Fox's Jesse Watters proves once again that he's not only a condescending jerk, but also a shameless liar with this latest defense of Trump. Fox has been pushing the "victimless crime" nonsense about the New York civil fraud case for ages now. This is the first time I've heard anyone on Fox try to claim that all of the cases against Trump are "victimless."
During a discussion on Fox's The Five on whether Trump will ultimately gain or lose in popularity with the general electorate, and most of the cohosts on there painting all of this as just some grand scheme to keep Trump from making his way back to the White House, cohost Jessica Tarlov pointed out that it might help him with primary voters, but warned Trump that he might want to be careful about bragging about it supposedly making him more popular, since most people "don't want to vote for a convicted felon," and that he still has "a lot of cases pending" against him.
After her cohost Greg Gutfeld tried to claim that's the entire reason for anyone prosecuting him, and called it a "circular argument," Tarlov shot back "But that's making it out as if the man didn't do anything wrong, and the average real estate investor isn't inflating the worth of their real estate."
Which was met with this snide response from Watters, telling her she doesn't know anything about real estate because she rents, before bragging about how many properties Trump owns that they could look at from their studio.
