Jesse Watters’ Outrage Over Term He Just Decried Backfires Spectacularly

The Fox News host recently argued former FBI Director James Comey was "trying to put out a hit" on the president by posting "86 47" on social media.

Fox News anchor Jesse Watters was furious last month over James Comey posting “86 47” on social media, claiming the former FBI director “obviously was trying to put out a hit” on President Donald Trump — but is now using the same term on his show.

The conservative “Primetime” host wielded the term both Tuesday and Wednesday to celebrate former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran and Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg getting ousted and leaving their posts, respectively.

“ABC just 86’d Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a hateful bigot,” Watters said Tuesday about the former correspondent, who was let go after criticizing the White House deputy chief of staff on social media. “This was probably the easiest thing ABC ever had to do.”

Watters used the same term for Hogg, who announced Wednesday on social media that he won’t be running for reelection due to “a crisis of competence and complacency” in the Democratic Party.

“So this guy got 86’d because he’s white, he’s a guy and allegedly he’s straight,” Watters said Wednesday. “I don’t want to impose that on him. The Democrats say they learned a lesson last election, but you look at this and it doesn’t look like they learned anything.”
