When describing the members of President Donald Trump’s “crew of guys,” Fox News host Jesse Watters described Secretary of State Marco Rubio as being “like your Mexican friend that works a lot, but is really funny.”
Rubio, 54, who was born in Florida, is the son of Cuban—not Mexican—immigrants who came to the U.S. in the 1950s.
Watters made the ill-informed comment while describing Trump’s Cabinet, calling them a “crew” and running through various members and the archetypal roles they occupy. The analogy was inspired by a story of would-be Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. having to eat a Big Mac aboard Trump’s aircraft shortly after the 2024 election, a food he later compared to poison.
