As California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s presidential bid comes closer to reality, it turns out he might not be his worst enemy after all. The more his wife, Jennifer, gets in front of the cameras to spout her thoughts on a range of topics, the more voters are being turned off to the Newsom name in general. In a recent interview, she went off on a tangent that prompted a thorough rebuke from Megyn Kelly. According to the New York Post: “We’ve got to start with this nutcase, Jennifer Siebel Newsom… what’s going on?” Kelly said on Wednesday’s episode of SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show.” The conservative commentator seized on comments Siebel Newsom made in a past interview about a childhood tragedy. “She casually references the fact that she accidentally killed her sister… which I don’t think most people knew,” Kelly said. Kelly described the moment as jarring, saying: “Everything about that was a record scratch.” The former Fox News host was reacting to Siebel Newsom’s comments in a 2015 documentary in which she discussed her work interviewing incarcerated youth. “I told them about my own loss,” Siebel Newsom said in the film “The Mask You Live In.” “I lost my elder sister a few days before my seventh birthday, and I blame myself for her death.” Siebel Newsom drew a parallel between her experience and that of incarcerated juveniles, saying: “And I share that because they ultimately were accused of committing these violent crimes and sentenced for life.” The remarks also attracted attention on social media: Holy shit.
