Gavin Newsom Agrees With Right-Wing Charlie Kirk On Trans Athletes: 'Deeply Unfair'
HuffPost
“I revere sports, and so the issue of fairness is completely legit," Newsom said.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) broke on Thursday with his party’s general stance on transgender girls and women in sports, agreeing with right-wing pundit Charlie Kirk that their participation is “deeply unfair.”
Newsom hosted Kirk, founder of the conservative activist group Turning Point USA, on the first episode of his new podcast, “This Is Gavin Newsom.”
The 71-minute conversation turned to transgender identity when Newsom asked Kirk for “some advice” for the Democratic Party, as it appears to be flailing in the wake of President Donald Trump’s November victory.
“Get better ideas, Governor,” Kirk replied. “You have the opportunity to like, run to the middle, and seize this mantle.”
“You, right now, should come out and be like, you know what, the young man who’s about to win the state championship in the long jump in female sports — that shouldn’t happen. You as the governor should step up and say no,” Kirk said, referring to an Arizona high school junior.
