NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: On ‘Jesse Watters Primetime,’ Fox News host Jesse Watters humorously criticizes "spoiled brat" Hunter Biden for his unexpected appearance at the contempt hearing held by the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.

He claimed that Hunter’s “international bribery ring” could sing his father, Joe Biden.

This came as Hunter unexpectedly appeared alongside his attorneys during Wednesday morning's House Oversight Committee meeting.

The committee was convened to discuss a resolution that, if approved, would pave the way for a full House vote on whether to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress.

This action is in response to his defiance of a congressional subpoena issued as part of the House impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.

Watters took to X, formerly known as Twitter to share his take on Hunter’s appearance, however, he received backlash from many people on the internet.

Jesse Watters calls Hunter Biden a ‘spoiled brat’

Fox News anchor Jesse Watters took to X and wrote, “Today was 'Don’t you know who my Daddy is?' Day. Today Hunter broke the law and admitted his daddy chatted with clients, but Hunter doesn’t care- he’s making a movie.”



 

In his monologue, Watters said, “Hunter won't show up to a paternity test, but oh, he will be there front row for the contempt hearing, for sure.”

“Everybody knows someone like this guy: – a rich, spoiled brat with a drug problem who can get away with murder because his family knows the right people.”

He continued, “Now, the spoiled brat is 53 years old. He hasn't paid his taxes for years, and he's caught up in an international bribery ring that could sink his father, 'The Big Guy,' who's been calling the shots. Today was 'Don't you know who my daddy is?' Day.”

He said, “'I'm here with my lawyer and my banker and I don't have to do anything I don't want to because daddy says.’ When you know your pop will pardon you, you can walk all over Congress like a time masseuse.”

“Remember, Hunter was there to answer questions, but when a Republican was about to ask them one, he bolted.”



 

Internet calls Jesse Watters ‘dishonest’

Many X users took a brutal jab at Jesse Watters.

One person wrote, “There will come a day when Fox will sour on you because you’re dishonest. They will dump you just like your buddy Tucker,” and another said, “You are an embarrassment.”



 



 

An X user simply called out Watters, saying, “And Jessie the cheater,” and another said, “But Jesse doesn't care, he's making money.”



 



 

One more person slammed the host, stating, “lol. This was the best Jessie could do? Sad,” and another shared a similar opinion, “Intelligent people do not take you seriously. Intelligent people do not watch your show.”



 



 

One user took a brutal jab at Watters, “You sound lame,” and another added, “Your show is stupid, at best. Your hair looks like Eddie Munsters!  My entire family room is laughing at you!”
