Apologizing is one thing. When will he have to show up in court for this?

Apologised in private for calling for the bombing or gassing of the UN in public on a show watched by millions of nutters.
Watters is a coward, a Tucker Carlson-wannabe, a loser, a creep towards women (slashing his current wife's tires and then offering a ride to her home before they were together).
He's stupid, he's malicious, and he's loud.
Actually, on reflection, he's perfect for the USA.
Let me get this straight as this has been a busy week for the FCC (Fascists Controlling Cable).
-
Advocate for mandatory lethal injection for the homeless. - Keep your show.
-
Advocate for bombing a global peacekeeping body located in an American city. - Keep your show.
-
Show a clip of POTUS having as much remorse for Charlie Kirk as a kid whose imaginary friend died. - Get cancelled.
Jesse Watters had privately apologized to U.N. global communications chief Melissa Fleming
Fuck off. You say that shit in public, you apologise in public. Better yet, he should have been sacked. There is no accountability on the right.
Sacked? Jailed for terrorism.
He's from Fox. They can do illegal stuff as long as it toes the party line. And UN bad fits the bill. One wrong word about CK though and the MAGAs act like rabid fleas.
As long as he's white and mr President likes him, he won't be jailed for anything.
He apologized after he publicly called for a terrorist attack on the diplomatic representatives of - checks notes - the entire fucking world when his own nation was hosting them? Oh, good. I guess that's all fine then. /s
Terrorists just need to say they're sowee and everything's okay?
I wonder how 2001 Fox News would feel about today's Fox News advocating for terrorism and watching as nothing happens
Rupert could only dream and salivate at the thought of this being acceptable, as well as the other P2025 hounds of hell.
okay finally an article whose text is just as oniony
The United Nations was shocked, U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said on Friday, when a Fox News host called for the world body to be bombed over U.S. President Donald Trump's difficulties with an escalator and a teleprompter.
Watters made the remarks while discussing Trump's address to world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday. Trump complained about an elevator that had stopped shortly after he stepped onto it and a teleprompter that did not work.
"What we need to do is either leave the U.N. or we need to bomb it," Watters said. "Maybe gas it ... we need to destroy it."
The United Nations has said the escalator abruptly stopped after Trump and first lady Melania Trump stepped on to it likely because a White House videographer accidentally triggered a safety mechanism. Trump also experienced issues with the teleprompter, but a U.N. official said it was being operated by the White House.
It’s really time for the UN to move to Europe or China, a new venue will take time to build, and a longer transition will be better.
Imagine building it in the Hague.
building it in China would not be better than what we have in the US
Words lead to actions?!
