California Gov. Gavin Newsom blamed Fox News host Jesse Watters for contributing to the "dehumanization" of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Last week, Pelosi's husband was attacked with a hammer by an intruder who allegedly broke into his San Francisco residence.
"I've seen the dehumanization of Nancy Pelosi," Newsom told CBS News correspondent, Major Garrett, last week. "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."
On Monday, the "Jesse Watters Primetime Live" host responded to Newsom's criticism.
"Let's set the record straight: Paul Pelosi got drunk and nearly killed someone with his car, and then the Napa County DA made it go away. We reported that Paul Pelosi got special treatment and mocked him for trying to bribe officers," Watters explained.
"If anything, Gavin Newsom has done more to aid and abet this attack on Pelosi than anybody. David DePape is a homeless criminal and an illegal alien. DePape overstayed his visa for years — committed crimes," added Watters.
