Fox News’ Jesse Watters slammed liberals for pushing the narrative that Jordan Neely was a victim during Friday’s edition of “Jesse Watters Primetime.”

Watters claimed that the political left has ignored the details of Neely’s death despite having taken to the streets to protest. The Fox News host then played footage showing Neely’s supporters marching through the streets, chanting, “We’re gonna burn it all down” and blowing what appeared to be cigarette smoke in an officer’s face.

“The left’s already made up their minds, Jordan Neely was murdered,” Watters said. “Forget that Neely was a career criminal who was threatening subway passengers. Liberals like AOC, they don’t care about the details. Instead, protesters hit the streets in New York last night, threatening to burn it all down.”

Watters claimed that Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams was the only elected official handling the Neely fallout with “any kind of grace or maturity.”

The Fox News host claimed that Neely “didn’t need to die” and that left-wing politicians enable tragedies like Neely’s to happen by not institutionalizing mentally ill homeless people. Watters stated that the “broken system” is to blame for Neely’s death.

“One time he attacked a 67-year-old grandma, broke her eye socket and nose, tried to kidnap a seven-year-old kid,” Watters said of Neely.

Watters stated that the political left doesn’t want citizens to defend themselves against a “lunatic.”

“You can’t have the mentally ill criminal attacking you feel bad, right?” Watters asked.

Watters lamented that some on the political left seem to have accepted that civilians should tolerate being assaulted by people on public transit, just because they are mentally unstable.

“This is where we are now? We have to accept that when we ride public transportation, we’re just going to get punched in the face?” Watters asked. “And it’s ok because they’re mentally ill?”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
