I gotta be honest… Jesse Watters is one of the very few news personalities at the Fox News Channel that I can watch for more that 30 seconds at a time.
One of the reasons I do enjoy Watters is because he manages to get under the skin and live rent-free in the heads of both the Lefticrat media and certain unelected bureaucrats.
Case in point would be CNN, TYT, Yahoo News, and Fauci himself flipping out for “using violent language” while simultaneously admitting that Watters spoke figuratively and not literally in regard to confronting Fauci face-to-face.
As noted by Quint Forgey of Yahoo News (emphasis mine);
Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, on Tuesday called on Fox News to fire host Jesse Watters for targeting him with violent rhetoric at a conservative conference earlier this week.
“That’s awful that he said that. And he’s going to go, very likely, unaccountable,” Fauci told CNN of Watters’ remarks. “I mean, whatever network he’s on is not going to do anything for him. I mean, that’s crazy. The guy should be fired on the spot.”
Speaking on Monday at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest conference, Watters encouraged attendees to rhetorically “ambush” Fauci with dubious questions about the National Institutes of Health allegedly funding “gain-of-function” research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
“Now you go in for the kill shot. The kill shot? With an ambush? Deadly. Because he doesn’t see it coming,” Watters said.
Fauci — who is President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser and has served for 37 years as director of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — on Tuesday described Watters’ remarks as “horrible.”
“The only thing that I have ever done throughout these two years is to encourage people to practice good public health practices: to get vaccinated, to be careful in public settings, to wear a mask,” Fauci said. “And for that, you have some guy out there saying that people should be giving me a kill shot to ambush me? I mean, what kind of craziness is there in society these days?”
Fox News defended Watters in a statement, saying: “Based on watching the full clip and reading the entire transcript, it’s more than clear that Jesse Watters was using a metaphor for asking hard-hitting questions to Dr. Fauci about gain-of-function research and his words have been twisted completely out of context.”
Oddly enough, when Madonna spoke of bombing the White House, the Leftie Media was silent.
When Johnny Depp wished John Wilkes Booth was back, media blackout.
When Kathy Griffin held-up a fake severed, bloody head of President Trump… well, you already know how the media reacted.
In the meantime, scumball David Schuster with TYT admits that Watters suggested that folks should confront Fauci “verbally.”
So, what’s the problem, Schuster? Sadly, this clown still has his panties in a bunch.
Interesting that the CNN propagandist admitted that Watters was using “rhetorical” language.
So, what’s the problem, CNN? Much like Schuster, panties are still in a wad.
