The UN is headquartered in New York. This guy therefore is directly calling for terrorist acts to be committed on US soil. That's slammer-worthy.
Who's doing the political violence again?

For anyone curious. This is terrorism. Specifically "Stochastic Terrorism"
Textbook example. Because there's a real solid chance some fucking lunatic decides to act on his careless words.
But Jimmy Kimmel's remarks were too inflammatory for him to stay on the air.
WATTERS: And then they sabotaged the teleprompter. I mean, this is an insurrection.
Broken escalator + teleprompter fail = insurrection.
Everything is an insurrection with these idiots.
Except the actual insurrection they did
That's the goal when they call everything else an insurrection. Water it down when they do it.
Any time they get accused of something, you can bet they’ll start calling others it shortly after.
Every time they accuse others of something unprompted, you can bet they have already done it .
I think my brain seized up when a fan of both fElon and Taco declared a vote against Taco was a vote for the oligarchy.
It's clear they heard Bernie out there campaigning against the oligarchy, had some vague notion that it was not a flattering word, and decided to apply it to Biden and Kamala.
I mean. What. The. Actual. Fuck.
The dumbest thing was Trump trying to call others out on Mortgage fraud.
Except actual insurrection. They want to water down the word in people's minds so the terrorist attack of Trump supporters trying to kill the people certifying the 2020 election and Donald's subsequent pardoning of all those terrorists and firing of anyone who dared participate in the investigation against them doesn't seem so bad.
They just repeat words they've heard smarter people use. He has no clue what he just said.
I was thinking of Everything_I_Dont_Like_is_woke.jpg. Has same basic energy.
Starbucks barista got your order wrong? It's probably because they are woke and they are carrying out an INSURRECTION on you!!!
Big I am just as dumb as someone from the fictional movie anchorman vibes
And yet despite making a specific direct call to violence yet another Fox host will not be held accountable.
Yeah, and my favorite part is that the UN said the White House was responsible for the prompter. So they likely just forgot a flash drive or something dumb
So not only does the host not know what an insurrection is, nor what the UN is apparently, they clearly don't care at all about anything but spreading hate
They're intentionally misusing 'insurrection' to try to make it seem like NOBODY knows what it is, so that January 6th seems like a hoax or Democratic hot air.
Indeed. These assholes have been doing that ever since J6, really. Everything and anything was an "insurrection". They'd go apeshit when the media would use that term, even though insurrection is rather neutral, when it's probably more accurately called terrorism.
One regular commenter on DP would often just post "INSPLURECTION!" as a response since they basically lost their minds that people even in the corporate media were pointing the finger at their movement. They were even touchy about calling them "rioters" - they wanted them to be called "peaceful protesters" who were just "airing their grievances", LOL. I have a feeling some of the people that were especially upset about it might have been there and weren't caught (yet).
I think he just wanted a reason to ramble for an hour so he made up the "teleprompter is broken" story replete with threats.
"I hope they get to the bottom of it, and I hope they really injure, emotionally, the people that did it."
Cool. Perhaps someone could bomb, emotionally, Jesse Watters? Like a really emotional F-bomb, I mean.
By the way, the intended purpose of this isn't to comment on the UN or whatever. The purpose is to openly flaunt the fact that the rules don't apply to them whatsoever. With this and the "kill the homeless" comment, they want to rub it in the faces of leftists and liberals. If those groups say anything even slightly controversial about Charlie Kirk, it's disgusting and vile and they demand severe consequences. But Confederates can say whatever, because they have the power and they want everyone to know it and feel it.
FOX is definitely going to suspend him, right?
I await with bated breath the FCC statement saying this can be resolved the easy way or hard way.
Again, why is it ok for rightwing people to openly call for violence using their public platforms?
Other groups can not and do not do this in US politics, why are rightwing people the only ones allowed to do this?
I don't think anybody should speak this callously and invoke specific targeted violence with such carelessness, just because Jesse Watters doesn't understand or care about the consequences of his words spoken on a large public platform doesn't mean he isn't increasing the likelihood of actual violent acts by saying what he does.
edit I mean really, it would be one thing to sit around a firepit with your drinking buddies and throw something this disgusting out of your mouth and laugh about it, which I still find disgusting and lame, but we are talking about saying these words as a prominent public figure which makes it that much more a damning commitment to bigotry.
Because they're fascists and fascists currently control our government.
The proper response is to arm yourself and help everyone you know arm themselves.
It's not that anyone is "allowed" we all are. We can say basically anything we want in this country. Conservatives are just a bunch of crybaby sheep bitches that can't handle reality.
UN headquarters needs to be in Geneva or something, not in one of the 5 nuclear powers. Seriously wtf, this looked biased AF. Like how would the average American feel if UN was located in Moscow or Shanghai?
Somewhere in Switzerland would be a better place for the UN headquarters.
P.S.: That Watters guy is calling for terrorist attacks in New York, what a violent traitor.
It's complicated. As modern as the building looks today, the UN's construction and planning began before the nuclear arms race.
Well when the UN was founded it was right after a war on European soil. Guess other nations didn’t trust the Europeans after two world wars. Also at the time Europe was the US’s bitch so they didn’t have much influence.
And New York had probably the best infrastructure at the time to safely receive and transport diplomats to the HQ. Because the rest of the world was either still in rubble or didn’t have modern infrastructure.
Republicans: We're not Nazis, the Nazis were actually left-wing.
Also Republicans:
I get that at work a lot with men in their 20s.
I don't hesitate at all to correct their ignorance.
One guy argued that the whole political spectrum was left. I said: "Where does conservatism fit in"? He said that conservatives don't follow this spectrum and that is why they are not in it.
They are fed lies early, by god knows who, and they regurgitate them as talking points.
When challenged, their ideas usually change but some are not as intelligent and are harder to break through to.
Fuck fascism, it's destroying young minds.
Jesse Watters is a fascist and a terrorist, his fuhrer's own people fucked up the teleprompter and he's calling for mass murder of allies and civilians over it.
So much violent rhetoric from the right. And yet the right and their "centrist" boosters keep saying it's the left that is so hateful and violent.
This is not the sweet onion of satire. This is the strong garlic of reality.
Hey... I happen to like garlic. This is more like the stinky smell of durian fruit
The UN doesn't control the teleprompter. Trump's team controlled the teleprompter. If someone else had access to it, they could fuck with the speeches and change words and shit. Under normal circumstances, the speech given by the president to the UN would need to be very carefully worded to avoid international incidents. Trump is a walking international catastrophe, so that's a silly accusation regardless.
Fucker doesn't know what insurrection means.
