MAGA superfan Jesse Watters once again laments DOGE cuts that impact him

www.independent.co.uk

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.

“I just saw some news that Trump took some grants away from Johns Hopkins where my sister works and now my mom is upset,” Watters told guest Ned Ryun, the founder of conservative nonprofit American Majority.
“She’s texting me. It’s going to be a whole family thing, so we’re going to have to deal with that over the weekend,” Watters said.
I can't tell if he's upset about his sister's job or that his mom is going to be bothering the whole family about it.
- 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~~producer into dating him by deflating her tires is another example of that.
  
  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:

- I love how it only is a problem when it affects someone he knows. That's SUCH a conservative cliche.
- The latter.
- He's not upset about anything because he's not capable of feeling those emotions.
- That's because you're giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Watters is a creep
Watters, 43, shared the memory about his wife Emma DiGiovine, 29, during an episode of his panel series The Five last week, where he told his colleagues that he had relied on the tactic to get close to his then-colleague.
“When I was trying to get Emma to date me, first thing I did, uh, I let the air out of her tyres,” Watters claimed. “She couldn’t go anywhere, she needed a lift. I said: ‘Hey, you need a lift?’ She hopped right in the car.”
- Damn, he DENNISed her.
  
  Because of the implication
- “When I was trying to get Emma to date me, first thing I did, uh, I let the air out of her tyres,” Watters claimed. “She couldn’t go anywhere, she needed a lift. I said: ‘Hey, you need a lift?’ She hopped right in the car.”
  Ms. DiGiovine, how do you feel now that you've learned your whole married was born on a lie intentionally meant to make you feel unsafe so your now husband would be an attractive option to you in that moment?
- wtf
- Jesus, that's a rough 43.
This fucker gets to talk on the news a out his personal problems?
US News outlets are soso weird
- He's a Fox talking head. It's not an actual news program.
Hey cunt. Get fucked.
Sincerely,
Everyone
- I wish, but the article says he still supports it and wants more cuts. He only doesn't like that his family is going to argue with him.
- Life imitating art.
All of them can get fucked.
tl;dr: "he's only supposed to be hurting them, not me too".
Hahahahahahahahahahabahahahahagahahahahavavavahahjddieuebdndhsjsjshdhsjsksjdjs

Sucks to suck.
He’s an oversized polyp
Do you mean Maga replacement talking head grifter of tucker carlson
He’s a super moron.
I thought DOGE is a memecoin 🤔
- I try to take to heart that somebody is always learning about something basic for the first time and that that's okay BUT where the hell have you been the last couple of months that you haven't heard of DOGE the agency?!?!
  
  There's an XKCD reference here in too lazy to link.
- Department of Government Efficiency
  And by efficiency, they mean efficiently padding Elon’s pockets and stealing data.
- You are the archetypal uninformed voter, aren't you?
- Read this comment.
  And in case you don’t want to click the link, here’s the meat and potatoes;
  …apparently watters's family are pretty openly liberal and his mother regularly, publicly, criticizes him for the hatemonger he is.
  Still a cunt?
  
  I really don't know how I would deal with one of my kids turning into a massive douchenoozle 🙁
  
  Well, she birthed him
