'Needs the hammer': Fox News host LAUGHS about attack on Paul Pelosi

‘Needs the hammer': Fox News host laughs about attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband

Alternet.org, May 4, 2024

During a recent segment on Jesse Watters Primetime, Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy cracked a joke at the expense of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-California) husband, Paul, in reference to an incident where he was hospitalized after a home invasion.

The Daily Beast reported that Campos-Duffy made the remark while discussing President Joe Biden awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the United States' highest non-military honor — to the former speaker at a recent White House ceremony. Other recipients included Team USA Gymnastics Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles, former Secretary of State John Kerry and a posthumous award for assassinated civil rights leader Medgar Evers, among others.

At one point, guest host Pete Hegseth and Campos-Duffy bandied about other names for hypothetical future medal of freedom ceremonies they felt were more deserving. Campos-Duffy's list included conservative singer Kid Rock, anti-transgender activist Riley Gaines, members of the U.S. Border Patrol and billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, for "absolutely caring about freedom of speech" (Musk's social media platform, X, punishes users for tweeting the word "cisgender" ).

"It’s probably more likely to go to Paul Pelosi, Susan Rice and Gavin Newsom,” Hegseth predicted, referring to the former Obama administration official and the governor of California presumed to run for president in 2028. “So I think your list is correct but a little off-brand for ‘Big Joe.’”
