Fox News host Jesse Watters compares Donald Trump's explosive interview with Black journalists to Megyn Kelly's infamous "only Rosie O'Donnell" remark, predicting it will leave a lasting impact on the upcoming presidential election.
In a fiery appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists' conference, former President Donald Trump engaged in a contentious interview with several Black journalists, sparking a fierce debate about respect, decency, and the future of American politics.

Fox News host Jesse Watters, who has frequently defended Trump, believes the former president's unapologetic demeanor will resonate with millions of Black Americans and ultimately benefit his chances in the 2024 presidential election.
"Trump won't tolerate disrespect," Watters asserted on his show, "Jesse Watters Primetime." "That exchange will leave a mark. It's like the Megyn Kelly moment at the debate. Remember, 'only Rosie O'Donnell'? It's going to leave a mark."

Watters praised Trump for attending the event, despite the potential backlash, and contrasted his presence with the absence of Vice President Kamala Harris, who declined to participate.
"Donald Trump didn't have to go to the National Black Journalists' Convention in Chicago," Watters said. "What just happened could even cost him votes. But he wanted to go because, as president, he wants to work for them."
Watters argued that Trump's refusal to be disrespected is a desirable trait in a leader, emphasizing the importance of standing up for one's country and values.
"If you're invited into someone's house and they disrespect you, it doesn't matter who they are, what they look like, Black, female, whatever," Watters declared. "Trump doesn't tolerate disrespect. And as president, whether you like him or not, whether he makes you feel uncomfortable or not, that's the attitude you want in a leader."
Watters dismissed criticism of Trump's abrasive style, arguing that the country's problems are more important than personal feelings.
"So what if Biden and Harris say all the right things and don't make you feel anxious?" Watters asked. "The country's a mess. Your feelings are the problem. These insecure people are so privileged that they're putting their own personal feelings about a president's vibe over their own countryman's lives."
While some may find Trump's approach offensive or divisive, Watters believes it will ultimately be effective in winning over voters who feel that their concerns have been ignored by the Biden administration.
"Mr. Nice Guy Joe Biden and laughing Kamala Harris, politically correct, but cowards won't stand up for our sovereignty or our safety," Watters said. "Might not look pretty, but it works. And his presidency proved that."
