Gov. Gavin Newsom accuses Fox News of "creating a culture" that led to attack on Paul Pelosi

SAN FRANCISCO -- Gov. Gavin Newsom partly blamed Fox News for fueling the vitriol against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul, who was attacked by an intruder with a hammer at the couple's San Francisco home last week.

"I've seen the dehumanization of Nancy Pelosi," Newsom told CBS News' chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett in an exclusive interview on Saturday. "I don't think anyone's been dehumanized like she has consistently. Now I watched this one guy, Jesse Watters or something on Fox News. What he's been saying about Paul Pelosi the last five, six months, mocking him consistently. Don't tell me that's not aiding and abetting all this. Of course it is."

"They're sowing the seeds, creating a culture and a climate like this," Newsom said. "I mean, look online. Look at the sewage that is online that they amplify on these networks and in social media to dehumanize people like Nancy Pelosi and other political leaders."

CBS News reached out to Fox News and Watters on Monday and had not heard back by 5 p.m. ET. Watters said on his show on Monday night that Newsom "thinks if you mock a Democrat, it puts him on a target list."

I'm sure David DePape was a regular watcher of Jesse Watters.

Major Garrett used to work for Fox News.

He is saying that the stuff Jesse Waters was saying about Paul in the summer lead to this.

But everything I’ve read indicated that this guy went to the home to see Nancy.

Which is it?

So remember, don’t criticize Democrats. But you can say that MAGA Republicans are extremists and Trump colludes with Russia.

The opposite.

CNN and MSNBC have bashed Trump voters.

More importantly, Biden and his fellow Dems plus Liz Cheney and Pelosi did worse.

The false attacks on Trump voters could cause violence. Maybe look in the mirror.

Bill Clinton took some responsibility for OKC bombing. How about you Gavin. Your state. Your criminal. Your rhetoric. Your party.

The libs are so clueless they still believe that Fox News is conservative, and fair and balanced.

This is like that fake Mexican, Beto, accusing Gov Abbot of being responsible for Uvalde.

The Bee called him a Giant Turd.

No one is better at demonizing the opposition than Gavin. He is running ads in California denouncing “extreme Republicans” who want to “end our democracy.” It’s a preview of his 2024 run in which I expect he will run on a platform of promising to outlaw the GOP and shut down Fox News. I’m only half-kidding.

When given the official narrative they will go down with the ship repeating that narrative.

What took ya, Newbie? Several days to get your stories straight?

“Straight”? Hardly an appropriate word to describe your pal Paulie

DePape supposedly lived in one of KamelToe’s yellow school buses the past two years. I don’t think he was watching FoxNews
