'Lying for the orange felon': Jesse Watters skewered as he hails Trump over unprecedented GOP unity after Capitol visit

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Fox News host Jesse Watters claimed the Republican Party has reached unprecedented levels of unity under the leadership of former President Donald Trump in a bold declaration on 'Jesse Watters Primetime': 

Watters' assessment came in the wake of the 2024 Congressional Baseball Game, where Republicans dominated the field with a resounding 31–11 victory over their Democratic counterparts.

Republican triumph on the field and in politics

"A swing and a miss," Watters quipped, summarizing the outcome of the game, suggesting that it echoed a broader trend in politics.

He drew parallels between baseball and politics, noting that repeated strikes by Democrats — what he termed as "hoax after hoax," such as the "dictator on day one" narrative — have placed them on the defensive, allowing the Republicans to take charge.

"In last night's congressional baseball game, it's all Democrats heard," Watters remarked, emphasizing the overwhelming victory by the Republican team. He speculated that the lopsided score could offer a glimpse into the future electoral landscape, suggesting that the Republicans may replicate their success come November.

Highlighting Trump's return to Capitol Hill after nearly four years, Watters emphasized the former president's concerted efforts to foster unity within the GOP.

"Donald Trump was back on Capitol Hill for the first time in almost four years," he noted, highlighting Trump's meetings with House Republicans, senators, and business leaders as a testament to his active engagement in rallying support and strengthening the party's cohesion.

Trump's unifying efforts and Republican strength

"Donald Trump's running around DC trying to unite the party and the country because teamwork makes the dream work," Watters remarked, underscoring the importance of collective effort in achieving political goals.

He further asserted, "We've never seen the Republican Party this united under Trump," suggesting a newfound sense of cohesion and purpose within the party ranks.

Contrasting the perceived unity within the Republican ranks, Watters painted a picture of disarray within the Democratic Party. “Democrats are down late in the game. Your pitcher's throwing trash. You can't yank them because you have no bullpen — look at Kamala — so you just have to keep throwing trash."

Moreover, Watters dismissed the notion propagated by some media outlets that Trump's primary focus is seeking revenge. "The media wants you to think Trump spends every waking second plotting revenge," he remarked.
