Media Manipulates Pelosi Into Attacking Newsom

Nancy Pelosi ATTACKS Top Democrat – Total Betrayal

(ConservativeInsider.org) – Context is vital to any situation, from interpreting a book correctly to properly responding to a peer’s comments on national television. In an awkward exchange, one mainstream media station set House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) up for failure by feeding her an out-of-context quote from California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), leading her to attack the leader of her own state without a legitimate reason.

On Sunday, May 8, Speaker Pelosi met with Margaret Brennan on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” During their discussion, Brennan quoted some of Governor Newsom’s recent words at Planned Parenthood’s Los Angeles headquarters. Brennan told Pelosi that Newsom made remarks about the Democratic party being complacent and that he was specifically referencing abortion rights.

However, Brennan left out the greater context of his quote where he was actually speaking about “a spectrum of issues” and criticizing moderate Democrats like Joe Manchin (D-WV) for failing to support the liberal agenda. The CBS host left out that Newsom even complimented Pelosi for her work in the House.

This poor setup led Pelosi to attack Newsom, declaring that she has “no idea why anybody would make that statement unless they were unaware of the fight that has been going on.” The SFGate shared more about this awkward back and forth on Twitter:

CBS, a mainstream media source that should be presenting facts to Americans, presented Newsom’s comments out of context, thus producing an attack from Pelosi. While the California Governor did criticize his own party, CBS misrepresented him and caused quite the dramatic turn of events.
