Fox News must apologize to its viewers, a White House spokesperson said, after the rightwing channel’s host Jesse Watters seemed to advocate violence against Arab Americans, amid heightened tensions over the Israel and Hamas war in Gaza. On Wednesday evening, on the highly rated Fox show The Five, Watters said: “If you’re an Arab American in this country, and you rip down posters of Jewish hostages, American hostages, no. On Wednesday, Watters also said: “I want to say something about Arab Americans and about the Muslim world. “Fox News owes an apology to every single viewer for this sickening attack on the rights and dignity of their fellow Americans. Fox News should learn from his example.”Fox News did not immediately return a request for comment.
