Journalist Amanda Terkel...once stalked by Jesse Waters...writes about his "vacation."

Fox News Host Jesse Watters Finally Gets In Trouble For Something
Insulting Asian-Americans and homeless people is fine, but making a joke about Ivanka Trump is too much.
By Amanda Terkel

Over the years, Fox News personality Jesse Watters has mocked Asian-Americans in New York City’s Chinatown, shamed homeless people, ambushed journalists at their homes and made a number of offensive comments about immigrants, LGBTQ people and others.

Yet through it all, Fox has stood by him. And even though the network recently fired his mentor, Bill O’Reilly, over numerous allegations of sexual harassment, top executives decided to stick with Watters. In fact, they promoted him to be a host on the primetime show “The Five.”




In 2009, Watters ambushed me while I was on vacation, claiming that I was causing rape victims pain and suffering because I wrote a post criticizing O’Reilly for implying that a woman was partially responsible for her own rape because of what she had been wearing and how much she had been drinking. O’Reilly then did several segments about me on his show the next week, calling me a villain.

I hope that Watters is able to enjoy his vacation this week in peace, without anyone following him and ambushing him and his family.

where he asked people how warm it has gotten on Earth in the last 15 years. He tells them only .8 degrees and asks what all the talk about global warming is about. This was prime news time on Fox at the Burger King. The sooner Watters is off the air the better. He does compliment Trump in that they are both seemingly still in Seventh grade.
