In the hearts and minds of his viewers, Tucker Carlson is irreplaceable. His brand of white nationalist agitprop was its own blood pressure-raising secret sauce, and like the high sodium goop on those TV dinners that built his trust fund, it was easy for Fox News' faithful to slurp down night after night. But the network intends to try by sliding another of its oleaginous dollops, Jesse Watters, into the 8 p.m. time slot once filled by "Tucker Carlson Tonight." This is part of an overall rearrangement bumping Laura Ingraham...

Jesse Watters won the battle of the Fox News shakeup that followed Tucker Carlson’s unceremonious ouster. Watters will anchor the coveted 8 p.m. time slot, u nfortunately for us, democracy, my sanity, etc. H ere’s a small collection of some of the most batshit stuff Watters has been allowed to say on air. Back in 2016, when Bill O’Reilly was still allowed on television, Watters was but a lowly correspondent on O’Reilly Factor.
