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.

The unfortunate thing about Newsom is I respected him as San Fran mayor. Not sure where he went off the rails.
