Oh, definitely. He's showing that he can throw vulnerable minorities under the bus out of disgusting cowardice.
Party leadership loves shit like this. He's kissing ass.
Meanwhile, Pritzker's out there doing the exact opposite.
Is this really a break with democrats though? The democrats have shown time and time again that they're not allies and have repeatedly espoused anti-queer/anti-trans legislation. They've never stood up for us when it's unpopular or politically inconvenient to do so, which is when it really matters.
THIS a million times this. Democrats and liberals in general are not and have never been "allies" to queer and lgbt people, and never will be.
No surprises there. He's a toad
Kirk challenged Newsom, a likely 2028 presidential hopeful, to speak out against AB Hernandez, a transgender high school track star from California whose triple jump event in the women’s competition is drawing fierce backlash from the right. Newsom said he has four children of his own — including two daughters — and noted that both he and his wife participated in college-level sports, she in soccer and he in baseball.
“I revere sports, so the issue of fairness is completely legit,” Newsom said. “And I saw that — the last couple years, boy did I [see] how you guys were able to weaponize that issue at another level.”
Kirk challenged Newsom over his use of the word “weaponize,” and Newsom replaced it with “highlight.”
