Fox Newss Jesse Watters read out a text from his mother in which she urged the host not take up the role of Donald Trumps chief of staff if offered by the president.

The advice of DO NOT accept an offer to be Chief of Staff was broadcast on the network during the latest installment of Mom Texts where Watters reads out messages which have been sent to him by his liberal mother, Dr. Anne Watters.

John Kelly recently announced he would be leaving the role as Trumps chief of staff at the end of the year. Rep. Mark Meadows and Nick Ayers, currently chief of staff to vice president Mike Pence, are among those who are reported to have turned down the opportunity to replace Kelly.

Jesse Watters, a right-wing political commentator, also read out a number of other messages recently sent to him by his mother, admitting that "these are piling up fast.

The first text, which simply reads: [Paul] Manafort is a criminal, was read out in the wake of Robert Mueller saying Trumps former campaign chairmen lied to the special counsels office during the Russia investigation having previously being convicted of eight felony fraud charges.

"Short and sweet, Mom," Jesse Watters said about the text.

In another text, Watters's mother writes: Jesse, the Mueller investigation is now a 3 pronged attackyou read Axiosand you are coming across as utterly unethical and valueless? Why do that?

"You don't have the expertise nor the knowledge to question the special counsel's investigation until you know what they know," Dr. Watters adds. Hush Jesse.

Watterss mother also reminds her son that "we are a nation of laws and asks him to tone down the strident attack on our court system.

You end up presenting as lacking a moral compass honey. We all know you are a TrumpetYou dont need to scream it."

In a two-part message to the host, Dr. Watters adds: Please bring just a TAD more measured caution to your heretofore overly exited support of this president; you really are presenting as really out there Jesse. And above all, please stay in your wheelhouseyou can have an opinion but lets acknowledge you have no legal expertise."

In a previous segment of Mom Texts, Dr. Watters attacked Trump following his tweet directed at adult film star Stormy Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, in which he called her horseface.

Any political arena is fraught with name calling, as well as wretched accusations by all sorts of players, but not by the president of the United States.

"To normalize his behavior [of] calling a woman 'horseface' demeans you and makes you appear crass, and quite awful and misogynistic," Dr. Watters wrote, reports Fox News Insider.

...Why is this an actual recurring segment he does? Does he think he's somehow "owning the libs" by wrecking himself on national television?

Yes. I bet he does this to be like "look at my liberal mom and how insane she is" to their audience of people who also hate liberals.

It's this. Newsweek included video of the segment, basically tries to play it off as "Oh mother, you're so crazy!"

Yeah, actually he probably does. Lol

Those crazy libs. Wanting a president to act with basic manners and respect. What madness will they come up with next!

This is almost the times that some Republican students wore diapers to own the libs.

Republicans are fucking cruel to their own parents

Nothing says 'family values' more than a concerted effort to attempt to make your mom look like a fool in front of a national audience on a nightly basis.

Even worse hes attacking his own mother in the name of owning libs. Its weird...

I don't think he's trying to make his mom look like a fool, and nothing really suggests that he is.

What do you think the intent is behind that segment?
---

His mom most likely didn't write that and he probably told his mom about the segment anyway.

Family values.

Maybe it's some weird attempt at self-deprecation to seem relatable? Either way, it's fucking weird.

So basically he's Alex P. Keaton irl

Does it matter what I think? My guess would be as baseless as yours is.

Be aware of your own biases. I would say he was making fun of his mother if he was changing his mother's texts, or having her say unreasonable things, but the things she says are things that I would say.

Furthermore, he's not disrespecting her with his own comments on national television either.

It would be highly unreasonable to assume that he's making her look like a fool, when nothing he's doing her makes her look like a fool. A right-wing commentator having a liberal mother is probably funny to a section of people, much like a left-wing commentator with a right wing parent is horrifying to the left.

Hes reading tweets that she sent him in private that could be considered political and making sarcastic quips about them...what exactly is his intention IYO?

Once again, my opinion is every bit as baseless as yours. He likely got her permission, and it would be once again, baseless to assume he didn't. The only reason why you would believe that he didn't is because you already have a negative opinion of him.

Asking my opinion is the logical equivalent of a theist asking an atheist, "THEN WHAT DID HAPPEN HMMMM?".

It's simply... not logical.

I think it's meant to be funny. This is evidenced by how everyone laughs about it. And they don't laugh at her, they laugh at the nature of the text.

See. Just a coward.

I don't think making guesses about people's relationships with their parents makes you brave. It's not like you know anything about their relationship.

Furthermore, It's not even like your guess makes any sense. It's a reoccurring segment, his mom continues texting him, and she is likely aware that he continuously puts them on his show (someone would have told her if he didn't.) So despite him being disrespectful, she continues giving him ammo to do his segment. So we can assume she doesn't care.

Revealing private messages from your mom on tv to make fun of is certainly not respectful behavior.

Idk why you feel the need to defend this so much.

Because I'm not going to get offended on behalf on someone else with no knowledge of their relationship. Nor will I project the relationship I have with my mother onto their relationship. (My mother would be mortified.)

This should be obvious to anyone who has the capacity to think about anything for more than three seconds.

No one is offended here. We just think he's an idiot and has no respect for his mom.

Do you think the same about comedians that make jokes about their family? Do you assume the same every time someone tells you something their parents said at the dinner table? Or are you, as some liberals are predisposed to doing, making a special exception for this case, because he's someone you do not like or agree with, and then working backward.

Then when called out on your shallow reasoning, getting extremely defensive? Because let's be real here...

What evidence do you have that he's trying to disrespect his mother?

What evidence do you have that is mother has not approved this?

What evidence do you have that his mother even cares?

If the answer is none to all of these questions, then you should probably refrain from making any judgments whatsoever. Because you don't know what you're talking about.

Comedians generally don't read private messages from their moms.

Usually it's just stories of things that happened.

I just think you are looking for a reason to be offended by people calling out his actions.

God damn lmao

Did I say you were offended? I just said it seems like you are looking for a reason to be offended.

What? I simply think your logic is horrible and that you are jumping to conclusions. I said as much. When conservatives are trying to embarrass someone, it's extremely obvious that they are.

The very debate style employed by liberals in this specific topic is dumb.

"what do you think he was doing"
"You're a coward for not guessing"
"doing x is inherently disrespectful"
"no i don't have any evidence, but i'll ignore it"

If this topic was about the Mueller investigation, I'd think I was talking to HypnoCoosh, Mal_Fet, and Muffinzorz.

It seems to me you also don't respect your mom.

>_> Alright. We're done here.

It's not like his mom doesn't know about it, she clearly watches his show

He's making jokes at his mother's expense to an audience that blindly eats up anything anti-liberal. I don't need to make assupmtions about how his mother feels or what she knows to be against that.
---

haha guys would you believed the well reasoned generally correct criticisms my mother sends me through text about how she's disappointed in me? woah! wacky! tune in next time where i talk about how my wife won't sleep in the same bed as me
