Fox News ’ Jesse Watters on Monday received some stark on-air advice — from his own mother — and a warning not to lose his job as he officially took over the conservative network’s marquee 8 p.m. slot previously occupied by Tucker Carlson .
“Do not tumble into any conspiracy rabbit holes. We do not want to lose you and we want no lawsuits,” Anne Watters, a Democrat who has publicly called out her son for showing “disdain for diversity” and making controversial “sweeping statements,” said in a telephone call.
“In keeping with the Hippocratic oath, do no harm,” Anne Watters continued. “We need you to be kind and respectful.”
She also encouraged her son — who has a history of making racist, sexist and transphobic comments — to use his formidable platform “responsibly to promote conversation that maintains a narrative thread.”
There had been enough “bashing” of President Joe Biden , she said. “Seek solution versus fanning the flames,” Anne Watters added, before making this mocking suggestion involving former President Donald Trump , the front-runner in the GOP 2024 race:
“You could encourage that Bedminster friend of yours to return to his earlier career on television. Everyone in his audience could wear a red hat and I’m sure the ratings would soar, although never as high, my darling, as yours, on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime.’”
