Fox News’ Jesse Watters “visibly tensed up<\/u>” Thursday at the mention of a progressive journalist he got into a physical altercation<\/u> with roughly a decade ago \u2013 one who, by some accounts<\/u>, got the better of him, multiple journalists said.<\/p>\n

Appearing Thursday on Fox News\u2019 \u201cThe Five,\u201d Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov flagged new reporting<\/u> that suggested two of President Donald Trump\u2019s top Middle East negotiators \u2013 Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff \u2013 were exploiting<\/u> U.S.-Iran peace negotiations for their own personal financial gain. The claim was first published in Drop Site News, an independent outlet co-founded by journalist Ryan Grim.<\/p>\n

“Drop Site News [has] a piece out about an Iranian official who told them that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are abusing their insider status for personal gain,” Tarlov said, naming Grim directly when \u201cThe Five\u201d host Dana Perino asked her what Drop Site News is.<\/p>\n

Watters was not immediately on camera at the mention of Grim\u2019s name, but followed up on Tarlov\u2019s remarks with a dismissive comment questioning the report\u2019s credibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn Iranian said that?\u201d Watters said, smiling. \u201cTold that to who, Drop Site News? Okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tarlov fired back at Watters over his dismissive remarks and reminded the Fox News host that he had similarly dismissed reporting surrounding the memorandum of understanding (MOU) agreed to by the Trump administration and Tehran, reporting that ultimately proved to be accurate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s so funny about this is that that\u2019s exactly what you guys said to me when I talked about the MOU that was allegedly leaked,\u201d Tarlov said. \u201c[Vice President] JD Vance sat next to me and said that I was parodying Iranian propaganda, and guess what: that MOU was word-for-word what it actually turned out to be. So you can mock me all that you want.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reacting to a clip of Tarlov and Watters’ exchange, Drop Site News journalist Julian Andreone suggested the mention of Grim brought Watters \u201cflashbacks\u201d to their scuffle a decade prior.<\/p>\n

\u201cJesse Watters took a veiled shot at the end of the video, but visibly tensed up when Jessica Tarlov mentioned Ryan,\u201d Andreone wrote in a social media post<\/u> on X. \u201cWonder why (flashbacks)!\u201d<\/p>\n

Watters and Grim reportedly got into a scuffle in 2016 at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner after Grim confronted the Fox News anchor over his treatment of Washington-based journalist Amanda Terkel. Grim recorded the encounter on his phone, and captured Watters admitting to having “ambushed” Terkel at the behest of conservative commentator Bill O\u2019Reilly.<\/p>\n

Watters appeared to then realize Grim was recording the encounter and promptly grabbed Grim\u2019s phone and threw it across the room. Grim told The Guardian<\/u> that \u201cthere were a lot of fists flying\u201d before the two were separated.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the clip of Watters dismissing Tarlov and Drop Site News\u2019 reporting, MeidasTouch reporter Pablo Manr\u00edquez offered his own take on decade-old scuffle.<\/p>\n

\u201cFun Fact: Ryan Grim beat Jesse Watters’ a– at the 2016 White House Correspondents Dinner MSNBC after-party,\u201d Manr\u00edquez wrote in a social media post<\/u> on X. \u201cWatters hasn’t been seen at a WHCD weekend since.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Independent White House correspondent Andrew Feinberg appeared to concur with Manr\u00edquez\u2019s description of the scuffle, writing<\/u>: \u201cOh yea I remember that.\u201d<\/p>\n
