Jesse Watters Brushes Off Mike Waltz’s ‘Wee’ Group Chat ‘Security Breach’ to Attack Hillary Clinton
Fox News host Jesse Watters brushed off the Trump administration’s Principles Committee Signal group gaffe that saw The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg added to a chat discussing plans to strike Houthi rebels in Yemen earlier this month.
Goldberg reported on Monday of how he learned about a planned bombing of Houthi rebels in Yemen over the weekend in advance after national security advisor Mike Waltz accidentally added his number to the chat, which included Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
While Fox News anchor John Roberts called the mistake a “BFD,” his colleague, Watters, downplayed the problem in a one-minute report as, admittedly, a “wee bit of a security breach” but one that hardly compares to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email server controversy or federal agents finding classified documents at former President Joe Biden’s Delaware home.

On Monday night’s Jesse Watters Primetime, the host likened Waltz’s mistake to adding your “Aunt Mary” to a “bachelor party” group chat revealing your “raunchy plans” — and sniped at Goldberg as a “hoax artist.”
Did you ever try to start a group text? You’re adding people and you accidentally add the wrong person? All of a sudden your Aunt Mary knows all your raunchy plans for the bachelor party? Well, that kind of happened today with the Trump administration. Mike Waltz was putting together a group chat on signal, an encrypted app with the secretary of defense, the VP, and a bunch of other national security officials to collaborate on whether to strike Iranian proxies in Yemen, who keep firing missiles and shutting down shipping.
Well, national security advisor Mike Waltz accidentally added a reporter to the group text and not a good reporter. Jeffrey Goldberg from The Atlantic, one of the biggest hoax artists around. Well, he heard some things he probably shouldn’t have, but could have been a wee bit of a security breach.
But it’s not like they home brewed a server and then bleached it, or kept classified documents in their garages next to their corvette. I’m sure it won’t happen again.
