I never said Gavin Newsom was Trump's right hand man nor did I repeat any right wing talking points.
I merely stated that Gavin dislikes transpeople, uses the "women's sports" dog whistle, and has said the Dems need to drop transpeople to win.
He can be anti trump and a transphobic bigot at the same time. And he is
It’s pretty hyperbolic to say Newsom’s stance is “the same as the far right.” The far right is pushing outright bans on gender-affirming care, forced outing of kids, bathroom bans, and even criminal penalties. Newsom, by contrast, has signed laws making California a trans sanctuary state, protecting student privacy, expanding gender-neutral IDs, and safeguarding trans prisoners.
You also said he went on Charlie Kirk to talk about how much he hates you. You never said which part. Did you just hear about the interview and jump on some anti Newsom band wagon or what did he say specifically that you construe as hatred?
