Jesse Watters Praises Investigation into Democratic Senator: 'You Have To Make Examples Out of People' [View all]

Fox News host Jesse Watters praised the Department of Defense investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) on Monday, declaring, “You have to make examples out of people.”

Reacting on The Five to the Trump administration’s investigation into Kelly, which could result in the senator being recalled to active duty and court-martialed over his appearance in a video urging members of the military not to follow orders, Watters said, “I’m glad that the U.S. military is now investigating this guy Kelly because this is what we expect from Donald Trump 2.0.” He continued, “You can’t have the deep state interfering with a duly elected presidency and get away with it. You gotta draw the line in the sand and you have to make examples out of people.”

Fox News’ Kennedy weighed in, “I think that Senator Kelly might have violated the FAFO [Fuck Around, Find Out] doctrine and he’s gonna find out the hard way that there, unfortunately, are consequences.” She added, “You know, these people aren’t civilians. They’ve sworn an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, and they know what that means. They know what that means better than we civilians do, but they make a video like this trying to make a plea to people in the armed forces, and what they’re really trying to do is imply that things that you might disagree with are also illegal.”

Kennedy confessed, “And there may be things about bombing boats in the Caribbean that I have an issue with. I may have an issue with that morally and philosophically, but I have not sworn an oath to the Constitution, so I’m not on the same ground that the warriors and the people in harm’s way are. They know what they’re getting into, but what these people are trying to do, they’re trying to confuse them, and everyone I’ve spoken to in the military who is serving or who has served, they are so disgusted by this whole thing.”
