In his tweet about Sanders, Watters wrote, “America’s favorite socialist promised to redistribute the wealth and he’s made good on his promise. Bernie’s taking the wealth and redistributing it to his family.”

Watters also shared a clip from his coveted 8 pm slot where he said, “America’s favorite socialist, Bernie Sanders, made a name for himself by promising to redistribute the wealth. Turns out, he has made good on that promise. He’s taking the wealth from his campaign donors and redistributing it to his family.”

“According to a report from Fox Digital, Bernie quietly funneled $200,000 from the campaign fund to the Sanders Institute,” Watters continued, adding, “Well, what’s the Sanders Institute? It’s a good question. According to Bernie, it doesn’t exist.”

In this segment on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime’, Watters also claimed that if anyone donates to “Bernie Sanders for President” they are actually giving that money to his wife and children. As Watters detailed his findings about Sanders, the internet did not respond too well to it.
