Fox News Co-Host's Quip About Paul Pelosi Sparks Fury: 'Sickening' (newsweek.com)
Appearing on Fox News' Jesse Watters Primetime on Friday, Campos-Duffy listed others who she felt should receive the Medal of Freedom including former President Donald Trump, billionaire Elon Musk for "caring about freedom of speech," and the U.S. Border Patrol.
Pete Hegseth, who hosts Fox & Friends Weekend with Campos-Duffy, praised his colleague's choice of suggested recipients, calling it a "great list" on Jesse Watters Primetime.
"But it's probably more likely to go to Paul Pelosi, Susan Rice, and [Democratic California Governor] Gavin Newsom," Hegseth saidFriday. "So, I think your list is correct but a little off brand for Big Joe." Rice was previously the director of the domestic policy council under the Biden administration after serving under former Presidents Barak Obama and Bill Clinton.
Campos-Duffy then quipped: "Well maybe Paul Pelosi needs the hammer instead of the medal," which was accompanied by laughter between the two.
