Error I noted in the transcript - “I’m a big Yankees fan” should have been part of the quote from the previous paragraph (it follows the Roger Maris reference). Ken himself is a Mariners fan.

And it should also be noted that Ken's political views should be no secret to anyone who's followed him on social media over the years.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
