The UN is headquartered in New York. This guy therefore is directly calling for terrorist acts to be committed on US soil. That's slammer-worthy.
Who's doing the political violence again?
For anyone curious. This is terrorism. Specifically "Stochastic Terrorism"
Textbook example. Because there's a real solid chance some fucking lunatic decides to act on his careless words.
careless words.
There's nothing careless about this. This is intentional.
Again, why is it ok for rightwing people to openly call for violence using their public platforms?
Other groups can not and do not do this in US politics, why are rightwing people the only ones allowed to do this?
I don't think anybody should speak this callously and invoke specific targeted violence with such carelessness, just because Jesse Watters doesn't understand or care about the consequences of his words spoken on a large public platform doesn't mean he isn't increasing the likelihood of actual violent acts by saying what he does.
edit I mean really, it would be one thing to sit around a firepit with your drinking buddies and throw something this disgusting out of your mouth and laugh about it, which I still find disgusting and lame, but we are talking about saying these words as a prominent public figure which makes it that much more a damning commitment to bigotry.
Because they're fascists and fascists currently control our government.
The proper response is to arm yourself and help everyone you know arm themselves.
WATTERS: And then they sabotaged the teleprompter. I mean, this is an insurrection.
Broken escalator + teleprompter fail = insurrection.
Everything is an insurrection with these idiots.
Except the actual insurrection they did
That's the goal when they call everything else an insurrection. Water it down when they do it.
Any time they get accused of something, you can bet they’ll start calling others it shortly after.
Every time they accuse others of something unprompted, you can bet they have already done it .
Except actual insurrection. They want to water down the word in people's minds so the terrorist attack of Trump supporters trying to kill the people certifying the 2020 election and Donald's subsequent pardoning of all those terrorists and firing of anyone who dared participate in the investigation against them doesn't seem so bad.
And yet despite making a specific direct call to violence yet another Fox host will not be held accountable.
Yeah, and my favorite part is that the UN said the White House was responsible for the prompter. So they likely just forgot a flash drive or something dumb
So not only does the host not know what an insurrection is, nor what the UN is apparently, they clearly don't care at all about anything but spreading hate
They're intentionally misusing 'insurrection' to try to make it seem like NOBODY knows what it is, so that January 6th seems like a hoax or Democratic hot air.
But Jimmy Kimmel's remarks were too inflammatory for him to stay on the air.
So much violent rhetoric from the right. And yet the right and their "centrist" boosters keep saying it's the left that is so hateful and violent.
And just like the dude that said we should kill the homeless. Nothing will happen.
Jesse Watters is a fascist and a terrorist, his fuhrer's own people fucked up the teleprompter and he's calling for mass murder of allies and civilians over it.
UN headquarters needs to be in Geneva or something, not in one of the 5 nuclear powers. Seriously wtf, this looked biased AF. Like how would the average American feel if UN was located in Moscow or Shanghai?
Somewhere in Switzerland would be a better place for the UN headquarters.
P.S.: That Watters guy is calling for terrorist attacks in New York, what a violent traitor.
And it turned out both of these failures were caused by Trump's team.
So Trump hires incompetent people (because they are yes men), they fuck up and make him look bad, and the intermediate solution is to kill the people who happened to be near by at the time before there's any actual information available.
Got it.
So the fcc is going to jump in and demand hes taken off the air right??
Republicans: We're not Nazis, the Nazis were actually left-wing.
Also Republicans:
I get that at work a lot with men in their 20s.
I don't hesitate at all to correct their ignorance.
One guy argued that the whole political spectrum was left. I said: "Where does conservatism fit in"? He said that conservatives don't follow this spectrum and that is why they are not in it.
They are fed lies early, by god knows who, and they regurgitate them as talking points.
When challenged, their ideas usually change but some are not as intelligent and are harder to break through to.
Fuck fascism, it's destroying young minds.
The UN doesn't control the teleprompter. Trump's team controlled the teleprompter. If someone else had access to it, they could fuck with the speeches and change words and shit. Under normal circumstances, the speech given by the president to the UN would need to be very carefully worded to avoid international incidents. Trump is a walking international catastrophe, so that's a silly accusation regardless.
Ok, what corporations do we need to boycott to get this guy fired?
Edit: Here's a few as of April Advertisers embrace conservative media in the new Trump era
According to the TV measurement firm iSpot. tv, new blue-chip advertisers appearing on Fox News national linear broadcasts since the election include Gucci, Busch Beer, and Netflix. New advertisers in this analysis were characterized as having not advertised on the channel since 2022. These brands didn't respond to requests for comment.
Companies including Amazon, GE Vernova, JPMorgan Chase, Netflix and UBS have recently aired advertisements on Fox News for the first time in at least two years.
Oh cool, even more reason to hate JP Morgan. Pedophile protectors always seem to flock together.
This is not the sweet onion of satire. This is the strong garlic of reality.
"I hope they get to the bottom of it, and I hope they really injure, emotionally, the people that did it."
Cool. Perhaps someone could bomb, emotionally, Jesse Watters? Like a really emotional F-bomb, I mean.
By the way, the intended purpose of this isn't to comment on the UN or whatever. The purpose is to openly flaunt the fact that the rules don't apply to them whatsoever. With this and the "kill the homeless" comment, they want to rub it in the faces of leftists and liberals. If those groups say anything even slightly controversial about Charlie Kirk, it's disgusting and vile and they demand severe consequences. But Confederates can say whatever, because they have the power and they want everyone to know it and feel it.
FOX is definitely going to suspend him, right?
I await with bated breath the FCC statement saying this can be resolved the easy way or hard way.
Trump's FCC:
Motherfucker thinks demolishing the building will destroy the UN.
Wtf is wrong with these people? And WTF is wrong with those who find them worth watching?
I dont know who that is, but hes going to jail. Or at least, he fucking should be.
And he'll keep on talking like that until he feels consequences for his actions.
I can't decide whether Fox and Friends or The Five is the worst segment on Fox. Seems like they're in competition for the title. The both of them are technically comedy or even satire segments, but of course they use that as a shield from criticism. "No reasonable person would take this seriously", just like they argue in court when they get sued for the raw sewage they spew into public discourse.
But "Kill all of the homeless" and "destroy the UN and everyone who's part of it" are only jokes if you find those actions amusing.
If he was a Trans or hated Nazis this would be TERRORISM! FORTUNATELY he isn't So it's just a LoL!
So. Is it ok to ask the universe to cancel this dudes television career? Nothing mean. Just fire his ass and put him on unemployment.
The right: "Everything not actually an insurrection that I don't like is AN INSURRECTION. The actual J6 insurrection? NOT an insurrection, Taco was being just when he set those political prisoners free!"
The right are murderous stochastic terrorists and we are the infidels.
Is Fox News rebranding to The Murder Channel? Killing the homeless, gassing the UN. Why are republicans allowed to roam free, they are a danger to Humanity.
so where is Brendan Carr and his threats?
Ah, but we incite violence.
Hear me out. "The boys" isn't a parody on the US. It's the other way around.
And the "left" is wringing its hands impotently, worried about appearing threatening.
