Hosting his brand new podcast with Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon, the some of the most evil propagandists of the 21st century, was more extreme than we’d ever seen of him. He basically capitulated to a bunch of their talking points and acted like their positions weren’t previously too radical to platform amongst Democrats. It read to me as an attempt to not get targeted by upcoming violent purges and jail time, but after that failed he moved on to this cringe “own Trump on socials” strategy.
On the other hand, he might not have failed to join them, instead acting explicitly as controlled opposition.
When did he “attempt to join them”? Not defending slimy Newsom, but what?
