Fact Check: California Governor Newsom calls Vance's comment intentional disrespect
What We Know
The claim that California Governor Gavin Newsom referred to comments made by JD Vance as "intentional disrespect" lacks direct evidence from reliable sources. JD Vance, a U.S. Senator from Ohio, made remarks during a visit to Los Angeles that were criticized by local leaders, including Mayor Karen Bass, who described Vance's comments as disrespectful (NBC Los Angeles). However, there is no record of Governor Newsom explicitly using the term "intentional disrespect" in relation to Vance's comments.
Analysis
The context of the claim revolves around a visit by JD Vance to Los Angeles, where he made remarks that were met with backlash from local officials. Mayor Bass's criticism of Vance's comments suggests that they were perceived as disrespectful, but it is unclear if Governor Newsom echoed this sentiment or used the specific phrase "intentional disrespect." The sources available do not provide a direct quote or statement from Governor Newsom that confirms this claim (Fox LA).
The reliability of the sources discussing the incident varies. While NBC Los Angeles and Fox LA are established news outlets, the absence of a direct quote from Governor Newsom in these reports raises questions about the accuracy of the claim. Furthermore, the lack of coverage from more comprehensive sources such as major newspapers or official statements from the Governor's office adds to the uncertainty regarding the claim's validity.
Conclusion
Needs Research. The claim that Governor Newsom called Vance's comment "intentional disrespect" cannot be substantiated with the available evidence. While local leaders criticized Vance's remarks, there is no direct attribution of the phrase to Governor Newsom. Further investigation into official statements or reliable news sources is necessary to clarify this matter.
