‘Don’t Remind Me’: Jesse Watters Gets His Erroneous Election Prediction Thrown in His Face

Fox News’ Jesse Watters got a stark reminder about his “red wave” prediction of 2022, in light of the GOP trouncing that took place across the country Tuesday.

On Wednesday’s The Five, Jessica Tarlov summed up the Republican losses.

“The main headline is ‘Democrats continue to overperform in the Biden era,'” she said. “You can’t dispute it. It’s blowing the polling out of the water. Republicans haven’t really had a good showing since Trump won in 2016, and they really — and I know there are a lot of them, deeply conservative people, that are coming around to the idea that Donald Trump loses himself elections, and he loses the people that he endorses elections, period.”

“Well, they took the House in 2000, right?” Watters countered.

After some conferring, Tarlov continued, “No, it was 2022. That was your ‘red wave,’ when you said, ‘I’m getting a 40-seat wave,’ and then you got three seats and a George Santos.”

“Oh, don’t remind me,” a pained Watters replied.

Tarlov then explained why the pro-abortion rights issue passed in so many states:

Roe was originally about privacy, it was a privacy decision, it wasn’t about abortion. It was nowhere listed, which is why Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself said that she didn’t think it will hold up forever because it’s not about abortion. That’s how they managed to get, It was a 7-2 ruling, with conservatives siding with the liberals. Because the point is, is that a decision to carry a pregnancy to term or not is between you and your doctor.

And that’s what they ran on in Ohio, and talked about constantly. That’s how they got Kansas. That is how they got Kentucky, Michigan, etc.  And the G.O.P. Will not get out of their own way on this. They have found no avenue to talk about this like civilized people. Fifty-eight percent think the G.O.P. Is too extreme on this, and then you have new speaker Mike Johnson sitting up there. He has no less than three bills that would make us have a national abortion ban.

Tarlov continued, “Bans turn people off. You cannot talk about abortion that way.”
