Fox News host Jesse Watters called on conservatives to "avenge" conservative activist Charlie Kirk on an episode of "The Five."
The Turning Point USA founder was assassinated during an event on a Utah college campus on Wednesday. Video from the scene showed that Kirk was debating the prevalence of transgender mass shooters immediately before he was shot. Watters painted a picture of rampant left-wing political violence, telling his audience that the American left was "at war" with conservatives.
"We're sick, we're sad, we're angry, and we're resolute, and we're going to avenge Charlie's death in the way Charlie would want it to be avenged," he said. "Whether we want to accept it or not, they are at war with us! And what are we gonna do about it? How much political violence are we going to tolerate?"

Watters said that Kirk would have wanted conservatives to "put as much pressure on these people as possible," calling the opposition "rats."
"This is unacceptable and has to stop, and it has to stop now. And everybody's accountable," he said. "This is a turning point, and we know which direction we're going."
Watters heated rhetoric was a notable departure from the barrage of condolences and grief shared by other right-wing commentators. Megyn Kelly and Glenn Beck were visibly shaken by the news of Kirk's death during Wednesday's episode of "The Megyn Kelly Show." Watters' fellow Fox News host Will Cain was audibly upset when he announced the news of Kirk's passing on the network.
"I don't really know where you go from here," Cain said, sniffling. "I don't know what's left for us as a country to discuss when even a discussion and a debate over the issues results in violence that leads to the death of a good man."

maga pundits will probably be extremely sensitive to loud noises for a much longer period of time ...
Watters is a provocateur and likes to incite emotions. That is, he likes to take a situation, mischaracterize it while keeping some truth and then get people worked up emotionally. His arguments are superficial because of that. I think his target audience are those who are easily manipulated by emotion.
Not someone to listen to.
no worries, I don't take anyone that supports a criminal/traitor/pedophile seriously.
According to Google AI
Somebody had better tell them....
Along with those who listen to Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid and the like.
But what about those of us who are not easily manupulated by emotion?
I'm wondering how many of us will be "accidentally" shot . . . unintentional victims of the increased violence because of these inflammatory remarks?
since I'm an old white guy, I share your concern. I'll definitely be avoiding any gatherings of 3 or more maga ... /s
It may sound overly paranoid at first-- but the danger is unfortunately all too real.
I'm not sure I understand. Because of Watter's remarks you might accidentally get shot? How would that accidently come about?
you're preaching to the choir. I've been traveling strapped since trump took office, and back at the pistol range at least once a week. the next civil war will be uniquely american ...
Meidas Touch compiled a long list of far right and MAGA tweets since the shooting calling for "war" against the left.
their cult leader keeps them amped up to look for any excuse ...
We have let the country devolve into this and it is all based on conservatives not making Trump accountable. We have now lived through 15 years of trump being out of control and it is only getting worse.
the tighter christo-fascist hypocrites squeeze, the more their perceived enemies will slip thru their fingers. somehow waging war against their idea of non-believers, by those that meet one day a week in the same places, seems a bit ill-advised ...
for some reason in the quest to regain their concept of traditional american values, maga conservatives have forgotten the primary one, which unfortunately is blowing away oppressors when the gov't fails to respond to a legitimate redress of grievances ...
Might have something to do with the Bell Curve and conservatives having sub 80 IQs. Then there are Fox News lies that gave fools a voice. Lastly, conservatives lack education. The loudest tend to have the least. Trump had to pay others to do his homework and take his tests.
all of the now pardoned 1/6/21 insurrectionists that attempted to obstruct a constitutionally mandated act of a joint session of congress were also all trump supporters ...
but it's the Democrats waging war on the conservatives/s
Hey....wait a minute! I thought Democrats were too cowardly to go to war?
we hate guns, we don't own them or know how to shoot them. it'll be a bloodless coup for the new magamerica .... /s
They know some of us know how to use them
Believe it or not-- there are many on the Left who own guns. (just as there are many that are political "Centrists".)
apparently you missed the sarcasm tag ...
The country is too tuned into the various talking heads on both sides. Listen to and watch the news, read from verifiable sources, and make up your own mind. Programs like the ones that this dude runs are made to do one thing: Enrage their viewership so they will keep coming back, 'cause it's all about eyeballs and dollar signs.
I like watching Bucking Billy Ray Smith. He is from BC, nice gentle dude who knows a shit-ton about falling, climbing and other aspects to do with trees, power saws, axes. And he ends each session with "Work hard, Be Honest, Be Kind." That is something that a whole bunch of people should listen too.
I wish there was a way to "persuade" MAGA. Unfortunately we are light years from that.
You either push back or get run over.
Trump has been befouling the national culture for at least 15 years. That cannot be reversed through wishful thinking.
... there is, unfortunately it usually proves to be terminal.
Before MAGA was the tea party. Same low IQ hate filled fascists but with a different name. After Trump and MAGA the fascists will find a different name. Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.
some bad ass saws. I have a few Stihls'
my last saw was a stihl. I loved the smell of 2 cycle exhaust in the morning ...
I used to have quite an assortment of saws when lived in Missouri. Now all I have is an 029 that I bought in 1998.
This, in a country where January 6 happened, and their leader called it a day of love.
trump and maga have crossed the rubicon ...
