Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death. But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

You can stand against political violence - I do. You can call for a kinder politics - I do. You can condemn killing over speech - I do. But calling for people to continue Kirk's work is too far. This was not Charlie Kirk's legacy.

Kirk promoted this white nationalist conspiracy theory, which alleges that demographic change in the United States is a plot to replace white Americans. In August 2025, Kirk also accused a Black Democratic lawmaker of being part of an "attempt to eliminate the white population".
