U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D- Pa., is shredding his fellow Democrat, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, for allegedly smearing investigative journalist Nick Shirley, who has been exposing massive fraud in the Golden State and across America.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Shirley launched his latest video Monday evening uncovering astronomical fraud in California, focusing on alleged fake hospices in Los Angeles and fraudulent daycare centers in San Diego.
“Minnesota was big but California is even bigger,” said Shirley. “We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.”
Late Monday night, Newsom’s press office posted a creepy A.I. image possibly depicting the 23-year-old Shirley as a pedophile, as Shirley is shown packing numerous cameras at a daycare saying, “Hey, can I see your kids?”

During a Wednesday episode of the “All-In Podcast,” Fetterman hammered Newsom, saying: “Why can’t you celebrate any journalist or any activist doing that? And Governor Newsom put out a disgusting video implying that he’s a pedophile or he’s that … why? That’s kind of a smear.”
“You want to disagree, but to imply that someone in one of the most gross kinds of terms like that – it’s like, hey, shouldn’t we agree, eliminate all the waste? If it exists under my purview, let’s eliminate it. Let’s call that what it is. I’m not going to call someone or imply that you’re a pedophile or you’re going after kids in gross ways.”
“Fraud can happen on both sides, but when it’s identified, I don’t care if it’s in a Democratic state. We should all just acknowledge maybe there is a problem here.”
WATCH:
“This is part of the thing. If you tell voters that you’re wrong or hey, it’s no problem, there’s nothing here, then you lose. If you want to turn that into like the border, with Democrats in 2023, we do that at our own peril,” Fetterman concluded.
Welcome to the hospice capital of America…
The problem? They don’t actually exist.
This hospice made a million dollars and fled the scene. Meanwhile, their fellow hospice fraudsters drive luxury cars…

In Shirley’s 40-minute video, the journalist said: “It’s sad to think about it. Here in the United States, we are literally being defrauded by people who are taking advantage of old people, young people in daycares, disabled people with autism clinics, and no one is doing anything to stop it. So I think it’s time we stand up to these fraudsters.”

Reacting to the video, Newsom’s press office also criticized President Donald Trump, saying: “WOW. Nick Shirley finds potential FRAUD in DONALD TRUMP’s FEDERAL Medicare system! Gavin Newsom imposed a moratorium on new hospice licenses beginning in 2021.”
