Summary
Fox News host Jesse Watters, a vocal supporter of Trump and Elon Musk’s cuts, expressed frustration after his sister’s job at Johns Hopkins University was affected.
The university is laying off over 2,000 employees due to cuts in federally funded research, particularly from USAID, which Trump and Musk have sought to eliminate.
Watters previously defended DOGE but has softened his stance after seeing personal consequences, including a veteran friend losing a Pentagon job.
Critics argue DOGE disproportionately harms education and research institutions.

I can't tell if he's upset about his sister's job or that his mom is going to be bothering the whole family about it.

Haven't verified it for myself so grain of salt:
But apparently watters's family are pretty openly liberal and his mother regularly, publicly, criticizes him for the hatemonger he is.
So it is 500% him annoyed that his family is going to yell at him

He's such a sociopath. The whole thing about him admitting he tricked his
assistantproducer into dating him by deflating her tires is another example of that.Quill7513@slrpnk.net · 9 pts · 1y
that's horrifying

Yet she's somehow still married to him.

Stop trying to get me to date a conservative woman, you need a "mental" in there. And possibly to delete gymnast.

He also somehow manages to embody every shitty thing about fratbros. Dude looks like he walked right out of one of some 80s college comedy.

If memory serves, at one point his mom called into his show to basically chew him out on-air, live.
Yep, here's a clip of it:

I love how it only is a problem when it affects someone he knows. That's SUCH a conservative cliche.

He's not upset about anything because he's not capable of feeling those emotions.
Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 1y
That's because you're giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Ms. DiGiovine, how do you feel now that you've learned your whole married was born on a lie intentionally meant to make you feel unsafe so your now husband would be an attractive option to you in that moment?

I wish, but the article says he still supports it and wants more cuts. He only doesn't like that his family is going to argue with him.

I try to take to heart that somebody is always learning about something basic for the first time and that that's okay BUT where the hell have you been the last couple of months that you haven't heard of DOGE the agency?!?!

And by efficiency, they mean efficiently padding Elon’s pockets and stealing data.
