what to think about trans people. Which to a centrist is the same damned thing as reaching across the aisle.
