Fox News host Jesse Watters attacked President Obama for not looking at things from an "American" perspective after the former president commented on the media's obsession with OceanGate's Titan submarine tragedy.

While in Greece, President Obama discussed the struggles of migrants and asylum-seekers around the world and blasted the media coverage that obsessively focused on the Titan submarine tragedy, instead of 700 asylum-seekers drowned in a fishing trawler that sank off the coast of Greece this month.

Enter Jesse Watters, who was just tabbed to take over Tucker's slot.

The Five's Greg Gutfeld said the submarine was a more sexy story that intrigued Americans.

Up jumped Watters, who decided to paint President Obama as an other, not a real American, a carpetbagger who is more loyal to the Muslim brotherhood than the American citizens he swore to protect for eight years.

Well, when you're a citizen of the world, you always think about the world instead of the United States.

Remember, this is a guy whose father has roots in Africa.

This is a guy who spent a lot of his childhood in Southeast Asia.

Is that right?

I think it's right.

And then...

He ate a dog, Jesse.

I didn't bring that up.

But I'm glad you did.

And then spent a lot of time in Hawaii.

Was that the last state to get a star on the flag?

Not so sure about that.

But he's never really looking at things from an American perspective.

He's always speaking to the world.

Even when he's speaking to us, he's appealing to the world.

What a stupid f**king opinion.

When Obama was running for his second term, that's when the despicable Birthers erupted. This also coincided with Trump jumping into the political octagon and doing what he does, which is to lie. He immediately lied about Obama's birth certificate.

Jesse, you get called a racist because of the racist things you literally say on the air, and no other reason.

You will slip in perfectly into Tucker Carlson's White Power Hour.
