'Trump inherited his money': Jesse Watters trolled as he claims Kamala Harris didn't earn her position

WASHINGTON, DC: Fox News host Jesse Watters has made headlines with his claim that the Democratic Party is backing Vice President Kamala Harris due to President Joe Biden's exit from the 2024 race, but argues her rise to power lacks legitimacy.

"Democrats smashed and grabbed 14 million votes from Biden and just redistributed them to Harris. She didn't earn this. She inherited it, and Americans aren't hot on heirs. They like self-made men and women. They're brainwashing us," Watters declared on 'Jesse Watters Primetime.'

The Fox News host pointed to substantial support Harris is receiving from key Democratic figures and donors. He highlighted endorsements from influential leaders like Nancy Pelosi, significant financial backing from donors, and the swift support from Biden's delegates as evidence of a coordinated effort to prop up Harris.

Harris's aggressive move into Biden's campaign territory and her control over his war chest further fueled Watters's claims. In a dramatic twist, Biden himself, though no longer a candidate, vowed to campaign for Harris, emphasizing the continuity of their political agenda.

Kamala Harris highlights Joe Biden's achievements while signaling leadership transition

Kamala Harris, in her statements, praised Joe Biden's accomplishments but subtly shifted the narrative from "we" to "he," signaling a transition of leadership.

"Joe got the COVID-19 pandemic under control. Remember those days, he has created more than 15 million new jobs," said Harris. "He brought together Republicans and Democrats and passed historic legislation. Joe has stood up for democracy at home and he has stood up for democracy abroad and he has always stood up for what he believes is right. President Joe Biden fights for the American people and we are deeply, deeply grateful for his service to our nation."

Despite her attempts to rally support, Watters criticized her lack of popularity and effectiveness, citing polling data that shows her trailing behind Trump.

"A big reason why Biden didn't drop out earlier was because he didn't think Kamala could beat Trump. And the polls showed Joe's right," the Fox host stated.

"Trump's beating her by nine points in Georgia. She's doing worse with limited minorities than Biden was. So if she can't beat Trump, why'd they whack Biden? Because Kamala doesn't have dementia. Democrats in the media tried to run a mentally diminished candidate and got caught. She's just the next puppet in line," he added.

Jesse Watters accuses Democrats of rigging the system

"Democrats smashed and grabbed 14 million votes from Biden and they just redistributed them to Harris. She didn't earn this. She inherited it and Americans aren't hot on airs. They like self-made men and women. They're brainwashing us," Watters stated.

"We know they're brainwashing us, but they don't think we know the Wall Street Journal out with a massive report today that Washington insiders and foreign diplomats have known Biden was comatose for years and worked around the clock to hide it from you," he further claimed.

"Biden hasn't met with House Democrats about legislation for three years. He hasn't held a cabinet meeting in almost a year. Foreign dignitaries say Biden had to bail out in the middle of meetings. Donors said he'd tell the same story two times if you tried to speak out, you were threatened and blackballed. The strategy was 'ignore the problem, nothing to see here and run out the clock.'" Watters added.

He called for an immediate investigation into the Biden administration, demanding accountability from White House aides and Harris herself.

"They're saying if Joe's not fit enough to run for president, then he can't be president. So we have the 25th amendment out of there and make Kamal a president," Watters said.

"She's even more radical and incompetent than he is here to give her air force one the presidential seal and have her hug hurricane victims in September republicans should launch an immediate investigation into the Biden cognitive cover up subpoena all the White House aides, the White House doctor and Kamala Harris herself, make her testify under oath. What did she know and when did she know it?" he concluded.
