“The Five” host Jesse Watters didn’t hold back Thursday after The New York Times published an op-ed calling for the abolition of billionaires. “This is what I call an idiot brush fire,” Watters told his co-hosts after he called the writer of the op-ed an idiot. “Everybody starts talking about abolishing billionaires and it spreads,” Watters explained to laughter. Ocasio-Cortez earlier last month called for a 70 percent tax on the super-wealthy while Warren proposed her own separate “wealth tax” at the end of January. That’s not a sustainable economy, or a sustainable democracy,” Warren tweeted last Tuesday.
