The CBS Mornings host was surprised to be seated next to Fox News host Jesse Watters during a recent 4-hour flight—but her chummy post and selfie with Watters isn't sitting well with everyone.

CBS Mornings co-anchor Gayle King posted a selfie on her Instagram Monday that's been less than well received.

The “best friend of Oprah” found herself seated next to controversial Fox News host Jesse Watters on a flight and opted to snag a selfie with him.

King posted the plane shot with the caption:

"Two TV people from competing networks walk on to a plane and to the surprise of them both, they’re seated right next to each other for over four hours. How did it go? Speaking for [Jesse Watters] here: A good time was had by all! Hi, Jesse…saving your number!"

So what's all the fuss about?

Watters has established himself as the Fox host with the most racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic comments on Fox. Not to mention his creepy thoughts on dating—bragging on air about disabling a younger subordinate’s car to force her into his vehicle—and his bizarre rules for men.

So while polite conversation during the flight was expected, a smiling selfie with the promise to keep in touch was a bridge too far for many of King's friends, fans, and followers.

This isn't King's first stumble.

The CBS host faced backlash after comparing herself to NASA astronaut Alan Shepard after her 11-minute space flight as part of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos' handpicked all-female crew.

In 1961, Shepard was the second person and the first American to venture into space. In 1971 at age 47, he became the fifth and oldest person to walk on the Moon.

Fox News Ripped After Blaming Talarico For Not Trying To Stop MAGA Conspiracy Theory About Him

Fox News sparked eyerolls from critics after attempting to blame Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico for not trying to shut down a viral MAGA conspiracy theory that he'd had a mental health episode and was admitted to a facility.

Talarico returned to the campaign trail after taking nine days off to recover from the flu. During his absence, conservative commentators circulated an unsubstantiated claim that he had experienced a mental health crisis and traveled to the Lindner Center of Hope in Cincinnati, Ohio, for treatment.

Samuel L. Jackson Roasts Red Carpet Reporter To Shreds After She Tries To Do Impression Of Him

Samuel L. Jackson is one of those actors that people just love to impersonate. He's had so many memorable roles with countless quotable lines, and his personality is nothing short of fascinating.

But people who attempt to impersonate him always get some aspect of the impression wrong, whether it's the volume, the enunciation, the intonation, or just the overall demeanor. Even Jamie Foxx, who's an impressive impersonator of a wide range of stars, has not impressed Jackson with his impersonation of him.
