One might think that Fox News would want to be more careful with what they allow to be said on air after paying out $787 million to Dominion voting systems over election machine misinformation. But earlier this week, host Jesse Watters claimed that Democratic activists were getting themselves on Trump's New York case jury.
Trump, of course, ran with the conspiracy theory and resposted it on Truth Social. Lawrence O'Donnell took aim at Watters during a segment on his Thursday night show.
The MSNBC host began, "Jesse Watters is the newest liar to occupy the 8:00 p.m. slot on Fox, the lying channel. A network that has been adjudicated to have told [$787.5] million dollars worth of lies in a defamation case. The previous occupant of the 8 p.m. slot had told so many of those lies, that even Fox decided they had to let him go."
O'Donnell continued, Jesse Watters got his start at Fox as Bill O’Reilly’s errand boy, running around with a microphone on the sidewalk following people down the street trying to get them to talk to them. Whatever O’Reilly wanted him to do."
The MSNBC anchor closed, "Jesse Watters is the same person who, last week, said publicly that he believed that the minimum wage produces an income of $100,000 a year in America. That’s how stupid you can be on Fox at 8:00 P.M., or in the case of Jesse Watters, also at 5:00 p.m."
