Jesse Watters Runs Fake Story About the Pentagon Wanting to Turn Taylor Swift into a PsyOp‘That’s Real’
"Fox News host Jesse Watters played a video that he said showed a Department of Defense official suggesting that Taylor Swift could be used in a government psychological operation.
However, that is not what the video showed.
“I like her music,” he said on Tuesday’s Jesse Watters Primetime. “She’s all right, but I mean, have you ever wondered why or how she blew up like this?”
The host then made a striking claim.
“Well, around four years ago, the Pentagon psychological operations unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting. What kind of asset? A PsyOp for combatting online misinformation.”"
