“Your mom is now a national treasure”: Jesse Watters mother wins over the internet with savage on-air advice

Jesse Watters is going viral online after his mother called in during his latest Fox News appearance. The political commentator recently replaced Tucker Carlson and his famous 8 pm show slot. Watters’ mother warned her son not to “tumble into any conspiracy rabbit holes” regarding President Joe Biden, which left the internet in a frenzy.

Jesse Watters asked his Democrat mother Anne Watters how she was liking the show and if she had any advice for him. The journalist went on to receive a series of blunders he should be avoiding. It seems like the mother and child psychologist was giving hints about how her son must avoid the fate of Tucker Carlson.

While referring to her son as “honeybun” on national news, Anne Watters added:

“We are so proud of you and your accomplishments, and you’ve worked so hard. Now let’s aim to have you keep your job. And to that end, I do have some suggestions- do not tumble into any conspiracy rabbit holes, we do not want to lose you and we do not want lawsuits.”

Anne Watters went on to cite the Hippocratic Oath and asked her son to “do no harm” and “be kind.” She added:

“Use your voice responsibly to promote conversation that maintains a narrative thread. There has really been enough Biden-bashing and the laptop is old. Perhaps you could suggest that your people take less interest in other people’s bodies and talk about that.”

Continuing to direct her son, Anne Watters asked him to encourage seeking “solutions, versus fanning the flames.” She also said:

“You could encourage that Bedminister friend of yours to return to his earlier career on television. Everyone in his audience could wear a red hat.”

It seems like Anne Watters was referring to former President Donald Trump’s previous career as a reality television show host.

Unsurprisingly Jesse Watters appeared exasperated by his mother’s advice but continued to listen to her.

Internet users were fascinated by the television segment and endlessly chuckled at the occurrence. Many could not believe that Jesse Watters was being lectured by his mother on Fox News. Several netizens admired Anne’s views. A few reactions read:

@atrupar She’s a treasure and a lot classier than I am.
If one of my sons went right, they’d never risk a call to me on national tv
