Fox News’ Jesse Watters got told to stop Biden bashing – live on air …by his mother
Fox News’ Jesse Watters has stepped into the void left by the departure of Tucker Carlson, as his Jesse Watters Primetime show moves into the 8 pm slot.
His debut was exactly what you’d expect – speculation about Hunter Biden, more criticism of Hunter’s dad – and a few digs at trans people, for good measure.
It was those things – and more – that came up when Watters’ mother rang the show.
Jesse Watters' mom (who is a Democrat) calls in to weigh in on his first night in his 8 pm show:
"Do not fall into any conspiracy rabbitholes. We do not want to lose you. … There really has been enough Biden-bashing and [Hunter's] laptop is old." pic.twitter.com/Nn8udb83sr

“Do not tumble into any conspiracy rabbit holes.”
That ship may already have sailed. Aaron Rupar posted the next part – which was savage.
If you're like me and were dying to know how this clip ends, there's more!

‘That Bedminster friend’ of Watters’ is Trump – in case you hadn’t joined the dots with his New Jersey golf club. Life would be a lot simpler if he went back to hosting The Apprentice.
It’s far from the first time Anne Watters has featured on her son’s show. She has been texting him about his output for years, and he’s read several of her critical messages on air. It’s good to talk.
Viewers – and tweeters – were delighted to see him hauled over the coals so publicly.

“That’s right, Jesse Watters’ own mother called in to his Fox News show and told him to knock off the conspiracy theories, move on from the phony Hunter Biden scandal, and stop being so obsessed with what others do with their bodies. Here’s an idea: let’s get Jesse Watters off… https://t.co/6wncemel3D

Jesse's mom seems really lovely and he should listen to her. I'm 100% serious. She is right. https://t.co/SsMmp24DHl

I am not even kidding. Jesse Watters mom gave Jesse a list of suggestions live on air. It didn’t go the way Jesse hoped it would. What a legend. She is my new hero and inspiration. pic.twitter.com/MO2CUmt6bz

Pretty confident this show just peaked. It doesn't get better than this. This level of humiliation on night one. Just perfect. https://t.co/Y5X7AkakK8

1. What a nice mom, congratulating her son on his big new Fox News job. She lovingly gives Jesse Watters advice on how not to lose the job or get sued. She loves her boy, even though that apple fell far from the tree.#ProudBlue#DemVoice1 https://t.co/aFjDcuc7tR

She’s a treasure and a lot classier than I am.
If one of my sons went right, they’d never risk a call to me on national tv— DFlindy (@FlindyD) July 18, 2023

I'm pretty sure Democrats should hire Jesse's Mom to do ads for the 2024.

Holy crap the vile racist Jesse Watters just had his mom call into his first show in his new time slot and she mommed the ever living crap out of him. Somebody send her a mimosa on me, she won today https://t.co/AMVXqax6LX

What happened to Jesse Watters? He seems like he had a good mom growing up? Greed? pic.twitter.com/CZqXlALEOb

If Jesse Watters listens to his mom, he'll be off Fox's primetime lineup by next Thursday. https://t.co/LQKh9MZVEH

2. Here's the wrap up with Jesse's mom. Don't blame mom for how Jesse Watters turned out, sounds like she hasn't give up yet!#ProudBlue#DemVoice1 https://t.co/CTAyrD00Rd

It’s got to be time for the Anne Watters Show, right?
I think they promoted the wrong Watters. It is clear that Jesse Watters' mom should have her own show. pic.twitter.com/RqxnJUkokK

Jesse Watters should console himself with the fact that it could have been a lot worse.
