For a recent segment of “Watters World” on “The O’Reilly Factor,” Fox News anchor Jesse Watters traveled to arguably the most liberal state in the American world: Vermont.
Watters grilled residents on Vermont’s liberalness, the immigration crisis at the U.S. southern border and the war on terror, and the responses he received are so out of touch that they even make Hillary Clinton look in touch with regular Americans.
Particularly, the Fox News host asked one young man why Vermont is such a left-leaning state, upon which he heard … silence. The man then admitted that he doesn’t know what “liberal” means.
When turning his attention to the border crisis, Watters asked one woman why Obama hasn’t “done anything to stop it.”
“I don’t think there’s really any harm in what’s happening,” she replied nonchalantly.
“Do you mind if I send my kids to your house and they can camp out in your front yard?” Watters followed up. Again, more silence.
One longhaired fellow said of the immigrants coming from South America, “Us young people have relatives that come from that state.”
“Is Mexico a state?” Watters inquired.
“I consider it [one] because I’ve been to Mexico,” the man answered.
Another young man, memorably clad in sunglasses, rejected the idea of a southern border all together because “it shuts out fresh ideas.”
At the end of the segment, the “O’Reilly Factor” correspondent focused more on the current crisis in Iraq caused by ISIS militants.
“How would you fight the war on terror?” Watters asked a young woman.
“Let’s be friends,” she stated confidently. “Let’s work together.”
“You want to be friends with al-Qaeda?” said Watters.
“I want the entire world to know that we’re all connected,” she replied.
The sunglass man afraid to stifle “fresh ideas” also weighed in on the war on terror and specifically reflected on 9/11, offering up a little conspiracy theory of his own (and likely no one else’s) making.
“I don’t think [9/11] was the Middle East,” he speculated. “I feel like it was either some other foreign country or our own country.”
“Osama bin Laden claimed credit for 9/11,” Watters followed up. “You don’t believe him?”
“People can be paid to say just about anything,” the man explained.
“Did someone pay you to say this?” asked Watters.
“No, I don’t believe in money,” his interviewee added. An individual who doesn’t believe in money and thinks America caused 9/11 — liberal, or loony?
