WOW! Jessica Tarlov Calls Jesse Watters a Fascist on Fox News, and He Doesn’t Deny It

The United States is currently undergoing what may be the most dangerous period of its historically brief experiment in democracy. The second occupation of the White House by aspiring authoritarian Donald Trump is proving to be a case study in how dictators take over free nations.

Jesse Watters, Fox News

Trump is using the playbook provided for him by the tyrannical despots that have preceded him. It’s a step-by-step instruction manual that lays out the process of undermining liberty and replacing it with oppression. Those steps include converting the military into a personal security force to protect the leader and persecute his enemies, suppressing the rights of free citizens to vote and engage in peaceful dissent, and clamping down on the free press in order to prohibit criticism and disseminate propaganda.

SEE THIS: HOLY CR*P! Trump Floats Executive Order to Dictate to TV Networks What They Are Allowed to Air

Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda, aka Fox News, remains the primary distribution center for Trump-fluffing bullshittery. And at the top of the list of slobbering sycophants is Jesse Watters, a co-host of Fox’s “The Five,” a program named for it’s four glassy-eyed MAGA cultists and one lonely liberal.

On that program on Tuesday Watters told a story that he seemed to think would present him in a sympathetic light. It didn’t. He expressed his shock at the way he was treated by a passerby near his home. But then he was surprised by the response from the one liberal co-host on the program, Jessica Tarlov…

Watters: I was walking today, in my neighborhood, on my street. This car comes throttling down and he looks me right in the eye. He was already angry and he sees me and I give him a wave. Cause a neighbor I thought. And all of a sudden he passes me, screeches on the brakes, rolls down the window and says, ‘F U fascist.’ In my neighborhood. I swear to god this happened this afternoon. And I’m thinking to myself, he doesn’t know I’m a fascist!
Tarlov: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.
Watters: Do I come across as a fascist?
Tarlov: Yes!

WHOA!!! On Fox News Jessica Tarlov just called her co-host Jesse Watters a fascist. And Watters didn't deny it. ??

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-02-11T11:02:59.009Z

Jessica Tarlov deserves credit for telling it like it is. She endures a great deal of abuse on that program as her rightist co-hosts constantly belittle and talk over her. But this time she managed to get some truth out and expose Watters to his face, and on his own show.

Still, you have to wonder why Watters was surprised. He seems like someone who would be used to being yelled at for being a fascist. However, in the retelling of this incident, Watters complains about the encounter saying that “He doesn’t know I’m a fascist.” To which Tarlov set him straight by pointing out that everybody knows. After all, he’s on TV everyday proving it.

What’s particularly notable about this exchange is that Watters doesn’t deny that he’s a fascist. In fact, his retort was not “Hey, I’m not a fascist.” It was “He doesn’t know I’m a fascist?” That’s how you phrase it when someone correctly assumes something about you, but you didn’t think other people could tell. For instance, if someone complimented your hairpiece, you might say “How does he know I’m wearing a toupee?”

So Watters is essentially confirming that he’s a fascist. Not that an objective person wouldn’t already know that. He always defends Trump’s most fascistic activities. Including deploying troops into American cities to suppress protesters, conducting regime change invasions of foreign countries, ordering his “Justice” Department to prosecute political foes, firing government lawyers and other civil servants who were not sufficiently worshipful of Trump, threatening the media with meritless lawsuits and even criminal actions, and Watters has been unreservedly supportive of Trump’s agenda of overt bigotry on the basis of race, gender, religion, and nation of origin.

So, yeah…Watters is a fascist. It really isn’t a very well kept secret. And Tarlov was right to point it out. Sadly, many Fox News viewers won’t care. But that’s only because they are fascists too.

Karl Rove Slams Trump on Fox News for Lying About the Economy and Ignoring How the Public Feel

The flagrant failures of Donald Trump are becoming so unwieldy and impossible to ignore that even the most hard core, right-wing Republicans are beginning to speak out about it. They are starting to recognize that dodging reality is going to have a more severe impact on the GOP’s electoral prospects than failing to suck up to Dear Leader Trump.

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

What’s more, the once MAGA faithful who are tenderly distancing themselves from Trump’s self-serving fantasies are doing it openly on Trump’s official televised Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. This emerging state of affairs is being driven by Trump’s horrendous agenda that includes deploying ICE thugs to attack American citizens, invading foreign countries, demolishing historic buildings, and even proposing tyrannical schemes to undermine democracy.

SEE THIS: Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

On Monday morning the longtime conservative political strategist, Karl Rove, was interviewed on Fox News in a segment about the economy. Host Shannon Bream introduced him by reading an excerpt from an op-ed allegedly written by Trump that was published this weekend in Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal. The portion that Bream read was a defense of his tariffs that was riddled with more of the lies that Trump has repeatedly told on this subject. When asked for his response, Rove said that…

“That piece in the Wall Street Journal is ‘the economy is great.’ That’s not what people feel. Last year we lost 70,000 manufacturing jobs. We lost 145,000 blue collar jobs…Blue-collar consumer confidence is at a record low since 1976 when they began asking the question.

“The top 20% of the American population is responsible for 75% of the GDP. The bottom 80% is responsible for the remaining 25% of the GDP. The lower income households are bearing a bigger burden of inflation because the things that they have to pay for, like rent and utilities, have risen higher.”

‘Last Year We Lost 70,000 Manufacturing Jobs.’Legendary GOP operative Karl Rove scolded President Donald Trump for continuing to boast about his economic record during an appearance on Fox News.

Mediaite (@mediaite.com) 2026-02-02T17:35:59.586Z

Rove is right. He is cogently explaining why the economy can appear to look decent by some metrics, but actually only works for the wealthy, but is terrible for most Americans. Furthermore, he is warning Trump and the Republican Party that failing to pay attention to how people are actually experiencing these difficulties is political suicide.

Unfortunately for Rove, he is barking up the wrong tree. Trump doesn’t know or care how people feel. He is dead set on telling them what they “should” feel. And in Trump’s mind they should feel that he is their lord and savior who is infallible and cannot be challenged, lest they be punished. In MAGA World, if Trump tells you that the economy is the best it’s ever been, then you are expected to nod obediently and acquiesce to the dictates of the cult, wherein only the leader will ever tell you the truth.

Trump is focused squarely on gaslighting the nation into believing that they are all as wildly prosperous as he is. And the truth is an irrelevant distraction that is being pushed by radical leftists. Even Trump’s choice of the Wall Street Journal as the vehicle for his propaganda is bizarre. He recently blasted it as “FAKE” news and “third rate,” when they published a verified story about his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

“The Wall Street Journal printed a FAKE letter, supposedly to Epstein. These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don’t draw pictures. I told Rupert Murdoch it was a Scam, that he shouldn’t print this Fake Story. But he did, and now I’m going to sue his ass off, and that of his third rate newspaper.”

Someone better be keeping track of all the lawsuits that Trump is filing, or threatening to file. There must be dozens of them aimed at journalists, lawyers, universities, celebrities, and politicians. You have to wonder where he finds the time to screw up the country so badly, and to make so many private deals to enrich himself.

Apparently the part of Trump’s brain that handles grift and corruption isn’t affected by his obviously worsening dementia. Which is getting so bad that he is openly proposing to rig elections by illegally taking them over and nationalizing them, which is prohibited by the Constitution. Not that Trump cares about that old rag.

HOLY CRAP! Trump says out loud to his former FBI flunky, Dan Bongino, that Republicans "should take over the voting."He is literally admitting that he wants to steal the midterm elections because he knows he and the GOP are gonna lose. Nationalizing the election is illegal.

BLLSHT: Fox News Host Accuses Hakeem Jeffries of Calling for Kristi Noem to Be ‘Taken Out’

The past two weeks has seen some of the most gruesome conduct perpetrated by the United States government in modern times. Donald Trump is presiding over a criminal enterprise that has invaded Venezuela, threatened Greenland, and murdered American citizens in the streets of their home towns.

Fox News, Bullshit Factory

Many of the MAGA Republicans who bother to discuss these affairs at all, end up trying to blame both sides while calling for the harsh rhetoric to be toned down. Never mind that most of that explosive diarhetoric is coming from the right, and worse, their actions exceed their words. In fact, in the war of words Trump is seeking to muzzle his opponents.

SEE THIS: HOLY CR*P! Trump Floats Executive Order to Dictate to TV Networks What They Are Allowed to Air

On Thursday morning Harris Faulkner, the host of “Outnumbered” on Fox News, was in the midst of a segment wherein they were defending the barbaric tactics employed by Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The conversation led to a comment by the House Democratic Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, to which Faulkner and her comrades took offense. She complained that…

“Hakeem Jeffries says ‘Kristi Noem needs to be on ICE.’ Now I know that’s ineloquent and unfortunate. It’s also just horrible timing. Because we know that means ‘take somebody out.'”

Harris Faulkner: "Hakeem Jeffries says 'Kristi Noem should be on ICE.' I know that's ineloquent and unfortunate. It's also just horrible timing, because we know that means 'take somebody out.'"

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-29T17:22:59.048Z

So Faulkner is reprising the rhetoric argument to criticize what Jeffries said. But she is pitifully misrepresenting the comment in order stir up more hatred and division.

First of all, Jeffries was obviously connecting his criticism of Trump’s desperately unqualified Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, to the horrific record of ICE with a linguistic association to actual ice. Faulkner knows this, but chooses to inflame the situation unnecessarily.

Furthermore, Faulkner is deliberately distorting the meaning of the colloquial phrase to put someone “on ice.” It does not mean to “take somebody out,” or kill them. It means to “put on hold, or to pause, to allow to cool down.” Which is precisely what Jeffries meant, and even what Faulkner claims to be advocating.

This is similar to the right-wing freak out that occurred last year when James Comey posted an image online of some seashells that spelled out “8647.” The MAGA-tists all babbled about it being an assassination threat. But the phrase is just a term that means “to refuse service, or to kick out of a public establishment.”

Nobody should be surprised at the rank hypocrisy of Fox News, Trump, and others on the right who have been pretending to care about the heated rhetoric. They have been maligning Democrats as traitors for years. And since the penalty for treason is execution, they have been, in effect, calling for them to be killed. Trump did so explicitly when he demanded that several members of Congress be put to death for simply reminding those in the military of their duty to refuse to obey unlawful orders.

All of this only provides further proof that the right is obsessed with killing Democrats and anyone who does not worship Herr Trump. And it’s why they still support how ICE has been killing protesters and brutalizing immigrants. For the rabid right, the celebration of death goes way beyond just words.

Did a Fox News Host Steer Trump to Put Tom Homan in Charge of His ICE Thugs in Minneapolis?

The Calamity in Minneapolis orchestrated by Donald Trump and his Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) StormTrumpers has proven to be massive millstone around the neck of Trump and his regime’s top henchmen and women. On an issue that Trump had leaned on heavily throughout his political misadventures, he is now deeply underwater and struggling to find a way to stay afloat.

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

Recent surveys show that Trump’s approval on immigration is floundering at record lows. According to the Reuters/Ipsos poll “Fifty-three percent of Americans polled disapprove of the president’s immigration policy, while 39% approve of the job Trump is doing on immigration.” And no amount of gaslighting or whitewashing has helped to reverse the descent.

SEE THIS: RUSH TO JUDGMENT: Fox News and Trump Blame the Victim for 2nd ICE Shooting Death in Minneapolis

Consequently, Trump has been tenderly trying to walk back the rancid rhetoric that he has been yammering from day one of the horrific events in Minnesota, when he and his cronies smeared Alex Pretti as a “would be assassin” and “domestic terrorist.” He knows that the American people are repulsed by the deaths of peaceful, law abiding citizens, and that his attempts to viciously malign them have failed. But rather than admit any wrongdoing, or holding anyone accountable, Trump is trying to massage his messaging campaign to take the heat off of him without making any actual improvements.

Clearly Trump has no idea what to do. That’s why he has been waffling between blanket defenses of the atrocities he has caused, and pitiful stabs at displaying sympathy. The only marginally substantive reform he has taken is to cast his chief ICE enforcer in Minneapolis, Greg Bovino, into the corn field. But even that idea was not Trump’s. As reported by Brian Stelter of CNN…

“Around 6:15 a.m. on Monday, ‘Fox & Friends’ co-host Brian Kilmeade pitched a solution to President Trump’s growing political problem in Minnesota. ‘What I would do is just bring Tom Homan in,’ he said.

“Kilmeade, a Trump booster who knows the president often watches the morning show, volunteered the idea again at 7:15 and once more at 8:10. Homan, the border czar and a former Fox commentator, would ‘settle things down’ and help Trump, Kilmeade said.

“Maybe Trump was watching, maybe he wasn’t — but either way, he said, ‘I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight,’ 20 minutes after Kilmeade suggested it a third time.'”

So it appears that Kilmeade put the bug in Trump’s ear about replacing Bovino with Homan, and he embraced it in the hopes that it might ease the pain of sinking farther into the abyss of public disgust. Never mind that Homan is just as unsavory as Bovino, and he still has a corruption scandal hanging over his head alleging that he took a $50,000 bribe in exchange for delivering government favors.

The public’s view of Trump’s immigration policies has now deteriorated to the point that other Republicans are starting to show some spine by criticizing him. Actually, they are just getting to the point where they are more afraid of voters than they are of Trump. The result is that some – but certainly not all – are speaking out more critically of him than ever before.

Even some conservative media are turning against Trump. For instance, the right-wing National Review editorialized that “[Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem] has repeatedly demonstrated that she is incapable of speaking honestly about events like the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.” Which suggests that Trump’s critics on his own side won’t be satisfied until there are some terminations, indictments, or other form of accountability. And decent American citizens won’t be satisfied until Trump himself is held to account.

RUSH TO JUDGMENT: Fox News and Trump Blame the Victim for 2nd ICE Shooting Death in Minneapolis

“Tin soldiers and Trump is coming…” The only question now is how many more will die because of the callous savagery of Donald Trump and his fascist regime? The death that occurred Saturday morning on a Minneapolis street was entirely predictable and preventable, and was the direct result of a hostile, barbarous cabal of fascist mercenaries.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

This marks the second fatality of an American citizen at the hands of Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. And it was no accident. The victim had committed no crime when he was mobbed by ICE agents, brutally pummeled, then shot to death, despite not presenting any kind of a credible threat. His murder was pre-sanctioned by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and its de facto chief in the White House, Trump’s Senior Fascist Advisor, Stephen Miller.

SEE THIS: Stephen Miller Tells Trump’s ICE Thugs that They Have Immunity to Do Whatever the F**k They Want

DHS says that the officers attempted to disarm a suspect, but that the suspect violently resisted. Video of the incident shows that the victim was pinned to the ground by four agents when one of them started shooting. So four agents armed with batons, pepper spray, handcuffs, and other policing paraphernalia, were unable to subdue a single man. There were at least five shots fired while the victim was laying on the ground motionless on his stomach.

This is the same DHS that said that Renee Good, a law abiding citizen and mother, was a domestic terrorist who ran over an ICE agent with her car, which the video shows never happened. Consequently, DHS cannot be believed about this. An independent investigation must be performed. Which could be difficult considering reports that ICE tried to keep local police away from the scene. That could be viewed as an attempt to cover up the facts, and perhaps to have an opportunity to plant false evidence.

Nevertheless, Fox News, before any review of the incident had even begun, drew conclusions siding with the ICE agents saying that “They are simply doing their jobs,” and laying part of the blame for this new atrocity on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The following exchange took place on Fox News shortly after the story broke…

Fox Reporter: If anything is dangerous and unlawful it’s what Tim Walz is doing. And there ought to be consequences. […]
Nicole Parker: They are literally enforcing the law. These are targeted interactions, these are targeted operations. They are simply doing their jobs. And again, without the details of who this subject is, whether they were someone they were arresting, whether they were a bystander, a protester, frankly when you’re looking at the deadly force policies that’s completely irrelevant. For them they are literally looking at what we’ve gone over and over before. My piece of advice to anyone in Minneapolis, and frankly anywhere in the country, let the law enforcement do their job. If you don’t want to run into any problems stay out of the vicinity of law enforcement.

Fox News is defending feds killing another Minnesotan: "They are literally enforcing the law. These are targeted interactions, these are targeted operations. They are simply doing their jobs."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-24T17:04:01.826Z

So the first comments by Fox News were to place the blame on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Then their former FBI analyst claims that ICE was just doing their job, even while admitting that she is speaking “without the details.” Maybe she should just shut up until she has them. Then she concludes by advising American citizens to abandon their constitutional rights to dissent, and “let the law enforcement do their job.” Even if they are committing heinous crimes?

Naturally, Trump weighed in on this matter with his customary maliciousness and ignorance. He posted a comment that was exceedingly long and riddled with lies on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying in part that…

“This is the gunman’s gun, loaded (with two additional full magazines!), and ready to go – What is that all about? Where are the local Police? Why weren’t they allowed to protect ICE Officers? The Mayor and the Governor called them off?”

First of all, even if it’s true that the victim had a gun, that is legal and is not evidence of any criminal intent. You would think that a 2nd Amendment fanatic like Trump would respect that. There is no evidence that the victim drew any weapon.

Trump quickly segued to questioning the actions of the local police and political officials. And typically, he did so without any proof of the bad behavior that he was blindly and irresponsibly asserting. But he was just getting started. Some other items in his tedious post included…

“Why does Ilhan Omar have $34 Million Dollars in her account?”
Setting aside the fact that that is absolutely untrue. what does it have to do with any of this? Other than to malign a Black woman in Congress who criticizes Trump.

“We are there because of massive Monetary Fraud.”
Now Trump is claiming that the reason he sent troops to Minneapolis was due to monetary fraud. So why did he send immigration cops rather than treasury? And why is this the first time he has ever mentioned it? And where are the arrests of perpetrators of fraud by his ICE thugs?

“The Mayor and the Governor are inciting Insurrection.”
Trump learned a new word: “Insurrection.” So now he using it to describe anyone that criticizes him on any subject. Just like he does with “hoax.” But he can’t provide any proof that Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey incited anything. They have consistently called for calm and peaceful protest.

Trump’s bizarre meandering from one subject to other unrelated subjects is further evidence of his cognitive impairment. He is flailing in the hopes of landing on a topic that his cult followers might lap up. But he is conspicuously failing to exhibit any kind of human emotion as a result of a man dying at the hands of his thugs.

None of this was necessary. None of it would have happened if Trump had not deployed military style troops to terrorize citizens in an otherwise peaceful American city. The victim had broken no laws when he was accosted. Nobody had to die today.

It’s painfully clear that ICE is the instigating factor. And they need to leave Minneapolis immediately, and every other American city, where they are provoking this violence on behalf of aspiring authoritarian Trump. It’s plain as day that he just wants to exploit the chaos that he is creating as an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, and/or declare martial law, and realize his dystopian dream of dictatorship. But the American people are not going to let him do it.

Sean Hannity Drools Over Insane Trump Proposal to Give Everyone in Greenland $100,000

The Sycophancy Meter for devotees of Donald Trump routinely registers at the highest levels that it is capable of reporting. His cult members are entirely devoid of any measure of shame or self respect when it comes to affirming their unflinching adoration of Dear Leader.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump Sean Hannity

Consistent with most cults, Trump’s is characterized by his painfully obvious psychological and emotional abnormalities. He is paranoid, petulant, rage-filled, malignant narcissist, with a tenuous grasp on reality. It is a profile that he shares with the likes of Jim Jones. Although a notable difference between Jones and Trump is that Trump would have charged his flock for the Kool Aid. Like Jones, however, Trump demands an unwavering faith in his infallibility, and eternal loyalty.

SEE THIS: Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

In a demonstration of his unreserved reverence for Trump, Sean Hannity of Fox News led a segment on his program with MAGA Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri. The two discussed Trump’s ludicrous intentions to annex Greenland against the will of it’s citizens, with force if necessary, and despite the opposition of America’s allies in the European Union and NATO. In his fawning display of idolization, Hannity gushed that…

“Donald Trump’s forever in a state of negotiation. Everything’s negotiable. A $100,000 offer for every person in Greenland – on average making 60 grand a year – Denmark’s not exactly been generous to them. They don’t have the ability to help them take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland. We do…Seems like a no-brainer to me.”

Indeed. It would require having no brains to give Trump’s proposal even the slightest bit of serious consideration. Hannity’s praise of Trump for his alleged negotiating prowess is just more of the mythology that he is a great dealmaker. Never minds his numerous bankruptcies and multiple civil and criminal judgments for fraud. And don’t bother looking up the real author of his book, “The Art of the Deal.”

Hannity’s contention that for Trump “Everything’s negotiable,” is hardly a compliment. It highlights Trump’s ethical vacancy wherein he would negotiate away his mother’s dentures for a McDonalds Happy Meal for himself, or an award trophy that he didn’t earn. And he would make (and has made) the same awful deals with American principles.

The specific deal that Hannity is referencing involves Trump’s proposal to pay every resident of Greenland $100,000 in exchange for surrendering their sovereignty. Which just proves that Trump can put a price tag on anything, including honor, virtue, and patriotism. And if he would do that to Greenlanders, he would it to Americans.

What’s more, Hannity is exhibiting his own lack of moral character by lauding Trump’s shallowness and greed as virtuous. Hannity is also flaunting his ignorance by asserting that Denmark has not been “generous” to the Greenlanders. Does Hannity think that Trump would allow them to continue to receive free healthcare, education, and extended parental leave and vacation? Would they give up all of those lifetime benefits for a one-time handout?

As for their ability to “take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland,” maybe they don’t crave such materialism the way Trump does. Maybe they prefer the quality of life they have that regularly ranks Denmark as one of the happiest countries on Earth.

Finally, What would America get for the billions it would cost to compensate Greenland? It would just be another expenditure by Trump that only benefits him and his wealthy comrades, but ignores how the American people are struggling. All in all, a truly horrible deal. Which is exactly the kind that Trump specializes in. And neither Greenlanders nor Americans should take him up on it.

Fox News Senior Misogynist Says Women Are ‘Little Creatures’ Who Shouldn’t Be Taken Seriously

The Fox News roster of hosts and correspondents has always been a confederacy of liars and Olympic-grade ignorati. They faithfully carry out the network’s primary mission of pumping up Donald Trump and the Republican Party. And they do it on a daily basis with the emotional maturity of a delinquent seven year old.

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Generally the Foxies are pushing ultra conservative propaganda in support of the right-wing’s vile and exclusionary political agenda. But they also disseminate vicious and insulting cultural dogma aimed at maligning Democrats and liberals and anyone they regard as “woke.” And perhaps the worse purveyor of that rancid bullshittery is Jesse Watters.

SEE THIS: Fox News Hack Jesse Watters Criteria Justifying ICE Killing US Citizens is Insane and Dangerous

On Thursday’s episode of Fox’s “The Five.” Watters had something he needed to get off his chest about women. And true to form, it was unflinchingly contemptuous and chock full of hate. He led it off as if it were a criticism of men, saying that…

“Here’s the problem with guys: They take women too seriously. You don’t really listen to these women. They will say things. Just goes in one ear and out the other. We are toxic? Here is a drink, babe. That’s done. They love that. They are beautiful little creatures. We just have to adore them and shower them with love and attention. That is really all they want…You love attention and drinks.”

You have to wonder how the “little creatures” at the table with him – and those watching at home – felt about that description. He believes that women are brain dead wind-up dolls that can be – and should be – manipulated by flattery and alcohol. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone who remembers that Watters slashed the tires of a much younger former coworker to get her take a ride home with him. He later left his wife and children to marry her.

It is particularly offensive for Watters to express these despicable thoughts at time when a couple of profoundly troubling stories are in the news that involve women. There are the files of child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, that Watters has defended Trump for refusing to release. And there is the ICE agent who murdered a young mother, that Watters believes deserved to be killed, despite the video evidence that she posed no threat.

The views that Watters expressed are consistent with those of many other men at Fox News. Their former president, Roger Ailes, was fired for sexual harassment. So was their biggest star, Bill O’Reilly. Even Trump’s current Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, had an inappropriate relationship with a younger Fox co-worker, which eventually broke up his marriage to his second wife.

It’s fair to say that a pattern is apparent. And that pattern fits the example made by Trump, the Pussy-Grabber-In-Chief. It seems like sexual misconduct is a prerequisite to work for either Trump or Fox News. It would be nice if the women there – particularly those on the same show as Watters – would speak out against that gross behavior. Because he surely doesn’t deserve the platform he’s exploiting to disparage women while he’s spewing partisan political nonsense.

Fox News Hack Jesse Watters Criteria Justifying ICE Killing US Citizens is Insane and Dangerous

In the aftermath of the horrendous murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis, the Trump regime has been spinning furiously to justify the shooting by an ICE officer of a U.S. citizen who posed no threat to him or anyone else.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Jesse Watters, Fox News

The arguments by the Trumpists are wholly removed from the reality that everyone can see for themselves in the videos of the incident. They are asserting that Good is a “radical leftist” who deliberately “ran over” the ICE officer and put him in the hospital. None of which is true. And the the chief dispenser of these gaslighting lies was, of course, Donald Trump himself.

SEE THIS: Trump Weighs In On the ICE Shooting in Minneapolis With a Flurry of Blatant Lies

On Wednesday night Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, went all in on support for the regime’s dishonest misrepresentations of what occurred. That’s to be expected from a network that exists only to back up Trump and the Republican Party. However, Fox’s Senior Doofus, Jesse Watters, went farther than many of his lying colleagues. He enumerated what he thinks are the criteria to justify the regime’s police thugs murder of United States citizens…

Jesse Watters: “The woman who lost her life was a self-proclaimed poet from Colorado with pronouns in her bio. A 37-year-old White woman named Renee Good. The Daily Mail says she leaves behind a lesbian partner and a child from a previous marriage. She was a disruptor, though she considered herself a legal observer. But there’s no evidence she had a law degree.”

Jesse Watters highlights that Renee Nicole Good, the woman killed by ICE, had "pronouns in her bio" and "leaves behind a lesbian partner and a child from a previous marriage"

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-08T03:49:34.494Z

Get it? In order to be executed by the police in Trump’s America, all you need to be is one or more of the following…

  • A poet.
  • A user of pronouns.
  • A lesbian.
  • A single parent.

That criteria, of course, would put millions of Americans at risk for extrajudicial killings. And it doesn’t matter if they had committed any crime. Your death would be instantly validated by the heads of the law enforcement agencies, the Justice Department, the FBI, and even by the president.

The grotesque callousness of that position is hard to comprehend. Watters himself is “guilty” of some of those criteria. He has children from a prior marriage. And he has used pronouns many times.

In recent developments, Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, has announced that the investigation of the shooting will conducted solely by the FBI. She has explicitly forbidden the state from participating. That is highly unusual as these sort of investigations are almost always done jointly. This stinks of the regime plotting out a way to cover up the crimes of the officer, or others at the scene of the crime.

How can anyone take the results of such a probe seriously. It would be coming from the same people who insisted that Haitians in Ohio were eating cats and dogs. They are proven liars and flagrant racists. But this is where we are today as Trump and his cronies try to remake America in their perverse image.

Fox News Flunkies that Once Condemned Trump’s January 6th Rioters Have Totally Abandoned Reality

It has now been five years since Donald Trump incited a mob of rioters to storm the United States Capitol, causing millions of dollars in damage, and sending 140 police officers to the hospital, five of whom died. All in a treasonous effort to undermine Democracy and overturn the results of a free and fair election.

Donald Trump Insurrection

That day is a black mark on American history that is recalled by patriots with sorrow, anger, and shame. And it was made all the worse when glassy-eyed voters with short-term memory loss returned Trump to the White House last year. The result has been more horrendous than even the most pessimistic advocates of democracy predicted. For instance…

SEE THIS: WHAT’S NEXT? Trump Eyes More Conquests After His Dangerous and Deranged Venezuela Attack

Immediately following the events of January 6, 2021, most of the nation was appalled and stricken by the audacity of Trump and his out of control supporters that he refused to call back for more than three hours. There was nearly unanimous condemnation of the lawlessness and violence that the StormTrumpers engaged in. And remarkably, that was even true of Trump’s fawning sycophants on Fox News.

On this solemn anniversary it is a good time look back on some of the most striking examples of hypocrisy by the Fox News propagandizers. Let’s begin with one that came from Fox’s Greg Gutfeld, who unleashed a stirring rebuke of the rioting Trumpists. On his afternoon program the following day, “The Five,” Gutfeld said that…

“What pisses me off is what happened yesterday. We’re supposed to be the gate against the barbarians. and yesterday we looked like the barbarians. And it doesn’t help anybody. But you will not see Republicans bailing out those who were arrested. See, that is a vital contrast. And Americans know this. Americans do not need lectures from hypocrites.”

just a reminder of the initial, in the moment, right wing reaction to jan 6 my favorite is greg gutfeld saying republican condemnation of the jan 6 rioters is an example of their moral superiority over the leftwww.mediamatters.org/media/4018641

Seriously? Gutfeld exploited the tragedy to lavish praise on his fellow right-wingers for being so adamantly devoted to peaceful protests and the rule of law. He presented that as a criticism of Democrats who he asserted were less respectful of those principles.

However, it was Trump who later did “bail out those who were arrested,” and even convicted after pleading guilty to charges ranging from assaulting the police to seditious conspiracy. In fact, Trump pardoned more than 1,500 of them indiscriminately. And Gutfeld has never bothered to revisit his remarks of January 7th. Instead, he has reverted to the standard Fox News stance of gushing adulation of Trump.

Gutfeld, though, was not alone. Pretty much the entire Fox News roster was critical of the Trump insurrectionists. But today they are slathering the same sugary sappiness on Trump, and excusing him and his marauding hoards of any wrongdoing. Media Matters compiled some of the commentaries from Fox Newsers before they they fell back into their state of Trump worship…

  • Sean Hannity: “All of today’s perpetrators must be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”
  • Laura Ingraham: “But those who breached the Capitol Hill security today, whoever they were, they were criminals.”
  • Jesse Watters: “You can’t smash windows, spray police with chemical agents, assault police officers, loot, and vandalize.”
  • Mark Levin: “What they did was criminal. I want to know who these people are. I want to know if they’re going to be charged. Because they should be. They broke the law. What they did was criminal.”
  • Jeanine Pirro: “The actions at the United States Capitol three days ago were deplorable, reprehensible, outright criminal.”

Today, all but one of those people are still on the air at Fox News. And each and every one of them have dispensed of all of those opinions that the rioters were criminals. The one no longer with Fox, Jeanine Pirro, is now Trump’s U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

For his part, Trump has sought to persecute everyone involved with bringing the January 6th rioters to justice. He has fired the prosecutors and prosecuted members of Congress. And on this anniversary Trump posted a timeline of the day’s events that is wholly removed from reality. In a blatant rewriting of history, Trump’s website states that the protesters were peaceful, that it was the police who escalated the violence, and that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him.

As we remember the horror of that day, we must also be conscious of the future. Trump wanted to violate the law in order to cling to power five years ago. And he still wants that today. In a speech to Republicans he fantasized about running for a third and, far more troubling, canceling the upcoming elections. So we have been warned. And we must be prepared to defend American democracy. Because Trump and Co. are preparing to terminate it.

Trump fantasizes about canceling elections. And he admits that the only reason he won't say that is because the press will call him a dictator.Not because it's grossly unconstitutional and undemocratic. #TrumpIsADictator

Fox News Finally Admits that Republicans Have No Healthcare Plan, Then Blames it on Democrats

From its inception thirty years ago, the mission of Fox News has been to promote the Republican Party and its right-wing principles. With the advent of a populist cult leader in Donald Trump, Fox News adjusted their role from political ally to glassy-eyed loyalists, performing the function of Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda.

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

Fox News isn’t just an arm of the MAGA media machine, it actually employs Trump’s Daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, as a primetime weekend program host. That’s just one example of how closely Trump and Fox are intertwined. More examples are readily available. Such as how Fox News gushes over the alleged physical and mental superiority of Trump, despite all the evidence that both are in severe decline.

SEE THIS: HUH? Fox News Praises Trump for Being 80 Years Old and Severely Sleep Deprived

However, the latest example of how devotional Fox News is toward their Dear Leader came in Monday’s episode of Trump’s favorite Fox News morning show, Fox and Friends. In a segment intended to bash Democrats for not supporting Trump’s illegal war against Venezuela, co-host Brian Kilmeade, detours to the valid criticism of Trump that he isn’t paying attention to the things that matter most to the American people. And high on that list is the crisis over healthcare availability and affordability. Unfortunately for Kilmeade, his strategy just affirms how out of touch the GOP is. And how dishonest Fox News is.

Kilmeade: “I have news for you. The Republicans don’t have a health care program. They can’t have a crisis. It’s your program that’s in crisis. And you can, as a president, have a foreign policy and a domestic policy.”

Brian Kilmeade: “I have news for you. The Republicans don't have a health care program. They can't have a crisis.”

Okay then. Democrats have long denounced the Republican Party for not having a healthcare plan. The GOP has raged about the Democrat’s Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) for fifteen years, promising to repeal and replace it. But in all that time they have never managed to deliver an alternative. Nevertheless, they insisted that they were ready to go forward with their imaginary plan that they assured was better and cheaper. If only it existed.

Kilmeade then concluded that the GOP’s lack of a healthcare plan means that any healthcare crisis is therefore the fault of Democrats. WTF? It is Republicans who have tried to hobble Obamacare which, by the way, is broadly popular with the majority of the American people across political lines.

Kilmeade also points to Democrats and says that “It’s your program that’s in crisis.” No it’s not! It’s the people’s program. And it’s Republicans who are deliberately putting it in crisis by refusing to extend the premium subsidies, without which costs will double or triple or worse. But to Fox News that’s the Democrats’ fault? Also, Kilmeade says that a president can “have a foreign policy and a domestic policy.” That’s true. And Trump has neither.

This is familiar behavior by Republicans. They can’t take responsibility for anything. They currently control the House, the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court, but still say that Democrats are to blame for the hardships being thrust on the nation that is being governed by Republicans.

Fortunately, later this year there will be an election that looks to be trending in favor of the Democrats. And when they have the upper hand, they will show Republicans, and the nation, that progress can be made when you have the people’s interests at heart, and the intelligence and compassion to act on their behalf. Rather than the GOP cowards who are beholden only to Herr Trump.
