Jesse Watters contemplates adopting 'woke' persona as Fox News host claims it's dangerous to protest as 'conservative'

Fox News host Jesse Watters contemplated adopting a 'woke' persona, asserting that protesting as a conservative in America was perilous

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News' Jesse Watters has revealed unconventional intentions to adopt a "woke" persona as a strategy for engaging in peaceful protests amid the current socio-political landscape in America.

In the United States, among numerous nations, substantial protests have taken place, with diverse groups expressing solidarity with the people of Gaza who endure the persistent threat of the ongoing conflict with Israel.

Large gatherings, numbering in the thousands, have occurred across the nation, demanding an immediate ceasefire in the region.

Watters, known for consistently opposing support for Palestinians, asserted that in America, only those with liberal viewpoints are allowed to protest without facing consequences.

Jesse Watters wants to turn 'woke' to protest

Watters mockingly expressed his wish to go woke or turn more left-leaning to be able to protest peacefully. 

"I might just convert to woke to be able to protest because if you are conservative and you go to a school board meeting and raise a ruckus cause some transgender kid raped your daughter in the bathroom and the school covered it up. Or maybe you're a Tea Party supporter who didn't like the Wall Street bailouts. Or perhaps you wanted to support election integrity or maybe you held a sign in Michigan State House that said 'We'd like to go back to work now, Governor!'"

He continued his rant saying, "If you do that, you get audited, you get arrested, you get smeared, you probably get put on the no-fly list. Maybe the Southern Poverty Law Center cancels your life." 

Jesse Watters claims 'woke' protestors are not getting arrested

He then went on to compare the results of protests by conservatives and liberals. 

"But you're saying if you're having a massive movement all over the country for a month, where you're desecrating monuments, vandalizing the White House. It's now deadly; they murdered a Jewish guy in Los Angeles."

Watters also went on to declare that it was not "right" or "fair", claiming that it was "dangerous" for conservative Americans to put out a public protest. 

"There's like no arrests," Watters said which is a rather false claim as there have been many arrests from among the rallies calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

So far, over 11,000 Palestinians have been killed after Israel opened an airstrike and followed it by a ground invasion in the area.
