Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.
he has hosted right wingers on a pod-cast, not surprised, he represent the status quo of the racist old guard DNC(which was then a republican lite before they kinda trickled into the DNC.
if you were launching a podcast, you’d put a lot of thought into the first episode, right? it introduces the show to people, gives an example of what the rest of the episodes will be like.
Newsom’s guest on that first episode was Charlie Kirk.
He then later said that he “agreed” with Charlie Kirk that it was not right transgender athletes should play and that he was “completely aligned” with Charlie Kirk on this issue, blaming a law put in place before he became governor: “It turns out in 2014, years before I was governor, there was a law established that established the legal principles that allow trans athletes in women’s sports. The issue of fairness is completely legit. I completely align with you, we have to acknowledge it.”

When Newsom platforms someone like Charlie Kirk, he isn’t fostering a “discussion” on transgender people in sports—he is handing a known hate monger a microphone to denigrate an already vulnerable community. That’s the real objective. Newsom isn’t engaging in open dialogue or debate; he is recalibrating his political stance to make targeting transgender people seem palatable, selling that shift to his base as a strategic necessity. And he’s doing it by giving one of the most notorious anti-LGBTQ+ extremists a seat at the table.
Newsom praising Kirk like this wasn’t surprising at all, if you’ve followed any of the critical coverage about him. he’s been trying out his “post like Trump” shtick which had a bunch of MSNBC viewers clapping like trained seals, but it can’t cover up his fundamental character. he’s allegedly a Democrat, but he’s also a fucking vile excuse for a human being. he completely lacks any principles or morals and will do or say anything if he thinks it will help him get elected president.
Gavin Newsom said that? Yikes
