NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News firebrand Jesse Watters on Monday called for Charlie Kirk’s haters to face a judgment day of sorts.

On 'The Five', Watters said forgiveness was possible but only if critics of Kirk get down on their knees.

Jesse Watters' one-time offer

“We can forgive, but they have to get on their knees and they have to beg for forgiveness,” Watters declared on the panel. “They have to repent their political sins. Only then will we allow them back into polite society. Until then, we will be seeking them out and exposing them with sunlight. We will disinfect them with sunlight. Everything they say or do will be exposed, and then everybody will know who they are. And they will not be allowed to be with us, live with us, be in our companies, be in our social groups, no! I’m not living with people who celebrate assassinations.”



 

Hours later on Primetime, Watters offered those who cheered Kirk’s death a one-shot deal to atone.

“These people are incapable of turning the temperature down, so it’s our responsibility to do it for them, for the safety of the country and for their own safety,” he told viewers. “Their heinous movement should be politically destroyed, systematically dismantled, their financial backing should be bankrupted, their media sponsors defeated in the marketplace, their candidates beaten at the ballot box, and their acolytes in academia behind the pulpit, in city councils and corporate America will be spotlighted and given one chance to confess and apologize. And if they don’t, thrown out of polite society.”

“We cannot live with people and work with people like this,” Watters pressed on. “They can’t teach our children. They can’t be trusted with power and positions of authority. Every God-fearing American should take it upon themselves to get involved, get organized and do what’s right for themselves, for their families and for the United States of America.”

Left-wing meltdowns

The Fox host’s fury wasn’t unprovoked. Some on the left have reacted to Kirk’s killing with shocking and sometimes even gleeful outbursts.

Recently, an 18-year-old Texas Tech freshman ended up in cuffs after crashing a campus vigil for the slain conservative activist.

Camryn Giselle Booker was filmed bouncing around, taunting mourners, and screaming, “F**k y’all homie dead, he got shot in the head.”



 

When a man in a MAGA hat calmly asked why she was being “so hateful,” Booker shoved her phone in his face and mocked him right back. “I want to be left alone,” the man said, but Booker wasn’t backing down.

Someone off-camera chimed in that she was “too emotional.”

“I’m not being emotional, ma’am. Don’t tell me what I am and what I’m not,” she snapped. “You could get out of my face ’cause I can tell you what you are, but you won’t like it.”

When accused of being aggressive, Booker hit back harder. “I’m not being aggressive. My voice is very calm. You’re calling me aggressive because I’m a Black woman," she alleged.

Cop canned for mocking Charlie Kirk

It’s not just students popping off. A school resource officer in Westchester, New York, found herself out of a job after her alleged online comments about Kirk’s death sparked outrage.

Tanisha Blanche, who was stationed at Somers Intermediate School with the Westchester County Police Department, reportedly mocked the killing on social media. Screenshots of her alleged posts made the rounds online, and the fallout was immediate.

“Well, that white sniper was overqualified when he put that hole in your neck hunni bunni,” Blanche allegedly wrote under one video. When people blasted her, she allegedly fired back, “This is who y’all crying about on my feed? Get a life.”
