Gavin Newsom says we should HONOR Kirk!?!?



Gavin is getting dragged on Blue Sky for suggesting that we HONOR Kirk !!!

The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

This incident has a bad smell to it. Whoever took that shot had to have been a skilled marksman. CentralMass Sep 2025 #11

Newsom was winning me over, but this takes away that good will. Has he seen the racist, homophobic, misogynistic, transphobic shit this guy was spreading around? He was a Nazi, he was not anyone worth honoring.

You need to read between the lines. IMO Gov. Newsom is telling the repubs not to start more trouble and that violence isn't the answer.
