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.
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.
Who was Charlie Kirk again?
Didn’t he run that Spinning Points USA junkmail operation or whatever?
He was all about the TP. For his bunghole.
I think.
Dude with the huge head, tiny face, and leaky neck.
i think she was captain of the enterprise
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
Honestly it is a bit nice to have such a blatant self proclamation of who to avoid like the plague and keep an eye out for
They’ll show you in plenty of other ways, don’t worry.
Kirk can rot
Ironic that his last spoken word was “Violence.”
Eat shit, Kirk.
Fuck that guy
Already done, mate
Did he disagree with you politically or something, why so much hate?
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.
The pink plate would have been cute
It looks like he’s giving the arrow a handjob
Katie finally gets off her lazy ass and actually does something useful for once? Color me surprised.
is this a valid license plate?

A Fred Hampton license plate would be pretty sweet
That illustration makes it look like Charlie has a patriotic devil’s tail.
“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.
AZ vanity plates are, iirc, always raising money for non-profits. They are trying to say that TPUSA is somehow “only an educational non-profit” as part of this. I hate them so much.
