In a recent development, Fox News has reportedly withdrawn a scheduled interview with Republican Representative Dan Crenshaw of Texas, following a heated exchange between him and the network's primetime host, Jesse Watters.
The dispute arose after Watters accused Crenshaw of corruption related to his stock earnings, leading to a series of retaliatory remarks from the congressman on his Instagram story.
In response to Watters' allegations, Crenshaw referred to the host as "a fucking clown" and a "fucking hack." Following this, Crenshaw revealed on his Instagram story that Fox News had canceled his upcoming interview, suggesting that his comments had offended the network. "LMFAO, Fox just cancelled an interview we had pre-scheduled tonight," Crenshaw wrote. "Guess I hurt their feelings by calling out their bullshit."
Crenshaw's Instagram story further contained a direct challenge to Watters. "Hey you fucking hack, if you're gonna accuse me of literal corruption, get your facts straight and man up and come accuse me to my face," he wrote. He also criticized Watters for allegedly exploiting his platform for personal gain and spreading conspiracy theories. "Watters is a tool, making millions to push conspiracies on tv, and bash veterans like me who are barely a fraction of his net worth. Wake up America. The political entertainment industry is almost always lying to you."
Crenshaw also took aim at Watters' personal life, accusing him of infidelity and abandoning his family. "Yeah hes such a conservative he cheated on his wife and then left her with twins while he went off with another Fox producer," Crenshaw stated. He added a personal jab, saying, "And lets be honest, Jesse Watters seems like the type of dude who pees sitting down."
In response to the corruption allegations, a spokesperson for Crenshaw told the Daily Caller that "all of these transactions were under $2,000" and that the "investments were made when the market dipped, which is exactly what countless other Americans do when they invest in the stock market."
