Fox News host Jesse Watters revealed on Monday that his own mother, Anne, was among the millions of Americans who took to the streets last weekend for the “No Kings” rallies protesting President Donald Trump’s policies.
“I know my mom was there,” Watters said during Monday’s broadcast of “The Five.”
“Really?” co-host Greg Gutfeld asked, sounding surprised.
“Can you believe my mom was there?” Watters replied. “It’s like, sometimes I think I was adopted.”
Watters, a staunch Trump supporter, went on to suggest that the protesters, including his Democratic-voting mother, were simply obsessed with Trump.
“They think this guy’s like crack cocaine,” he said. “They get these big bursts of energy every once in a while, but long term, this has been bad for their health.”
“They’ve lost the culture, they’ve lost the media, they’ve lost two of the last three elections, they’ve lost all power in Washington, and they’ve lost their minds,” he added.
Watch from the 1:50 point here:
Watters claimed that most of the people who attended the rallies “had no idea why they’re there,” apart from “some,” like his mom, of course.
“These people are nuts,” he added.
On his later prime-time show, Watters said the rallies were “a who’s who” of people with so-called Trump Derangement Syndrome (which is not a clinical condition) and sheepishly said, “even my mom was there,” shaking his head.

Watters has repeatedly clashed with his mother over politics.
She’s criticized him for making “sweeping statements” and he last year claimed he wasn’t invited to Thanksgiving following Trump’s 2024 election win, though it’s unclear if that was a serious admission or just on-air banter.
