Fox News host Jesse Watters on Friday said special counsel Robert Mueller is “basically” the Democratic presidential nominee for 2020.
Watters said Friday while guest-hosting Laura Ingraham’s “The Ingraham Angle” on Fox News that Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s election hacking was likely the only thing that could derail President Trump’s reelection bid in 2020.
“It seems like Mueller’s basically the Democrat candidate for president,” Watters said. “He’s the only person that can stop Donald Trump’s reelection. And the Democrats are putting all their eggs in the Mueller basket and if he clears everybody else after this, they have nothing.”
The Fox host also criticized Democrats for defending Mueller’s probe, playing a clip of California Rep. Ted Lieu (D) speaking about the Mueller probe on the House floor.
Lieu warned in his floor speech Wednesday that Trump would take the first steps toward impeachment by seeking to shut down Mueller’s investigation.
“If Donald Trump wants to take the first footsteps of Richard Nixon, he’s certainly welcome to try,” Lieu said. “But it will not end well for him.”
