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.

Nicki Minaj Awkwardly Calls JD Vance An 'Assassin' While Speaking To Erika Kirk—And Nicki's Reaction Is All Of Us

Rapper Nicki Minaj had quite the awkward moment at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest over the weekend after she attempted to compliment Vice President JD Vance by calling him an "assassin" before realizing her error.

That's a significant blunder from the newly-minted MAGA performer, considering she said these words while talking to Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk, whose husband, far-right activist Charlie Kirk, was assassinated at a college event in September.
