Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) credited Charlie Kirk for his work engaging young men on college and university campuses, saying he did a better job than the Democratic Party in the last election.
“What he was able to achieve in terms of organizing the campuses, engaging these young men, addressing their grievances, giving them some sense of hope, that someone cared, that they mattered, that they were seen, he was able to produce and organize around that in a deeply meaningful way,” he said on Wednesday at the Clinton Global Initiative’s annual meeting in New York City.
“The Democratic Party was nowhere to be found on the issue.”
Despite their political differences, the governor extended a podcast invite to the late Turning Point USA cofounder earlier this year to discuss the issues that young men face today. Kirk was the first guest on This is Gavin Newsom.
Newsom also gave credit to Steve Bannon, one of his early podcast guests, for galvanizing young men in the conservative movement.
“The reason I had them on [the podcast] was this issue,” he said, “because they have weaponized this grievance and electorally, they achieved remarkable results.”
