Fox News just started doing Jeffrey Epstein jokes and they didn’t just plumb the depths, they went straight to the Mariana Trench

To the studios of Fox News – only briefly, honest – where host Jesse Waters didn’t just charter previously unseen depths, he ended up in the Mariana Trench.

We say this after Waters and his Fox News sidekicks – Greg Gutfeld among them – joked about Jeffrey Epstein and when we say it’s quite the watch, it’s quite the watch.

There needs to be a nationwide boycott of Fox News. Anyone trying to laugh off violent crimes against children is a rotten scumbag.
