Laura Ingraham and Jesse Watters, vocal critics of communism, join Chinese President Xi Jinping at White House event
Fox News personalities Laura Ingraham and Jesse Watters attended a state dinner at the White House in honor of Chinese President Xi Jinping, despite their past criticisms of communism. The event was part of Xi's visit to the United States, which included a meeting with President Trump.
Ingraham and Watters were joined by fellow Fox News host Bret Baier at the dinner. Ingraham posted a video on Facebook, apologizing for not hosting her show and explaining that she had been invited to the state dinner. Watters was photographed attending the dinner with his wife, Emma DiGiovine.
Jesse Watters has previously stated that 'there's no negotiating with communists' on his show, and has also claimed that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries planned to 'hide these crazy communists until November'. Laura Ingraham has also criticized the concept of communism on her show.
