Fox’s Jon Scott was not the only Fox News personality to make hideous comments over Easter weekend. Fox host Jesse Watters and contributor Herman Cain shared a couple of jokes about killing Mexicans who try to climb over Donald Trump’s border wall.
As a discussion about Donald Trump's proposed border wall wrapped up, Watters and Caine fantasized about death to Mexicans:
WATTERS: Well, Mr. Cain, I think maybe if you pony up some dough, you get a special section of that Trump wall that’s electrified and we can start zapping things as they try to cross.
CAIN: Jesse, I just want the sign to be put up on the other side: “We will kill you if you cross this wall.”
They both chuckled heartily.
“I think that will send a very clear message,” Watters said, approvingly.

Keep in mind that Watters and Fox News were the ones banging the drum 10 years ago about their heroes Ramos & Compean. For those that don’t remember them, they were two Border Patrolmen who were imprisoned for trying to kill a fleeing suspect by shooting him in the back. (They actually hit him in the rear end) After this “story” was broken by Sara Carter (read: the same Sara Carter currently trying to foment conspiracy theories about Susan Rice), the Right went on full alert to play the duo as unjustly convicted martyrs. Of course, they also ignored all the inconvenient facts in the situation, such as that the duo tried to cover up their bad shoot until they were arrested for it several weeks later.
I bring up the Ramos & Compean story because it points out what the Right would prefer to see happening at the border. The whole idea was that they wanted those guys to get away with the shooting – it would send the message that it’s not fun at the border and maybe you don’t want to come this way anyway, you know? Think of Little Bill’s “message” in Unforgiven, as delivered through a vicious beating.
I honestly don’t know which is more unsettling – that Watters thinks this is appropriate behavior, or that he thinks it’s funny. The Year of the Bully continues apace.
