Fox News host Jesse Watters on Tuesday night reacted to the Democratic ticket of Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, calling it a "hoax" and accusing the media of trying to "brainwash" people into believing that they are qualified to lead the country.
"Democrats must be losing this election by a landslide because they're trying to brainwash you into believing their ticket is Jackie Onassis and John Wayne," Watters said in his opening monologue.
Jesse Watters: Tim Walz, Kamala Harris are a 'hoax'
"The CIA's propaganda organ, The New York Times, writes this about Kamala Harris. Are you ready? 'She marshals an arched brow, a studded hand flip and carefully curated sentences. Her wave is controlled, her eyes always fixed on a distant point. Her movements are smooth.'
"The last time the Times slobbered over a politician this blatantly, Chris Matthews got a thrill up his leg… Laying on the flattery this thick, you kind of even make Kamala uncomfortable. Even I don't like it when people kiss my butt that much. I'm looking at you, Gutfeld!"
Watters then went on to criticize Walz, who he said is "trying to lift this guy" by praising him as a "relatable, blue-collar family guy with a folksy charm."
"As of 48 hours ago, they hated Middle America, avoided it like the Ebola virus and mocked it as an ignorant back country," Watters said. "They're now praising the old white man from Minnesota as a relatable, blue-collar family guy with a folksy charm."
Watters also accused Harris of "lying" about her husband, Doug, getting the nanny pregnant, and of using Girl Scouts as "human shields."
"And the media has to run a 91-day cover-up operation to get them out of the mess they're in," Watters said. "Didn't earn the nomination, stole the president's war chest by waltzing around the country with a Chinese cutout who lied about serving in Iraq, while the media calls them joyful, jolly old, middle of the road patriots.
"This is the stupidest campaign I've ever seen," Watters concluded. "It's not even a real campaign. It's like they're ‘pretending the campaign'."
Watters' comments come as the Democratic National Convention is set to begin on Monday. Harris is expected to be nominated for vice president on Wednesday night.
