The results of the presidential election hit home for one Fox News host as a “scheduling situation” left him uninvited from his own mother’s Thanksgiving while Democrats sought “space.”

While President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris appeared ready to “turn the page” on their fearmongering rhetoric about President-elect Donald Trump and the GOP, leftist talking heads have yet to let up. As a result, viewers who bought into their bilge were having as much trouble as pundits in moving on, including Fox News host Jesse Watters’ mother.

During Monday’s installment of “Jesse Watters Primetime” the host explained that his liberal Democrat mother, Dr. Anne Watters, hadn’t included him in the annual gathering, relaying “there wasn’t enough room.”

“People are taking some space in the Watters household. I’ll have you know that I was not invited to my mother’s house for Thanksgiving. Apparently, there wasn’t enough room. She said it was a scheduling situation and then, at the last second, invited me to come over on Black Friday,” explained the host. “I told her no thanks, I’ll be at Best Buy.”

The reveal came at the end of his monologue where he had touted some of Trump’s announced plans for a second administration amid the myriad excuses being made on the left for why Harris had lost. Before playing clips of pundits endeavoring to cope with the existence of GOP voters in the world, the host concluded, “Since they can’t stop us, we’re not invited to Thanksgiving.”

In one MSNBC moment from “The Sunday Show,” host Jonathan Capehart turned to religion as he expressed to his guest, openly gay retired Bishop Gene Robinson, “And yet now the election’s over, folks accept the results, but now…how do we move forward when…you have people in their families who voted for him, they work with people who voted for him, they live next to people who voted for him. What do you — how do we — how should we deal with those neighbors; co-workers; family members?”

Likewise, MSNBC’s Joy Reid brought on Yale University psychiatrist Dr. Amanda Calhoun who argued, “There is a societal push that, if somebody is your family, they are entitled to your time. And I think the answer is absolutely not.”

The decisive message continued, “So you are going to a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, like what you said, your livelihood, it’s completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why. You know, to say, ‘I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood, and I’m not gonna be around you this holiday. I need to take some space for me.’”

While George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley reacted to Calhoun by pushing for people to “resolve those feeling” noting, “It may actually help to discuss these issues outside the echo chamber of your political associations,” and what is worth remembering was the how Watters’ mother had reacted to Trump’s conviction.

As he told his colleagues on “The Five,” “My mom is celebrating. She texted me that she was dancing after the verdict. Dancing. And then she kept all day sending me 34, 34, 34 felony counts. She’s a grandmother. She’s a grandmother! Get it together, Mom! Oh my God!”

Reactions to the host’s family situation included testimony to the same division.
