Jesse Watters Dragged After Gripe About Trump's Hush Money Trial Is Self-Own For The Ages
Fox News

The Fox News host put his hypocrisy on full display after complaining about the things people will say 'for a paycheck.'

Fox News host Jesse Watters is getting dragged online after complaining about Donald Trump's trial in the most oblivious way possible.

In a segment on his show on Tuesday, Watters whined that people will "say anything for a paycheck," referring presumably to witnesses testifying against Trump.


Of course being that Watters and Fox News in general traffic in utter nonsense 90% of the time in the name of a paycheck, people found this to be pretty rich coming from him.

The comments were in reference to Trump's ongoing "hush money" trial, in which it is alleged that Trump and former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker colluded on a "catch and kill" scheme to keep damaging stories about Trump out of the press in the run-up to the 2016 election.

The stories in question center on people like former Playboy model Karen McDougal and adult entertainment star Stormy Daniels, who both allege they had sexual affairs with Trump.

Both were paid six-figure sums by people in Trump's orbit. Daniels was paid $130,000 in "hush money," while McDougal was paid $150,000 from Enquirer parent company American Media Inc. for the exclusive rights to her story, which the Enquirer then buried, a practice known as "catch and kill."

A third woman, a former housekeeper of Trump's, was paid $30,000 for rights to her uncorroborated story of having been impregnated by Trump.

Watters claimed that all of these allegations are simply vindictive lies from Trump's enemies. He said on his show:

“These are the kind of things celebrities and billionaires like Trump deal with. People will say anything for a paycheck, and people will pay money to protect their brand."

That take is ludicrous on its face to anyone with even the slightest willingness to think critically about the story.

But coming from Watters? People on Twitter had a field day in response to the likes of him lecturing people about being willing to say anything for money.


 


 


 


 


 

And of course, many couldn't help but point out that Watters' employer Fox News had to pay a $787 million settlement to Dominion Voting Systems for lying about the supposed role the company's voting machines and software played in helping Democrats "steal" the 2020 election, none of which happened.


 



 


 

Not that any of the cranks who watch Fox News will see the irony. But still, it's fun to see empty shirts like Watters trip on their own foolishness now and then.

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
