Fox News host ridiculed over New York City tirade: 'He’s historically illiterate'
Fox News host Jesse Watters was mocked for ranting and dropping unfounded claims about New York City during a live broadcast on Friday.The conservative host of "The Five" was responding to President Donald Trump's comments about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rent freeze, which was approved by the New York City Board, and remarks about what the president called "commies." "I just found out — New York City — half of the city is on Medicaid," Watters said. "Twenty percent of the city is on food stamps, five percent of the city lives in the projects, 70 percent of the city is not white, 40 percent of the city wasn't even born in America. We're going down a dangerous road."Social media users reacted to the Fox News personality's comments."He’s historically illiterate: 40% of NYC, a higher percentage than now, was foreign born in 1910 (!) This is not new," Zeteo’s Mehdi Hasan wrote on X."Jesse needs a history lesson. Here are the percentages of NYC foreign born residents going back to 1850 (Source: US Census). This is nothing new and it's not dangerous. What really bothers him is the "not white" part," Geoff Brown, political commentator and retired school district administrator, wrote on X."Jesse Watters 100% full of s---," Navy veteran Louella Hopkins wrote on X."That's how New York has always been you racist little t--- waffle," political commentator Rodger Williams wrote on X.He’s historically illiterate: 40% of NYC, a higher percentage than now, was foreign born in 1910 (!)This is not new. https://t.co/5IOpgr2dYp— Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) June 26, 2026

UK cop failures, Sikh killer's lies in Henry Nowak case are EVEN WORSE than previously disclosed
A knife-wielding Sikh named Vickrum Digwa fatally stabbed 18-year-old Englishman Henry Nowak in Portswood, England, on Dec. 3, 2025. Adding insult to injury, police officers from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary treated Nowak as a racist and a criminal in his final moments — handcuffing him as he lay bleeding and brushing off his repeated complaints about having been stabbed and being unable to breathe.The British public was confronted with some of the horrific details of the murder after Digwa's murder trial last month and after bodycam footage evidencing Nowak's mistreatment by police was released earlier this month. They erupted in protest, demanding the resignations and/or prosecution of the police involved and for the justice system to rectify its anti-white protocols.'I'm pushing on a f**king stab wound.'The scandal not only prompted condemnations from British lawmakers but a response by Vice President JD Vance, who stated that "the proper response — the only response — is righteous anger."Additional police bodycam footage from the night of Nowak's death and a full transcript of the encounter released by the Crown Prosecution Service and published by the BBC this week shed more light on the insidious nature of the Sikh's lies and police officers' mistreatment of the white victim.The footage shows Digwa setting the scene after police arrived with a torrent of lies, stating:He pushed my turban off my head. ... So I'm a Sikh, obviously, and he started grabbing on my hair, started dragging me around, and obviously from there, then obviously an altercation's happened. My brother's then seen it, stopped it, and that's when [Nowak] then started stumbling around, started climbing around all these sort of bits and bobs and stuff like that.Digwa falsely claims further in the footage that Nowak was "obviously drunk"; that Nowak had "just started escalating the situation" and called him a "Paki"; and that the blood on Nowak "must have been [from] when we punched him."After Digwa said that he had been "racially attacked," an officer says, "I know, I know, OK, I know," adding, "But we don't know what's gone on, mate."Never once does Digwa mention that he used his eight-inch Sikh blade to stab Nowak five times, including in the chest, face, and twice in the back of the legs.RELATED: Vance defends 'righteous anger' over white English teen's death in police custody after Sikh murderer falsely cried racism The footage also shows police arrest Digwa on suspicion of attempted murder — but treating him differently than they treated Nowak. Whereas police handcuffed the dying teen, the police never bothered binding the murderer's hands.Mark Nowak, the victim's father, said earlier this month that unlike his son, the Sikh murderer was curiously "afforded decency. He was believed. He was not handcuffed when arrested. He was not handcuffed when transported to the police station. As far as we understand, he was never handcuffed at all."Police confirmed to the BBC that Digwa was "never handcuffed" during his four days in custody prior to being formally charged for murder."The contrast is unbearable," added Mark Nowak.The BBC highlighted that the officer who spoke politely to Digwa and refrained from handcuffing him is the same individual later heard in bodycam footage saying, "Don't think you have, mate," after Nowak says that he has been stabbed.According to the BBC's review of the full transcript, it took police officers eight minutes to discover and locate the fatal stab wound in Nowak's chest after they arrived on the scene.Nowak told police he could not breathe nine times and said four times he had been stabbed, but the officers initially brushed off those complaints and began taking them seriously only after Nowak became unresponsive, at which point one officer states in the transcript, "I'm not sure he's breathing."After uncuffing the unconscious victim whom they had arrested, police started chest compressions.Around the five minute and 24 second mark, a female officer asks for a flashlight so she can properly inspect Nowak for a stab wound. Two minutes later, she finally gets around to cutting Nowak's clothing and states, "Yeah, he's got a stab ... there's a mark there."RELATED: Amnesty International frets about 'racial justice' again — just not for white people Georgios Kostomitsopoulos/NurPhoto/Getty ImagesOne officer states, "That makes it worse. He's got a stab. ... I'm pushing on a f**king stab wound."The female officer replies, "That's OK. It's fine. .... It's not coming out. It's fine. Keep going. Keep going. It's not bleeding out."The officers continued chest compressions until a paramedic arrived on the scene, where Nowak was pronounced dead at 12:37 a.m. on Dec. 4.The officers' handling of the case is presently under investigation by a watchdog outfit, the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

Fox News struggles to 'carry water for Trump' with awkward America 250 coverage
The Great American State Fair kicked off on Wednesday night, June 24 with a speech by President Donald Trump on the National Mall in Washington, DC. The Trump administration is touting the Fair, which continues through July 10, as a celebration of the United States' 250th anniversary. But Trump's critics are arguing that the opening felt more like a partisan MAGA rally than an actual celebration of America's achievements as a democratic republic. One of those critics is Media Matters' Matt Gertz. During a late June appearance on The New Republic's podcast "The Daily Blast," Gertz stressed that turnout at the Great American State Fair's opening was a major disappointment — citing the MAGA themes as a key factor and attacking Fox News' glowing coverage as painfully awkward.Fox News, according to Gertz, went out of its way to "carry water" for Trump with its Fair coverage.Gertz told podcast host Sargent, "It's been a tough few months for people who have to carry water for Donald Trump every night…. And basically, they're trying to use what should be a celebration of the Declaration of Independence, of America’s 250th birthday, as a partisan wedge issue, as a cudgel against the Democratic Party, while simultaneously talking up Donald Trump and his ability to pull a huge crowd and get them together for a big rally. So, the failure, I think, of the kickoff event is a pretty big problem for them in the medium term as they try to keep that message going over the next 10, 12 days."Gertz described attendance on Wednesday night as a major disappointment.The Media Matters report told Sargent, a former Washington Post columnist, "Originally, this was supposed to be a big concert with a bunch of different artists who were scheduled to play. But as it became more and more clear that these Freedom 250 events are extremely partisan, the artists decided to drop out. And eventually Trump kind of threw up his hands and said, instead of having this concert, we’re going to launch the state fair with what he called the greatest rally ever. It doesn’t seem to have worked out that way."Sargent pointed out that Trump "seems very sensitive" about the "low turnout" on June 24, lamenting that he "tried to turn a celebration of America's 250th birthday into a Trump rally." When the "Daily Blast" host described Trump's Great American State Fair speech as an "imperial, dictatorial display of self-glorification," he got no argument from Gertz.The Media Matters reporter told Sargent, "I mean, I think what we have here is a president who does not respect any sort of separation between himself and the country at large. And so, he views the idea of celebrating the nation's birthday as one and the same with celebrating himself. I think there's no clearer way to see that than how he decided to kick off the festivities with what he personally described as a rally speech — a partisan speech in which he sort of ran down what he claims are his accomplishments and talked about himself, rather than the nation, rather than what brings us together. And that becomes more and more fraught as he becomes more and more unpopular."
