Before former President Obama and Michelle Obama’s fiery speeches, the folks over at Fox ‘News’ had a meltdown and dragged out one of their favorite hits to use against former President Obama: birtherism.
Jesse Watters made a quip questioning the veracity of Barack Obama’s birth certificate and also depicted him as “still the godfather of this machine”—a reference to the Democratic Party.
“He gave us Joe Biden as VP. He gave us Hillary as secretary of state. Then he couped Joe, put all his boys with Kamala’s team, and had his wingman Holder vet Walz,” Watters said, referring to Obama’s former attorney general, Eric Holder.
“He’s definitely going to interfere in this election,” he claimed, using the same parlance as Donald Trump to describe otherwise routine intra-party dealings.
He then claimed he would send his producer to Hawaii to find out if President Obama’s birth certificate was real.
“That’s why we’ll be sending Johnny to Hawaii to get the truth about the birth certificate,” Watters told viewers. “This time we will dig deep and find out what really happened.”
After Watters’ ignorant and fact free rant, his co-host Greg Gutfeld jumped in.
“Good point. You should tell Johnny that he needs to get a passport,” he said, another apparent joke that was met with sustained silence from the panel.
“To go to Kenya—I agree,” Watters replied, laughing.
“No,” Gutfeld clarified. “I meant to Hawaii, just to see him do it. Ask him what the exchange rate is for the Hawaiian dollar.”
The MAGAts on Fox ‘News’ are not the only ones having a meltdown.
