He didn't put it in those words. Instead, he said it was very "unfair" to demand that girls allow themselves to be beaten up and run over by men in "girls" sports.

An earthquake just hit the Democrats.

Gavin Newsom concedes it is unfair that males are competing against females in sport.

Speaking with Charlie Kirk, he said "I think it's an issue of fairness, I completely agree with you on that. It is an issue of fairness -- it's deeply unfair."

Newsom also agreed that the most politically destructive attack ads from Trump's campaign featured Kamala Harris' support for providing taxpayer-funded gender transition-related medical care for detained immigrants and federal prisoners.

"She didn't even react to it, which was even more devastating," Newsom said, suggesting upward of 90 percent of Americans disagreed with Harris' position. "Then you had the video [of Harris] as a validator. Brutal," Newsom added. "It was a great ad."

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."

Newsom's interview with Kirk was friendly, sometimes exceedingly so. He mentioned the influence Kirk and other MAGA-world figures have had on his 13-year-old son, distanced himself from the use of pronouns and the gender-neutral term "Latinx," called police defunding "lunacy," denounced "cancel culture" and agreed that there had been some internal issues in the leadership of the Black Lives Matter organization.

Newsom said Kirk was right when he contended that Republicans were capitalizing politically by painting Democrats as out of step with a strong majority of Americans on the issue. Earlier this week, Senate Democrats blocked a GOP-led effort to bar transgender girls from female youth sports.

"I agree with you," Newsom said. "We're getting crushed on it. Crushed. Crushed."

Democrats, including partisan Democrat Ron Filipovic, who claims to be a True Republican in the stinky mold of Noted Conservative David French, says he'll never vote for Newsom because he... platformed Charlie Kirk.

This is a standard True Republican position, as you all know. All True Republicans demand that conservatives be deplatformed. Classic Reaganism, really.

Gavin Newsom has come out against allowing boys and men in girls' and women's sports. Finally. The preference cascade against trans madness is accelerating.

Well, no: But there is a preference cascade among Democrats seeking to run in national elections, or statewide elections in swing states. You better believe that any Democrat in a safe district or blue state will continue to push Peak Trans policies.

For example: Leftwing podcaster and rich bitch Nepo Baby Emma Vigland went on twitter to laugh at the brain damage suffered by Payton McNabb due to having the ball spiked in her face by a man.
