“I’m deputizing you guys to be little James O’Keefes," referring to the infamous Project Veritas founder who’s repeatedly slipped on banana peels in his efforts to “bust” his foes undercover.

Undercover, but the jerk was busted in his underwear the last time, wasn’t he? haha!

This sort of rhetoric ends with one of these sh–heads deciding to follow it through to the logical conclusion, and trying to harm an elderly man.

How small does one have to be, to be a “little” James O’Keefe?

Watters went on to coach the event attendees on how to corner Fauci with cameras if he visits their college campuses and “ambush” him with a rhetorical “kill shot.”

“Boom! He is dead! He is dead!” Watters declared.

And how, exactly, does this threat not constitute a federal crime?

It’s totally laughable that these idiots think they can stand up to anyone in a battle of words or wits, where facts are in question. These microKeefes can go gargle some bleach.

How come conservatives nearly all share a “sense of humor” that involves saying deplorable things and then saying it was a joke?

Such impressive “owning!”

Watters knows there are Cesar Sayocs out there who will take his imperative literally. It is incitement to violence, and he knew that when he said it.

Now seems to be the time to press Fox, which seems to be on its heels. If a supply chain failure should hit whoever supplies the daily quart of infant blood that Rupert imbibes to stay alive, we might really get somewhere!

What kind of country are we when, under the guise of free speech, a person like this is allowed to issue threats to a public servant? I just don’t know anymore.

You know, most cameras don’t go “boom”.

Certain exceptions apply.
