Jesse Watters is called 'the dumbest man on (US) cable news' by at least one of his former co-workers. However that's no handicap when it comes to lying and spouting Fox News's malignant twaddle.

'Jesse Watters celebrated Trump’s calls for revenge. Now, Watters says that the idea that Trump is out for revenge is a hoax.'
Fox News’ Jesse Watters is attempting to fool his audience into believing that former President Donald Trump has no plans for political retribution should he win the 2024 presidential election, despite previously hyping a Trump “revenge tour” and celebrating the former president’s threats to execute Gen. Mark Milley and pull news networks’ broadcast licenses.

Following the lead of his fellow pro-Trump media sycophants, Watters is currently downplaying the former president’s well-documented calls for political retribution in an apparent attempt to undermine the Biden campaign’s characterization of Trump as a would-be authoritarian.

On the June 12 edition of Jesse Watters Primetime, the Fox host declared that Trump’s only retribution plan is “revenge through success,” citing a clip from a June 2 Fox & Friends interview. “Everybody wins, even Trump’s enemies,” Watters claimed.

An over-the-shoulder graphic captioned “revenge hoax” aired throughout a portion of the segment.

...

Watters’ attempt to sanitize Trump’s calls for retribution by relying on one soundbite from a friendly interview looks even more disingenuous when compared to what he was telling his Fox News audience last year.

On August 1, after Trump was indicted in special counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case, the Fox host characterized the imprisonment of Trump’s political enemies as an inevitability: “Don't you think for a second he's not going to unleash hell on all of his political enemies,” Watters asserted. “This is only the beginning of politicians putting other politicians and their families in prison. Sad we had to go down this road, but this is where we are and now we have to finish it.”

Watters escalated the next day, promising his viewers that a Trump win would be the beginning of a “revenge tour” where “he'll be out for blood” and predicting that Trump’s political enemies and their families “will be legally assaulted … everything’s fair game.”

Fromthe tabloid fringe, NY Post has jumped on Kamala speaking quirks, because....Biden.
The paper that called her a DEI hire.

Lots of people shift their speaking style to adapt to their audiences.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sometimes pretends she is black.

Hillary Clinton sometimes used to pretend she had been raised in the South.

And Joe Biden sometimes tries to pretend he hasn’t forgotten what he was saying.

But even in such company, Kamala’s voice shifts are bizarre.

After attacking Trump and Vance’s calls for unity, she suddenly burst out with an attack of Southern: “We too busy watchin’ what you doin’ to hear what you’re sayin’,” she said.

Truly the cringe was great with this one.

For her part, Kamala looked like she thought her Southern voice was a huge hit in North Carolina.

If she does make it to the presidency in November, I will await with keen interest her first world tour.

Will she put on a French accent in France?

Or a Chinese accent in China?

I can’t wait to see what she does in Africa.

The speech built to what could have been a climax when she said her Republican opponents would take away all the money and rights of the people in North Carolina.

By contrast, she and Joe had stood up to “Big pharma, the big banks and big corporations.”

She might as well have added, “And Bigfoot.”

What is more, they had canceled debt, “including student loan debt.”

As a whoop went up, she once again forgot where she was.

As if she were a Southern preacher, she suddenly said, “Testify if you have received it.”

A few lesbian dance majors in the audience promptly hollered with gratitude.

Ain’t that called a language register and something we all do?

For example this guy is mimicking the style of a hard-hitting wit…

Two weeks ago Tim Pool was pounding on his desk and ranting (time-stamp 1:49:27) about how 'Ukraine is the enemy of this country [USA]!' Now that the media group he's paid by has been exposed as being heavily funded by Russian propagandists he's suddenly a 'victim.'

That's one of the pitfalls of having opinions for money - people might find out who's paying you.

The media out here saying all trump has to do to win the debate is not call Harris silly nicknames, but for Harris to do well she has to tell Americans how she'll fix every single issue, distance herself from Biden, introduce herself to people, be a prosecutor, appeal to swing voters, cure cancer and get water from the moon!.

Fox assembles focus group representing voters. One is clearly a libertarian. How can we tell? Well...
