Fox News Host’s Hypocrisy Exposed After Veteran Friend’s Layoff
Jesse Watters, initially supportive of the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) workforce reductions, reversed his stance after a veteran friend faced potential layoff. He argued veterans deserve priority during DOGE initiatives, claiming their service warrants exemption from cuts. This marked a significant shift from his previous endorsement of DOGE’s actions, prompting criticism for his apparent hypocrisy. Critics highlighted the incongruity of his position, pointing out that prioritizing veterans aligns with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles. His colleagues on “The Five” acknowledged his changed perspective, playfully noting his internal conflict.
