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.

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

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.

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?
