Fox News’ Jesse Watters insisted “it’s funny” that former President Barack Obama’s “middle name was Hussein” in Thursday’s edition of The Five.
The subject of discussion was a Wednesday podcast appearance, during which Obama said he finds President Donald Trump’s “obsession” with him to be a “strange” thing.
“I obviously have a room in his head. A suite in his head,” the former president said on the All the Smoke podcast.
“Trump talks a lot,” said Watters on Thursday. “He says a lot of things. So yeah, he’s gonna mention Barack Hussein Obama. Part of that is just he likes to say ‘Hussein.’”
“Why does he like to say Hussein?” interjected co-host Jessica Tarlov.
“‘Cause it’s funny that the president’s middle name was Hussein,” responded Watters. “You don’t think that’s hysterical?”
“No, I don’t,” said Tarlov. “I think it’s interesting in the context of saying that he’s a Muslim, which is why he says it, so that people still think he’s a Muslim.”
“Well, he did say he was Muslim,” said Watters, “and then he cleaned it up. Remember that NBC interview? He said, ‘My Muslim faith.’ I don’t know what he is. I don’t care what he is. He’s probably an atheist.”
“You know what he is!” insisted Tarlov.
“He is, I know. He’s retired,” conceded Watters.
Since the beginning of his political career, Obama has faced questions about his religion. NBC News covered a 2008 campaign rally of his in South Carolina, emphasizing that while “his father and stepfather were Muslim… [Obama] attended secular and Catholic schools.”
“I’ve been to the same church — the same Christian church — for almost 20 years,” Obama said at the rally in question. “I was sworn in with my hand on the family Bible. Whenever I’m in the United States Senate, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. So if you get some silly e-mail … send it back to whoever sent it and tell them this is all crazy. Educate.”
