Fox News host dogpiled by own viewers after joking about Epstein crimes: 'Hit a new low'
Fox News viewers revolted against the network this weekend after hosts on its political talk show “The Five” erupted in laughter after joking about Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged crimes, and fiercely defended the Trump administration’s botched release of Epstein-related files.
“If you read the Epstein files, Epstein got his money from two Jewish billionaires – Les Wexner and Leon Black – and a little bit of money from the Jewish banking dynasty, the Rothschilds in Europe,” said Fox News’ Jesse Watters, who was among the five panelists.
“It looks like he's mostly just a fixer! A guy who advises, he helps people with their problems – sometimes those problems are 'you need a girl.’ If you need it, he's got it!”
Watters’ fellow panelist, political commentator and comedian Greg Gutfeld, appeared to have thought up on the spot a new title for Epstein.
“He's a sex rabbi!” Gutfeld exclaimed, sparking the room to erupt in laughter.
Video of the segment was uploaded by Fox News to its official YouTube channel, where viewers couldn’t contain their outrage over the failures of the Justice Department to prosecute any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, and at the cast of “The Five” for making light of the issue.
“Fox News has hit a new low,” wrote one YouTube user in the comment section of Fox News’ upload of the video.
“So FOX NEWS just [skips] over the fact that The Dear Leader's name [is] mentioned 1 [million] times in [the Epstein] files,” wrote another, making reference to a claim from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who said that Trump’s name appears more than 1 million times in the unredacted Epstein files.
“Holy hell, not you guys down playing it too,” wrote another.
