Newsom is already facing blowback from his own party after comments he made in the debut episode of his podcast "This is Gavin Newsom."
Newsom waded into the issue of transgender athletes after Kirk mentions the recent news of a high school trans athlete in California who won a girls' triple jump event.
Further into the conversation, Newsom talked about a Trump campaign ad that ran ahead of the 2024 presidential election, which highlighted then-Vice President Kamala Harris' previous support for gender-affirming care for incarcerated people.
Newsom's comments seem to run counter to the governor's longstanding support of the LGBTQ+ community.
"Sometimes Gavin Newsom goes for the Profile in Courage, sometimes not. We woke up profoundly sickened and frustrated by these remarks," said Assemblymember Chris Ward (D-San Diego) and state Sen. Caroline Menjivar (D-Burbank) in a joint statement.
"His comments are all the more harmful in the context of the continued attack on the rights and dignity of transgender people happening at all levels of government across the country," the group said in a statement.
Newsom's personal social media pages have been promoting the podcast, including reposting a picture of him and Kirk with the caption "We had quite the chat!"
