Jesse Watters has made a few wild statements in his time, but being color blind was likely not on Fox News viewers’ bingo card.

FOX News host Jesse Watters claims that he is colour blind

Viewers of Fox News have been left scratching their heads thanks to Jesse Watters’ latest revelation.

During Tuesday’s installment of Fox News The Five, the panel discussed the phrase “brain rot” being crowned word of the year by Oxford thanks to its endless use of social media.

As the conversation developed, Jesse came out with the questionable remark: “You’ve heard me say, Richard, that I don’t see color,” as he addressed his The Five co-host Richard Fowler.

The former judge’s reaction then promoted Jesse to admit: “I don’t even notice you’re white, Jeanine.”

Seemingly trying to clarify his co-star’s wild outburst, Richard pointed out: “His phone is black and white y’all. I’m going to let him get away with that. He just stepped right into it.”

“I have a color-blind phone,” Jesse confirmed as he whipped his phone out of his pocket.

“I was told to take the color off my phone, so now it’s just, let me show you,” he went on as he flashed his phone to the camera, showing that its settings were, in fact, set to the monochrome tone.

“It’s all black and white; it’s a colorblind phone,” the controversial news anchor reiterated before warning viewers: “Don’t zoom in on my apps, people.”

Jesse then claimed: “And it’s supposed to help with brain rot,” before Richard brutally joked, “I think your brain has already rotted. So it’s not going well, it’s not going well at all,” as while the panel roared with laughter.

Viewers were quick to comment on Jesse’s admission, like X user @VikingNature, who asked: “Serious question: does Jesse have hairspray poisoning?”

As viewer @Gutter_Roamer wondered: “Why is he so weird,” with @truckle4evr pointing out: “His phone is all black and white, but he doesn’t recognize if anybody is black or white? How does that work, exactly?”

While user @RichGallagher18 pleaded: “Please someone tell me how this nitwit is employed…” and another person @infinitedly9 blasted: “He’s such a pig. And I’m being kind here.”
