FoxNews Host Reads Text From His Mom: 'Do Not Accept Offer to be Chief of Staff for Donald Trump'

From NewsWeek:

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

Watters read the first text: “[Paul] Manafort is a criminal,” after Robert Mueller said Trump’s former campaign chairman had lied to the special counsel’s office during the Russia investigation, after Manafort had previously been found guilty on eight felony fraud charges.

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

In another text, Watters's mother wrote: “Jesse, the Mueller investigation is now a 3 pronged attack—you read Axios—and 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," Anne Watters added. “Hush Jesse.”

Watters’s mother also reminded her son that "we are a nation of laws” and asked 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 Trumpet—You don’t need to scream it."

Are there any others on Fox who are testing the waters, smoothing the path, prepping to flip against TrumPutin?

His mother didn't pass on her intelligence genes.

She is giving him good advice, he's just not smart enough to take it.

It's one of the few times when something from the real world breaks into the Fox bubble.

It can't hurt for the regular Fox devotees to hear these things, even if only briefly.
