Jesse Watters Primetime host boasted of his ties to some of those headed for the most powerful jobs in government

Right-wing Fox News host Jesse Watters reacted to President-elect Donald Trump’s latest round of administration announcements on his show, Jesse Watters Primetime, on Wednesday night. Listing off their names—including Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence,

JESSE WATTERS (HOST): Can you believe Pete Hegseth is going to be the next secretary of defense? So I had a hard time wrapping my head around it last night, and now I love it. And then, as I was wrapping my head around it, mostly thinking about how I can benefit from it, can I use this plane to go somewhere?

Fox News host Jesse Watters bizzarely bragged about a familial breakdown that saw his Kamala Harris-supporting mother shut him out of Thanksgiving, only for him to decline her olive branch invitation to come over the next day by saying he’d rather shop at Best Buy.

Watters, who took over from Tucker Carlson ‘s coveted 8 pm slot on Fox News in July 2023, has made it no secret that he clashes with his liberal mom, Anne Watters, who is a proud Democrat. During his debut episode, Anne called into the show to give her son some advice.

Now Jesse is back in the news because he welcomed in the holiday season by airing a segment on his show about liberals not inviting their Donald Trump supporting friends and family to Thanksgiving dinner.

Host Jesse Watters admitted, live on air, that his mom hasn't invited him to the family Thanksgiving meal - but fans don't blame her.
