Fox News host Jesse Watters on Tuesday said he knows the United States “owns” the moon in defense of President Donald Trump’s aggressive attempt to annex Greenland. (Watch the video below.)
Yeah, Jesse, and the moon is also made of Swiss cheese.
“The United States always secures her interests, economically, militarily, either by force or purchase. Louisiana Purchase. Alaska. The Philippines. We even got the Marshall Islands after World War II. You don’t even know where they are, Greg. We got the moon. I think we own it,” Watters said on “The Five.”
When a fellow panelist cackled at the claim, Watters doubled down with a straight face. “I know we own it,” he said.
Serious, jesting or anything in between, Watters is wrong.
