Newsom Says Ex-Wife Kimberly Guilfoyle 'Fell Prey' to Culture at Fox News
SFgate ^ | Feb. 14, 2023 | Alec Regimbal

During a recent interview on CNN's "The Axe Files" podcast, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said that his ex-wife Kimberly Guilfoyle was a "different person" back when the two were married, and that she ended up becoming a right-wing personality because "she fell prey" to the culture at Fox News shortly after she began working there in 2006.

Newsom's comments — made on the podcast hosted by David Axelrod, who served as a senior advisor to former President Barack Obama — represent a break from the cursory remarks he typically makes when asked about his former spouse. Since their divorce in the early 2000s, Guilfoyle has become famous for her roles as a Fox News host and as an advisor to former President Donald Trump on account of her dating Donald Trump Jr. When asked by Axelrod about her apparent transition from a supporter of progressive ideals to a conservative firebrand, Newsom didn't hold back.

"She's got a prosecutorial mindset, she always had that. She's whip-smart and she fell prey, I think, [to] the culture at Fox," Newsom said. "In a deep way, she would disagree with that assessment — she'd perhaps suggest she 'found the light.' Obviously, we have contrasting points of view."

Ultimately, Newsom said, Guilfoyle's political 180-degree turn can be chalked up to her "ambition" and "pride" getting the better of her, after previously working for left-leaning prosecutors Terence Hallinan and Kamala Harris. Newsom said Guilfoyle moved to New York to start her job as a host of the program "Both Sides" on Court TV shortly after Newsom was elected mayor of San Francisco, and the rest was history.

It’s amazing, isn’t it? When intelligent people get exposed to the truth, they will change their minds.

She’d be pretty dumb if she blew her way to the bottom... Gavin Newsom isn’t exactly the top though, so she has more blowing to do.
