I would never have imagined this scenario in a million years, especially if you've watched Watters antics through the years like I have. He's constantly ratf*&king groups, people and politicians that he knows Bill O'Reilly objects to, but this catch has to hurt BIllO at the core.

An FEC filing from News Corp employee Jesse Watters.

One week after the 2012 election, Fox News correspondent Jesse Watters told Bill O'Reilly that Obama voters were "zombies" who supported the president "as long as there was Obamacare, gay marriage and abortion on demand."

Per the FEC filing above, Watters, who resides in Long Island, N.Y., contributed $500 to Obama Victory Fund 2012 in late September. You'll note "News Corp.," which owns Fox News, is listed under "name of employer."

POLITICO reached out to Fox News PR to request an interview with Watters and to ask the network for comment. They did not respond.

There's no reason for this donation -- unless he's a closet Obama supporter. Isn't it sad that he has to hide his real feelings? Reminds me of a certain group of people who lived like that for a very long time.

Can you help us out?
