Fox News Jesse Watters wants Trump to invade | TV Shows

Fox News host Jesse Watters stirred up controversy on Thursday after floating the concept of a “mostly peaceful invasion” of Canada, which Trump slammed with tariffs earlier this yr, prompting online backlash.

During Tuesday’s broadcast of The Five, Watters addressed the continuing debate over gerrymandering, suggesting that if Democrats had been going to “rip up the rules,” Republicans ought to play just as aggressively by annexing elements of Canada.

“If he needs to gerrymander, he is going to gerrymander,” Watters, who was brutally focused by Greg Gutfeld last week, said.

“And if they want to add stars to the flag, okay, we will just take Alberto, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and it doesn’t have to be aggressively. We can take it peacefully. It will be mostly peaceful invasion.”

He continued: “And those are three states, that means six Republican senators. See what we did there?”

A 3rd penned, “Why do they think Canadians would vote for Republicans.”

“Annexing Canada is now Republican strategy,” a fourth acknowledged.

The 46-year-old is no stranger to provocative statements and has continuously drawn criticism.

He is co-host of The Five and now leads his own show, Jesse Watters Primetime, which frequently ranks among the most-watched cable news applications.
