Jesse Watters paid a special tribute to Karoline Leavitt on Thursday’s episode of Primetime

Diehard MAGA fan and Fox News host Jesse Watters had Karoline Leavitt gushing on her Instagram Story on Thursday.

During Thursday’s episode of Jesse Watters Primetime, the 46-year-old host discussed Federal law enforcement officers capturing an alleged “major leader” of the MS-13 gang. “These Latin gang leaders were a thirty-minute drive from the white house,” Jesse began before a clip of White House Press Secretary Karoline popped up.

Addressing the triumph, Karoline spoke to cameras, declaring: “This took place thirty miles outside of Washington DC, where you have politicians and mainstream media journalists who live in this city and who have derailed against the president and his crackdown on illegal immigration and on violent crime.

“They should be grateful that monsters like this are no longer going to be living in their communities,” she proudly added.

“By the way, look at this working mom,” Jesse jumped in as a pic of Karoline cuddling her baby boy flashed up on the screen.

“Baby Nicholas, aka Nico. And a few years will be tangling with CNN, just like his mom,” Jesse, who has four children of his own, added.

He concluded the segment by taking a jab at the rival network, saying: “That’s if CNN is still around.”

Karoline, 27, appeared to be flattered by her and her son, whom she shares with her husband Nicholas Riccio, 59, who is being shown on Primetime.

Taking to her Instagram Story to share a snippet of their feature on the show, Karoline penned: “My baby made Primetime! Thanks @jessewatters,” followed by a laughing face emoji.

Karoline welcomed her adorable little one in July 2024. She took to Instagram to announce little Niko’s arrival by sharing a black and white snap of him, seemingly after labour.

“July 10, 2024. 11:25PM. The moment our son was born. The moment I officially became a mom. The best moment of my life,” she penned.

The mom of one continued: “It’s true when they say there’s nothing comparable to the love you feel for your child. My heart has grown bigger than I ever imagined possible. Babies are the ultimate blessing and I’m bursting with gratitude for our beautiful, happy, healthy boy.”

Before concluding: “Nicholas Robert aka Niko. My son. I love you. ”
