“Well it’s funny, he was saying fat little rocket man, he was criticized by the media, and now he’s calling him a strong savvy negotiator and he’s being criticized by the media,” said Watters during “The Five” on Friday. “So it doesn’t matter what he says he’s always going to be criticized by the media. So, just tune them out.”

“If Obama had gotten this far with North Korea they would have already been carving his face into mount Rushmore,” continued the Fox News host. “Think about what they’ve done so far.

We have not dropped the sanctions, we still have 30,000 troops here. We suspended one single military exercise in order to give the guy a little latitude domestically with some breathing room and a sign of goodwill. That’s it, all the other past administrations have done whatever they have done and the guys nuked up. Let’s try something new. It can’t be worse than what’s been done before.” (RELATED: Jesse Watters Rips Former ‘Nice Kid’ Turned ‘Bomb Thrower’ David Hogg)

“Who else was able to accomplish that?” asked Guilfoyle. “Those that are crying and complaining from high towers — what were they able to get done?” (RELATED: CNN’s Jim Acosta Responds To Jesse Watters In The Most Jim Acosta Way Possible)
