"Fox News' Jesse Watters Sparks Controversy with Anti-Arab-American Remarks"

Fox News host Jesse Watters sparked outrage with an Islamophobic rant on "The Five," claiming that he's "had it" with Arab Americans and Muslims. Watters criticized The New York Times for framing the removal of posters depicting hostages taken by Hamas as a form of protest, and went on to argue that the West has created the Middle East and funded their military. He seemed to advocate for violence, stating that someone would get punched in the face if they ripped down posters of Jewish and American hostages. Watters and his co-hosts also discussed the commodification of suffering and the idea that certain groups are given a "free punch" in society.
