California First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsomunloaded on reportersat a Sacramento press conference about Planned Parenthood — accusing the mostly female journalists of inflicting a “horrific war on women” by not asking on-topic questions.

The shocking rant was part of a Siebel Newsom press blitz Wednesday as the wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom was featured in aglossy Marie Claire profilethat discussed her marriage, activist documentaries and First Lady bona fides — in which her powerful husband confessed she’d be “extraordinary” in the role as he teases a run for president.

“I think she’d be extraordinary in that role, even if she married someone else and they ran for that office. So forget me is all I’m saying,” gushed Newsom, who is expected to launch a 2028 White House bid.

The couple appeared at the press conference together Wednesday to announce “urgent legislation” to grant $90 million to Planned Parenthood after President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill cut federal funds for the reproductive care nonprofit.

But theself-appointed First Partnerhijacked a Q&A session to scold reporters for asking questions on topics such as the troubled high-speed rail project and his visit to the Munich Security Conference.

Wow—Jenifer Siebel Newsom—CA’s First Partner and Gov’s wife— scolds California Capitol press corps for not asking on topic questions at a Planned Parenthood press conference.“You don’t seem to care.”Most of the journalists in the room —repping AP to NY Times —were women.pic.twitter.com/I59M0Kvl0j

“I find it incredulous that we have Planned Parenthood here, and women are 51% of the population, and the majority of these questions, all of these questions have been about other issues,” Siebel Newsom said.

“This happens over and over and over again. And we wonder why we have such a horrific war on women in this country and these guys are getting away with it. Because you guys don’t seem to care.”

The admonishment didn’t go over well with KCRA reporter and president of the Sacramento Press Club Ashley Zavala, who noted in a follow-up video that questions at press conferences are frequently off-topic.

“A setting like this is one of the few opportunities where the California Capitol press corps get the opportunity to ask Gov. Newsom questions. So often times in settings like this, they are off topic,”Zavala said.
