'It's offensive': Ex-Fox News host Megyn Kelly slams sudden cleanup in San Francisco ahead of Joe Biden's meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: Former Fox News star Megyn Kelly addressed the sudden cleanup in San Francisco ahead of the big Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit where President Joe Biden is also set to hold a high-stakes meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Kelly was joined by hosts of the 'Ruthless' podcast – Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook to discuss cleanup in the city and California Governor Gavin Newsom admitting it’s “all just for show.”
The veteran journalist claimed that the city “doesn’t care about its residents” and that is what makes it so “offensive”
Megyn Kelly lashes out at San Francisco city for cleaning up ‘just in time’ for Biden-Jinping meet
Megyn Kelly played a local news report that explained how much time and energy San Francisco invested in “making sure the city shines” ahead of welcoming its high-profile visitors.
The report confirmed that “it’s noticeable how clear the streets look” and “how few homeless encampments there are on major thoroughfares.”
One of the residents interviewed for the piece remarked that the bottom of his shoes “look clean.”
As per the report, all of this was done “just in time for the 20,000 high-profile CEOs and heads of state coming into town.”
Taking the report into consideration, Kelly furiously remarked, “Unbelievable. Gavin Newsom and San Francisco Mayor London Breed cleaned up the city just in time for the Chinese leader to show up there with Joe Biden. They’re important, but the actual residents of San Francisco can pound sand.”
Kelly also played a clip of Newsom addressing the press and admitting that it’s “true that they’re just cleaning up this place because all those fancy leaders are coming into town”
After listening to Newsom’s admission, Josh Holmes, one of the hosts of the 'Ruthless' podcast, said, “I am just going to thank Gavin Newsom for proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that it’s not that they can’t clean up the cities in America, it’s that they choose not to.”
Kelly then told her viewers that she finds this act by the city of San Francisco completely “offensive”.
She added, “Guess what? Most of us don’t live in a pigsty day to day. We have some small clutter to clean up. It’s not a complete overhaul of where we choose to raise our children.”
“That’s what you need in San Francisco. He doesn’t give two s**ts about the children. He doesn’t care about them at all.”
Internet joins Megyn Kelly in slamming California Governor Gavin Newsom
One angry netizen took to the comments section of Kelly's video and expressed their opinion about the cleanup.
They wrote, “The fact that they were able to clean the city up so completely and quickly is evidence that they've always been able to, but deliberately chose not to.”
Another social media user said, “He is worse of a human being than I thought pay all these taxes for nothing!!”
“When Newsome walks through San Francisco, the LINGERING SMELL of Hair Jell follows him. I think the years of Hair Jell has gone to his brain!!!” said another.
A user pleaded, “NEWSUM -- Please don't let this guy become president.”
"I am so sick of him. I wouldn't eat there or visit there and I used to live there. He makes me physically ill,” another user stated.
