Fox News Pundit David Webb Blames Kamala Harris and Oprah Winfrey for Threats Against Trump Nominees
Fox News pundit David Webb accused Vice President Kamala Harris and Oprah Winfrey of being “guilty” in connection with bomb threats made against several of President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees. The allegations came during Wednesday’s episode of Outnumbered, where the panel discussed the threats targeting at least five of Trump’s appointees.
Emily Compagno highlighted the seriousness of the situation, noting that the threats appeared coordinated. Webb agreed, calling for a strong public response. “This is a deliberate effort by whoever’s doing it, and it’s coordinated,” he said. “This really needs to be a response from the American people that we’re not gonna tolerate this.”
Webb then turned his criticism toward Democrats, invoking high-profile figures. “The threat to democracy, the threat to your life, Oprah Winfrey saying it’s the end, you’ll never have a vote again,” he claimed. “They’re all guilty up and down the level, whether it’s Oprah Winfrey, all the way down to Kamala Harris.”
Co-host Julie Banderas echoed Webb’s sentiment, linking Harris’ stance on international issues to domestic tensions. She argued that Harris’ focus on Palestinian civilian casualties had overshadowed concerns for Israeli lives, contributing to hostility toward Republicans.
“This particular message, the pro-Palestinian message, is exactly what I was talking about,” Banderas said. “Kamala Harris has been so strong in the Democratic Party, so strong in crying out about the deaths and the civilian casualties in the Palestinians, but not so much the Israelis. And that’s why you see the hate across the country and the antisemitism because of the message.”
Banderas further asserted that Democrats had metaphorically placed “bullseyes” on Republicans by fostering divisive rhetoric. “This is exactly why they’re targeting Republicans,” she concluded. The discussion on Outnumbered reflects broader tensions in the political landscape as Trump prepares to take office. While the origins of the bomb threats remain under investigation, the accusations against Harris and Winfrey add to the ongoing polarization between political factions.
Critics of the Fox News segment have pointed out the lack of evidence directly connecting Harris or Winfrey to the threats, calling the claims inflammatory. Nonetheless, the rhetoric underscores the heightened emotions and partisan divisions that continue to define the political climate in the United States.
