The White House is condemning comments from Jesse Watters, a popular Fox News host, who complained this week about the instability and ongoing violence in the Middle East. In a statement Thursday, the White House condemned the host’s remarks, calling them “hateful lies.”
Jesse Watters Primetime will begin at 8 p.m. ET on July 17 as part of a revamped weekly nighttime lineup on Fox News. Laura Ingraham’s show will air at 7 p.m., with Sean Hannity’s popular program remaining at 9 p.m. Greg Gutfeld’s latenight show will move up to the 10 p.m. hour that was previously Ingraham’s time slot.
Comments by Jesse Watters, a host of The Five, were in keeping with previous derogatory remarks about Dr. Anthony Fauci by hosts and conservatives.
