Internet says 'you're fired Biden' as Fox News' Jesse Watters tears into President for 'staged campaign'
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News host Jesse Watters criticized President Joe Biden's 2024 election campaign and his statement expressing regret for referring to the suspected killer of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley as an "illegal."
According to Watters, Biden's regret stems from not wanting to be associated with the term "illegal," as it would imply complicity in inviting and protecting illegal immigrants in the US.
Donald Trump's compassion vs Joe Biden's oversight of Laken Riley's murder
Watters highlighted Trump's heartfelt meeting with Laken Riley's family backstage before he spoke at a rally in Georgia on March 9, where he not only offered condolences but also placed responsibility for her death squarely at the feet of the President.
Watters said, "This is the tale of two campaigns. One is electric, the other staged. One man cares, the other pretends to and should probably write Georgia off after the Laken Riley murder."
"Donald Trump met with her family backstage before his speech, consoled them, and laid her death at the feet of the president," he added.
Watters suggested that not only have Biden's policies contributed to Riley's death, but he also failed to reach out to the grieving family and allegedly mispronounced Riley's name—an oversight that further exacerbated the family's pain.
"Meanwhile, the current president, whose policies create death, called Laken Riley the wrong name and still hasn't even called her family to apologize. But Biden did apologize to someone – Laken's killer," he said.
Jesse Watters criticizes Joe Biden's apology to an 'illegal' immigrant
Watters used the term "illegal" deliberately, emphasizing, "Biden regrets disrespecting an illegal who killed an American. The illegal disrespected our border, our laws and Laken Riley's life. And Biden apologized to him. He didn't apologize to Laken's family, for letting the killer into the country or for getting her name wrong."
He added, saying, "He apologized to her killer, for getting his name right."
In Watters' analysis, "An illegal immigrant is someone who immigrated into the country illegally. It's a crime to break into the country. Just like it's a crime to break into a house. A burglar isn't undocumented because his name's not on the deed. He's a criminal because he's breaking and entering."
"That's illegal," Watters further noted, continuing, "Biden doesn't like saying "illegal" because it makes him complicit in the crime, since he invited them here and released them and protects them from deportation."
"If illegals are just newcomers, it makes amnesty easier. But apologizing to migrant murderers in an election year. He's digging his political grave, and the White House knows it and denies it was even an apology," he concluded.
Social media reactions
In response to Watters' analysis, netizens took to the segment's YouTube section, with one writing, "We need a president that serves for the people and not the liberal media."
While one user stated, "You are fired Mr. Biden," another noted, "He apologized cause he knows now that felons are voters! Trump."
Another viewer said, "Just when I thought this could not get crazier , he apologizes to the killer . This is insane."
"Undocumented beause the person does not have legal permission to be here...therefore here illegally....therefore illegal," clarified another.
One person said, "Can't wait to get rid of this mess."
