Fox News’s The Five got heated when one co-host accused the other of taking talking points from Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina.
The panel was discussing the military operation in Iran when tensions boiled over between Kennedy and Jesse Watters. While Watters believes that America should wait and see whether President Donald Trump sticks to his plan for a short-term plan, Kennedy says that people need more details before they can trust the president.
Watch:
“Listen, Donald Trump, himself, Pete Hegseth, and top officials within the administration have told us completely backward explanations for this multiple times,” Jessica Tarlov said earlier in the segment. “We’ve heard it will be a few days. Actually, it will take months. No boots on the ground. Also, a draft, and we’re sending thousands of troops to the region.”
Kennedy agreed with her, sparking the disagreement with Watters.
“Let’s say he’s not really talking to the Iranians. Let’s assume that he’s making this up to buy time or just to confuse whoever is left because whoever is left is so incredibly paranoid that they think that somehow, Saudi Arabia and UAE and Israel and the United States have cobbled together a new Iranian regime and that’s is who is going to be leading country, and the second they pop their heads out of their hole they are going to be blown off. So even if he’s talking to no one, there is still utility in that, and I do think Jessica has a fair point asking when this whole thing will end, because the misdirect is fine for our enemies. It’s not okay for the American people. And we deserve a timeline, especially when people are worried about–” she said before Watters cut her off.
“I don’t think you want to put a timeline on something like this. It will be over when he says it’s over, and the objectives have almost been accomplished–” he said, as Kennedy butts back in.
“Thanks, John Bolton. Has Lindsey Graham been typing out your talking points?” she jabbed.0
“Ok, is this a twenty-year war? It’s three weeks, everybody. Take a break. Let the man cook, and obviously, we’re going to be successful. We’ve got the Marines coming,” he assures his co-host.
“Ok, is he a short-order cook, or is this a twenty-course meal?” Kennedy asks. “Are we a French Laundry or Chipotle?”
“If you’re complaining about three weeks, Kennedy, I think you need to be a little more patient, okay? And let the operators do their thing,” Watters suggested.
“I am an impatient woman based on very recent history.”
