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.
Katie finally gets off her lazy ass and actually does something useful for once? Color me surprised.
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.
Well, it certainly brings a community together
They are really trying to milk this as much as they can
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.
They’re desperately relying to turn Kirk into Hoarst Wessel.
Yeah, no shit.
Might as well have a Hitler memorial license plate.
Or more to the point, a Horst Wessel one.
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.
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.
i think she was captain of the enterprise
is this a valid license plate?

“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.
