Yesterday, Gavin Newsom tweeted that we should “continue the work” of Charlie Kirk and honor his memory. This morning, centrist columnist Ezra Klein published a column titled “Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics The Right Way.”
…
In one interview with Riley Gaines on Real America’s Voice, Kirk railed against “the decline of American men” and blamed it for transgender equality. Then he added that people should have “just took care of” transgender people “the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s and 60s.”
the article has several other quotes from him, but that one is pretty much enough to tell you all you need to know.
my lawyer has advised me to state that I believe murder is bad. also, fuck Charlie Kirk, and fuck anyone who’s working to whitewash his image.
Man Newsom is such a clown with this vanilla type statement. Bro is definitely gearing up to run for president
Lmao, as is his PR stunts about TRUMP, is going to help him win the election. and people in the cali, city subs are complaining hes ignoring CALI because of this.
The unfortunate thing about Newsom is I respected him as San Fran mayor. Not sure where he went off the rails.
Well, kirk got took care of the way his people would have taken care of people.
And, the 2A was used just the way he wanted.
Everyone should rejoice!
Gavin Newsom said that? Yikes
Newsom launched a podcast earlier this year.
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.
and it was a very friendly interview. Newsom said he “completely aligns” with Kirk on trans issues:
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.
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.
Yeah, I’m not gonna vote for him
There is nothing centrist about supporting his hate.
“The decline of American men” simply means these fucksticks are pissed they don’t just get whatever they want. I have no issue with D/s, but that’s a consent thing, not a default.
Like, my ex-wife still wears my substantial (1.5kg) wedding collar 14 years later, but I still respect her agency. And I did most of the cooking while we were together.
There is nothing centrist about supporting his hate.
the only mention of “centrist” in the paragraph I quoted was “centrist columnist Ezra Klein”
so I’m not really sure what your point is. are you saying Ezra Klein isn’t a centrist, but instead farther to the right?

Absolutely not. I don’t subscribe to the concept of not speaking ill of the dead.
If they wanted that, they shouldn’t have been an asshole in life.
This very unAmerican person once said
We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.

ALL THE MSM, and bbc are trying to sanewash charlie kirk. they know hes responsible, and the msm are responsible for the rise in right wing populism.
Let’s stop using the term “MSM” – it’s the purchased corporate media, not “mainstream.”
And the BBC has that in its name. Hasn’t been the British Broadcasting Company in decades.
Who raised this asshole?
