I don\u2019t know if he even knows this, but he\u2019s given so many people hope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tBefore, she also took aim at Newsom, reading some of her past posts on X about the governor as Kirk laughed. \u201cIt only gets worse from here for you, buddy,\u201d Minaj said. \u201cIt\u2019s the end of the road for you, my love. Get on the nearest jet ski and let that beautiful hair blow in the wind. It will make you happier than this race that you will not win. Enjoy life.

Haha. Not even a trans ADULT would run on that. Normal adults wake up &amp; think they want to see HEALTHY, SAFE, HAPPY kids. Not Gav. The Gav Nots. GavOUT. Send in the next guy, I\u2019m bored.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tAs Minaj has also appeared to align herself with Trump administration officials and policies in recent weeks, Kirk also asked about her reasoning for speaking out about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/politics\/\" id=\"auto-tag_politics_1\" data-tag=\"politics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">politics<\/a> now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cI just got tired of being pushed around,\u201d she replied. \u201cI have something inside of me that\u2019s stronger than what\u2019s out there.
