Have you seen what\u2019s going on in D.C.? This is the biggest fair in American history,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t know why anybody can\u2019t get down with this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo while that\u2019s going on there, the Democrats are ripping up the reflecting pool,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStop it!\u201d his co-host, Jessica Tarlov, hit back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA couple of days ago, a lot of people at this table pooh-poohed the idea that you guys would vandalize the pool. But now we have hard evidence, reported by the New York Times and the Park Police, because I\u2019ve looked at all the reports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Watters apparently didn\u2019t read well enough into those reports. Though the National Park Police indeed released documents, first reported by The New York Times, about the damage to the pool, the agency never identified the perpetrators.<\/p>\n<p>In a , NPS official Frank Lands said that, on June 9, U.S. Park Police responded to a report of damage to the reflecting pool, \u201cincluding a caulk over the foam sealant that was cut with a sharp knife or razor and destruction of delaminating surface material.\u201d He also said about 70 fence post tops were tossed into the 2,000-foot-long pool<\/p>\n<p>Lands did not declare the damage a result of vandalism, and did not identify anyone who could have been involved.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2336\">MS NOW Anchor Leaves Network After 3 Decades<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Watters echoed earlier statements made by Trump himself, who has repeatedly blasted supposed vandals for tearing up his pet project. An unsightly algal bloom and peeling paint have joined forces to humiliate the 80-year-old president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I saw it. They cut it. They cut it very violently. The same thing with the floor. They cut it, and then they lifted it, and they pulled it. And that\u2019s what it is,\u201d Trump previously claimed. <\/p>\n<p>The president doubled down on Wednesday, telling NATO chief Mark Rutte that \u201cthugs\u201d took aim at the pool.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey just told me a little while ago,\u201d Trump told Rutte. \u201cSix have been arrested, and like six or seven are under investigation. They had pictures and everything else. They went to the bottom, and it\u2019s not a paint job, it\u2019s very expensive, it\u2019s not rubber\u2014but it\u2019s like rubber\u2014and they went down with probably a box cutter or a very sharp razor of some kind or knife, and they cut, and then they started ripping it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, one of the guys, he\u2019s a member or a big player to ActBlue,\u201d Trump added, referencing the Democratic Party fundraising platform. \u201cHe\u2019s a big Hillary supporter, he\u2019s a big supporter of Sleepy Joe Biden.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Watters has his own eyebrow-raising history with vandalism. In 2022, the Fox News star stirred controversy when he claimed on <i>The Five<\/i> that he flattened his future wife\u2019s tires so that she would hitch a ride with him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was trying to get Emma (DiGiovine) to date me, first thing I did, let the air out of her tires,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cShe couldn\u2019t go anywhere, she needed a lift. I said \u2018Hey you need a lift?\u2019 She (got) right into the car.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2334\">JD Vance Faces the Ultimate Clapback From Pope Leo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gutfeld, his co-host, later forced him to clarify that it was a joke.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThat was a joke,\u201d Watters later said. \u201cI never deflated anyone\u2019s tires.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jesse Watters has blamed the Reflecting Pool disaster on his usual suspects.
