Fox News host Jesse Watters on Wednesday read texts from his mother, whom he described as a “liberal Democrat,” during his show on the right-leaning network.

“When you are good you are so very very good and when there is a performance like last night’s I become so distraught that you have moved ever closer to that imaginary line that cannot be crossed,” Ann Watters wrote in one message to her son, a host on Fox News’s “The Five.”

“I am tired of the Fox and Friends fellow,” she said in another message.

“Enough. Think about how to make the world a better place.”

“All I can say is thank God for Juan Williams. Really Jesse,” she wrote in one of her texts, referring to Fox News host Juan Williams, who has been critical of President Trump. Williams is a regular contributor to The Hill.

“Please don’t become a talking head that is predictable and thin-your colleagues roll their eyes and grown (sic) aloud with their pre-game knowledge of what your position and point is going to be,” she wrote in a final message Watters read to his co-hosts.
