Jesse Watters Ambushes Van Jones – And Makes Dubious Claims About What Jones Said

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on April 26, 2012 · Flag

In his weekly Watters World segment on The O’Reilly Factor, ambusher and Fox Nation editor Jesse Watters aired a video chronicling his visit to Green Festival in New York City.  It just so happened that Fox’s favorite African American target (after Barack Obama and Louis Farrakhan), Van Jones was there. Watters ambushed Jones, got some video of their chat, and was booted from the convention. Back in the studio, Watters insisted to a skeptical Bill O’Reilly that Jones had said “Republicans want to poison children” and that it’s on tape. And yet, somehow that didn’t make it into the video.

In the studio discussion, Watters told O’Reilly, “You know what (Jones) actually said? He said the EPA has saved more American lives than the Department of Defense. And that Republicans want to poison children.” 

O’Reilly sounded incredulous. “Jones said the Republicans want to poison children? …Now wait a minute. This guy was actually working in the Obama administration. He actually said the Republican Party wants to kill children?”

“We have it on tape,” Watters assured him.

“Alright, I want to see that tape on Reality Check on Monday,” O’Reilly replied.

So do we, Bill.

Kevin Koster, you are right. I had forgotten about Ramos and Compean. I remembered that there was something not quite legit about Carter but I couldn’t remember what it was. Also, I heard that segment in the car where I couldn’t write myself a note. Unless something jaw-dropping is said, I often forget what I hear in the car.

Van Jones knows how these frauds operate. He should of ask Intern Jesse about Ruthless Rupy’s News Corporation hacking scandal.

ATTENTION PUBLIC PEOPLE!

Turn the tables on Intern Jesse. If you encounter the boy, ask him these critical questions. We can guarantee you that that segment will not air on Fox “News” Channel.

1. How do you feel working for a company involved in phone hacking?

2. Should Rupert Murdoch step down as CEO of News Corporation?

3. Why is Fox “News” not covering the News Corporation hacking scandal?

4. Should the News Corporation Board of Directors fire Rupert Murdoch?

5. Why is Roger Ailes covering up for Rupert Murdoch?

Ask Intern Jesse those questions, and the boy will run from you like a frighten child.

Watters’ account of what happened at the event sounded a bit fishy, particularly as there was missing footage to show what got him tossed out. He admitted that he immediately went after Van Jones with no success, and that when he was challenged as to what he was doing there, he tried throwing gotcha questions about Solyndra and Obama at the Greens until they threw him out.

But no footage was really shown of this. I’d be curious if the Greens have their own footage of Watters being obnoxious and annoying people to the point that the event organizers figured out he was there to disrupt and obstruct.

OTOH all of this was really just a childish affair. A more serious matter came before this segment, when O’Reilly interviewed Sara Carter as though she was a legitimate journalist about border issues, rather than a gossip monger about right wing talking points on the border. He never mentioned her championing the Ramos and Compean story, which has resulted in her credibility being ruined among anyone actually paying attention to the real issues happening on our borders.

O'Reilly said he wants to see the tape - and so do we!

“He said it, and I have proof- but I chose not to show it when I said it!” -Jesse.

“Ok, we’ll give you four and a half days to turn it over, and no question if it sounds off, or doesn’t match his lips!” -Bill.
