Jesse Watters Roasted After His Mom Gives Iconic Excuse For Not Inviting Him To Thanksgiving

The Fox News host revealed that he wasn't invited to his mom's house for Thanksgiving this year—and her reasoning has the internet cheering.

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he revealed he wasn't invited to his mother's house for Thanksgiving this year.

His mother, Democratic voter Anne Watters, has a history of calling out her son's support for President-elect Donald Trump. Now, after airing footage of liberals not inviting their Trump-supporting friends and family members over for the holiday, Watters said his mother told him there was a "scheduling situation" and that he would not be included this year.


He said:

“People are taking some space in the Watters household. I’ll have you know that I was not invited to my mother’s house for Thanksgiving. Apparently, there wasn’t enough room. She said it was a scheduling situation and then, at the last second, invited me to come over on Black Friday. I told her no thanks, ‘I’ll be at Best Buy.’”

You can hear what he said in the video below.

The mockery was swift.


Last year, Anne Watters called in after her son took over the 8 p.m. slot from the fired Tucker Carlson, advising him to "not tumble into any conspiracy rabbit holes," referencing the lies about the integrity of the 2020 election that Carlson spread and that ultimately cost him his job amid Fox News' legal battle with Dominion Voting Systems.

She added:

"We do not want to lose you, and we want no lawsuits. In keeping with the Hippocratic oath, do no harm. We need you to be kind and respectful. Seek solution versus fanning the flames."

She also took aim at Trump:

“You could encourage that Bedminster friend of yours to return to his earlier career on television. Everyone in his audience could wear a red hat, and I’m sure the ratings would soar, although never as high, my darling, as yours, on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime.’”

Watters said earlier this year that his mother was thrilled when Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts following his hush money trial, saying "She texted me that she was dancing after the verdict."

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
