As he prepares to shift his Fox News show to the 8:00 PM ET window, Jesse Watters isn’t shying away from his conservative firebrand approach. Quite the contrary. He has accused the mainstream media of threatening President Joe Biden.
During Jesse Watters Primetime Monday, the Fox News host argued that Biden was propped up as the Democratic candidate for President in 2020 because of his willingness to do the bidding of the mainstream media.
“The real Joe Biden’s a fraud, and the media’s known about it for years,” Watters said before playing a clip of Johnny Carson joking about Biden on a 1987 episode of The Tonight Show.
“With Trump up for re-election, the media needed a fraud to take him out. They knew Joe Biden basically would do what he was told. He’d do anything for power,” posited Watters. “And if he didn’t do it, they’d blackmail him because they knew everything about his secret little life, so they pumped up Joe’s phony brand and savaged anybody who pointed out Joe’s dark side.”
Biden has received backlash over recent weeks, mostly for his insistence that he only has six grandchildren. He reportedly has a seventh grandchild, a 4-year-old girl in Arkansas, born to his son Hunter out of wedlock. Biden has repeatedly failed to acknowledge the child as his grandchild, which drew pushback from outlets like The New York Times.
