Arizona’s Democratic Governor has turned down proposals for a new state license plate featuring Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, saying it would not “bring people together.”
“Charlie Kirk’s assassination is tragic and a horrifying act of violence. In America, we resolve our political differences at the ballot box,” Governor Katie Hobbs said in a statement Friday. “No matter who it targets, political violence puts us all in harm’s way and damages our sacred democratic institutions.
“I will continue working toward solutions that bring people together, but this bill falls short of that standard by inserting politics into a function of government that should remain nonpartisan.”
Right-wing commentator Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at an event on the Utah Valley University campus, in Utah on September 10. He lived in Arizona with his children and wife, Erika Kirk.
I guess it was worth a shot. :-D
I mean, it brought at least two people together.
Meanwhile in Alabama like 1 out of 5 cars sport the “Don’t Tread on Me” AL vanity plates, which totally brings the community together.
Arizona Senator Jake Hoffman, who co-sponsored the bill, wrote: “Even in the wake of a global civil rights leader — an Arizona resident and her own constituent — being assassinated in broad daylight for his defense of the First Amendment, Hobbs couldn’t find the human decency to put her far-Left extremism aside simply to allow those how wish to honor him to do so.
Charlie Kirk a “global civil rights leader”? Pull the other one, it has bells on.
They are really trying to milk this as much as they can
They’re desperately relying to turn Kirk into Hoarst Wessel.
These are the people that are STILL bitching about statues of the traitor loser Confederates coming down. I wouldn’t be surprised to see one of these asshats propose that his mug is put on currency or Mt. Rushmore.
I’m still making my way though that Unhumans book, and they slip at least one (so far) grievance about that in there, not to mention many grievances about BLM, the poor buttmad babies.
In America, we resolve our political differences at the ballot box,
Do we though?
They used to, though there won’t be many opportunities in the future so they may have to find another way.
Yeah, no shit.
Might as well have a Hitler memorial license plate.
Or more to the point, a Horst Wessel one.
If they want to unite people how about license plate that reminds us of the Epstein files? Shortly before his death Kirk got local about them and about Israel.
i have an awl in my EDC. also an adjustable spanner. every single one i see, i’m putting an appropriate hole in. if i have to take it off the car and put it back on, i’m still doing it. no matter what state decides to make these atrocities.
I’d just take a red sharpie to it.
maybe red nail polish? and some clear coat if we have enough time
I kind of like it.
¡Yo tambien! The perspective lines really are giving a post polite society vibe. I like the artist’s interpretation of the og BJÖRK’s famous line “fountains of blood…”. This shit deserves to be in MoMA!
Amazing how they try to deify this fucking idiot
Willing to bet dollars to cents more than half of them never even knew who he was before his neck geyser.
Who was Charlie Kirk again?
Dude with the huge head, tiny face, and leaky neck.
Didn’t he run that Spinning Points USA junkmail operation or whatever?
He was all about the TP. For his bunghole.
I think.
Funny because he looked way more like the other guy in this image
I think of Cornholio every time I see a mention of TPUSA.
i think she was captain of the enterprise
We are
The governor of Arizona rejecting this is awesome and surprising. I have long hoped the right wing element gets booted from Arizona, manly to protect the beautiful landscapes and species that so many in the state don’t mind destroying.
Hole in the Rock is so heartbreaking. It could be gorgeous without every godsdamned surface covered in sharpie. also george hunt defaced the park with a pyramid and no friend of woodrow wilson is a friend of mine.
“I will continue working toward solutions that bring people together, but this bill falls short of that standard by inserting politics into a function of government that should remain nonpartisan.”
I was almost sure that I’d find someof those “Don’t Tread On Me” or other political plates in their offerings but they indeed do not offer party affiliated plates. It’s sad that I was surprised. Pleasantly surprised, but surprised nonetheless.
is this a valid license plate?
