Media reaction continues to pour in from the responses to former President Donald Trump saying there would be a “bloodbath” if he wasn’t elected this November. Fox News primetime host Jesse Watters says it’s the latest in a long line of falsehoods peddled by media members on the other side of the political aisle.
While discussing the situation Monday, Watters argued against the idea that Trump was calling for political violence to those who oppose him. He also showed a montage of other pundits and Democratic lawmakers using the term out of context.
Jesse Watters then shared his opinion that the uproar from media members was a tactic to put the perceived failures of President Biden on the backburner and turn Trump into the villain.
“The democrat media industrial complex is preying on you. They don’t want you to read, they don’t want you to be curious. They want you to be stupid, scared, and oblivious – easy marks for psyops,” Watters said. “They don’t have any faith in the people they have a social contract with.”
That’s when he shared a quip about what you should and shouldn’t believe from mainstream news outlets.
“Thomas Jefferson famously said quote, ‘Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper.’ So when you read the news, assume it’s not true – until you watch Jesse Watters Primetime.”
