California Gov. Gavin Newsom sat down with CBS News Chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett over the weekend and offered his candid assessment of the factors behind this week’s attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which left him in the hospital after being assaulted with a hammer at their San Francisco home.
“I’ve seen the dehumanization of Nancy Pelosi,” Newsom told Garrett. “I don’t think anyone’s been dehumanized like she has consistently.

But they are, Biden and Pelosi, they are. But they don’t care. The death march that they take doesn’t matter to them. They’re servants and if they lose a few on the way, they’ll get more servants.”
Watters’ Fox News show has been winning its 7 p.m. time slot among cable news networks.
“They’re sowing the seeds, creating a culture and a climate like this,” Newsom maintained in his interview, which is set to air on CBS Evening News with Norah O’Donnell Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. ET. “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.”
