Fox News viewers have shared concerns about Jesse Watters’ mental health, claiming he’s “losing his marbles” just like they believe Donald Trump is.

On April 5, Jesse Watters joined his fellow co-hosts on Fox News’ The Five, where they discussed the Iran-US ceasefire agreement, issues of domestic security after a recent spate of terrorist attacks and Donald Trump’s recent public appearances. However, there was one moment that really caught the eyes of viewers.

 

As the chyron, “Taco taunts: Libs mock Trump after US and Iran agree to ceasefire,” was seen, Watters said, “We have set them back militarily, years,” before yelling and reiterating, “Years!”

“They can’t come back from this,” he added. “And they have no leadership, they have nothing. They have nothing left, and we did it without boots on the ground.”

 

Watters then continued to praise America’s mission in Iran, as he remarked, slightly chuckling, “And we only lost 13 brave servicemembers. And we did it in the timeline the president said he was going to do it.”

 

Watters: We know the pressure points. We threatened bridge and power plant day and what happened? That threat made them cave. But if you guys can’t even agree that it’s the Gulf of America, we don’t need you. pic.twitter.com/B3SiDjiQWQ

The 47-year-old also claimed that if one rewound it and said that all of these things could happen, that people would’ve said, “I probably would go for it.”

Additionally, Watters claimed the US needed to win “peace” and that while there is a ceasefire, the situation isn’t “over,” further claiming, “It does give the American soldiers a little R&R, which they need. We can rerack the guns, we can bring more interceptors in, and we can watch. We can watch what the Iranians do.”

However, Watters’ ramble didn’t stop there as his co-panelists sat in silence, while he continued with his message, telling them that if Iran “screws around,” the US can come back in and “hit them.”

Reaching the one-minute point in his rant, he directed his next point to Jessica Tarlov when he alleged America knows Iran’s supposed “pressure point” and that when the US threatened “Bridge and Power Plant Day,” Khamenai, “the gay ayatollah,” wanted to sign a deal.

“And now we can just watch, and go in, and just do what we need to do, but if you guys aren’t going to agree with the fact we now call it the Gulf of America,” Watters said. “If you can’t even say that’s good, okay, we don’t need you, you’ve been against everything this guy’s done, good or bad.”

Following Watters’ nearly 90-second ramble, Fox News viewers took to social media to share their thoughts on the broadcast, as one compared him to Trump by saying, “Whoa, this guy is losing his marbles just like Grandpa.”

Another then added, “Ok Watters, take your dunce peers and MAGAs and make your own country- you’d implode!” while a third chimed in to say, “Hey jess!!! Shut the hell up. You sound stupid.”

“Watters is an a– kissing idiot, which makes him a perfect candidate for a future cabinet position,” commented a fourth, with a fifth Fox News viewer concluding, “He has to be doing this for attention, or this is scripted, because no one can be this obviously wrong.”
