Mother of Gregory Giusti, Man Accused of Threatening Nancy Pelosi, Blames it on Fox News

Eleanor Giusti, mother of man accused on threatening Nancy Pelosi, blames Fox News for getting him "worked up."

Just blame right wing extremist behavior on Fox News, right? Well, the mother of Gregory Giusti, who was arrested for threatening Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, told ABC7 her son has a history of mental problems and blamed Fox News for getting her son worked up. She also said she doesn't think he would be capable of carrying out the threat and has never owned a gun.

Giusti was arrested Wednesday afternoon for threatening Nancy Pelosi over recent healthcare legislation. Eleanor Giusti said, "Greg frequently gets in with a group of people that have really radical ideas and that are not consistent with myself or the rest of the family, which gets him into problems. "I say Fox News, or all of those that are really radical, and he, that's where he comes from."

Funny, Fox News and rightwing wingnuts Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity would never say they are spewing vitriol that will incite some people.
