Fox News host Lisa Kennedy Montgomery (also known as “Kennedy”) recently committed a major on-air error, and is being roundly mocked for it on social media.

On Monday, Kennedy was criticizing California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) over his proposal to allow California voters to decide this November whether to get rid of the Golden State’s independent redistricting commission. Newsom floated the idea in response to Texas Republicans carrying out a mid-decade redistricting plan aiming to strip Democrats of five seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

“This is why California is a monoparty state. That’s why Democrats have a supermajority and, you know, that’s why they have two Democrat senators. That’s why they have a Democrat governor,” she said. “And it’s such a massive majority because of this type of redistricting, which is incredibly insincere.”

Many commentators, journalists and other experts took to social media to remind Kennedy that statewide elected officers like U.S. senators and governors are not impacted by redistricting efforts, which are confined to U.S. House districts. Progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen wrote: “Can anyone explain to me how California has 2 Dem Senators and a Dem Governor because of gerrymandering?”

“Um… how does gerrymandering impact the election of Senators and the Governor?” St. Mary’s College political science professor Todd Eberly tweeted.

“It was generally assumed you were smarter than to think a STATE WIDE VOTE is affected by how congressional districts are shaped or reshaped IN that state,” former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann posted to X. “It’s not one county, one vote.”

“She is very very dumb,” quipped Democratic commentator and 2024 Democratic National Convention delegate Kaivan Shroff.
