US donald trump Gavin newsom Jesse watters
Fox host Jesse Watters responded to Gavin Newsom’s dyslexia by saying he doesn’t want a president who can’t read, and the internet had news for him
Gavin Newsom is currently in the eye of a storm about his diagnosis of dyslexia, and a below-average SAT score of 960.
Here’s what started the row.

Sean Hannity jumped on a part of the interview in which he mentioned his SAT score, accusing him of racism, having made an assumption that the audience was entirely black, and that Newsom was implying they’d have gained below-average scores, too – neither of which were true.

It was hypocritical to say the least.
You didn’t give a shit about the President of the United States of America posting an ape video of President Obama or calling African nations shitholes — but you’re going to call me racist for talking about my lifelong struggle with dyslexia?
Spare me your fake fucking outrage,… https://t.co/ABNZJQJLcj

Jesse Watters took time out from his busy schedule of steering men away from using straws and voting for women to drop his hot take. It was standard Watters fare.

The “President” Jesse wanted, thought “Nipple” and “Button” were countries and that the moon was “part of Mars”, but ok. https://t.co/6XoRXkfhl7
