Fox News host Jesse Watters faced backlash after criticizing DOGE for laying off a veteran friend, despite previously praising its cost-cutting efforts.
He argued veterans should be prioritized over DEI consultants, prompting critics to point out that hiring veterans is part of DEI.
Online users mocked his inconsistency, with some noting his misunderstanding of DEI principles.
