Summary
Fox News host Jesse Watters, a vocal supporter of Trump and Elon Musk’s cuts, expressed frustration after his sister’s job at Johns Hopkins University was affected.
The university is laying off over 2,000 employees due to cuts in federally funded research, particularly from USAID, which Trump and Musk have sought to eliminate.
Watters previously defended DOGE but has softened his stance after seeing personal consequences, including a veteran friend losing a Pentagon job.
Critics argue DOGE disproportionately harms education and research institutions.
Haven’t verified it for myself so grain of salt:
But apparently watters’s family are pretty openly liberal and his mother regularly, publicly, criticizes him for the hatemonger he is.
So it is 500% him annoyed that his family is going to yell at him
He’s such a sociopath. The whole thing about him admitting he tricked his assistant into dating him by deflating her tires is another example of that.
that’s horrifying
If memory serves, at one point his mom called into his show to basically chew him out on-air, live.
Yep, here’s a clip of it:
