Tuesday during a segment of his prime time hour, Fox News anchor Jesse Watters made an allegation that lawmakers in Washington, including Rep. Dan Crenshaw, may be involved in insider trading.
Republicans and Democrats were among the targets, and one Republican was dismayed to be included on this list.
The segment from Jesse Watters Primetime touched upon Crenshaw, mentioning him by name and including him on the chart, although he does not receive the primary attention in the segment.
Although Crenshaw refrained from contesting the figures referenced by Watters, he did affirm possessing “$10,000 invested in stocks” but claimed an absence of trading activity spanning “over a year.”
Crenshaw then attacked Watters directly regarding the allegations.
“Hey you fucking hack, if you’re gonna accuse me of literal corruption, get your facts straight and man up and come accuse me to my face. You’re a fucking clown desperate for clickbait. …” Crenshaw wrote.
“Watters is a tool, making millions to push conspiracies on tv and bash veterans like me who are barely a fraction of his net worth. Wake up America. The political entertainment industry is almost always lying to you.” he continued.
“I’m sitting here trying to feed my 3 month old and this dirt bag millionaire at Fox is accusing me of being a criminal with zero evidence. Stop watching these mediocre entertainers. Stop letting wealthy elitists like [Jesse] Watters claim to be “fighting for you.” They live in Manhattan and can’t stand normal people who live in red states. They think you’re stupid and feed you bullshit to rile you up.” Crenshaw added.
“Losers like Watters grew up with a silver spoon. His family is made up of well connected journalists and politicians. And for some reason, people are fooled into believing he’s some genuine blue collar conservative. Yeah, he’s such a “conservative” he cheated on his wife and then left her with twins while he went off with another Fox producer.” Crenshaw said.
“And let’s be honest, Jesse Watters seems like the type of dude who pees sitting down.” he concluded.
