"Almost 30% of Californians are homeless on any given night. 30%! she emphasized. At least one what? could be heard in the background, though it's not clear who on the panel spoke. Notably, along with Gutfeld, celebrity doctor Drew Pinsky, actor Zachary Levi, and Fox contributor Kat Timpf were also present. That is the largest margin by far, continued Tafoya."
"In an essential fact-check, CNN's Chief Washington Correspondent Jake Tapper wrote on Friday via X, California has a homelessness problem, with an estimated 187,000 homeless. California does not have 12 million homeless people."
"I can't think of anything scarier than Gavin Newsom. She went on to list an assortment of qualms she has with the governor including a population decline during his governorship, high gas prices, abysmal test scores, and the state's response to both last January's devastating Palisades Fire and the COVID-19 pandemic before landing on homelessness."
During a Thursday appearance on Fox's Gutfeld!, Minnesota U.S. Senate candidate Michele Tafoya made a dramatically inaccurate claim about California's homelessness rate, stating that almost 30% of Californians are homeless on any given night. When questioned by host Greg Gutfeld, she initially said 30%, then corrected to 28%, before being fact-checked by CNN's Jake Tapper, who noted California has approximately 187,000 homeless people, not the 12 million her claim would suggest. The actual homelessness rate in California is around 0.47%. Tafoya, a former NFL sideline reporter and podcast host, was discussing various criticisms of Governor Gavin Newsom, including population decline, high gas prices, test scores, and pandemic response.
