The California Charlie Kirk loved

This may surprise some, but Charlie Kirk loved California. 

He of course despised the way it is governed, but whenever we visited the Golden State together, he would inevitably say, at least once, “This state is so beautiful. It’s such a shame what they’ve done to it.” His love, however, went far deeper than just the weather or the scenery.

Charlie genuinely loved the people of California, especially the old California families who still populate many of its best communities. 

When he spoke with conservatives there, he did not need to explain the dangers of runaway leftism. The brave conservatives who remained understood all too well what radical socialist, open-border, tax-and-spend policies could do to a beautiful place. 

They had seen progressive governance sow chaos and leave behind deficits, fraud, high crime, and decline. Charlie admired that they were already on his wavelength.

On one trip, after traveling from a deep red state and landing in California, Charlie casually remarked, “The Californians have already been radicalized. They’re like me!” He meant it as the highest compliment. 

Not radicalized in a violent or sinister sense, but awakened and fully aware of what the activist wing of the Democrat Party was capable of and willing to do with power.
