Jesse Watters on Monday said TV hosts and others are free to joke about Donald Trump ― but only in a lighthearted fashion.
“Trump is hilarious,” Watters said. “You can make fun of him more than Democrats. Just do it in a good-natured way.”
“Like he does for everyone?” one person snapped back in an X post that could have been aimed at either Trump or Watters.
Watters’ awkward plea for diplomacy flopped badly among critics. One noted that he was doing the kind of preaching he was preaching against.
“Fox News lecturing their audience while reporting on a story about dislike of TV audiences being lectured to,” another wrote. “The irony.”
