Jesse Watters was fact-checked by his own colleagues on Fox News as he complained yet again about Donald Trump having to stand trial in his hush money case.

They trapped him in a cage. We call it a courtroom but its a cage and hes like King Kong, Watters, who often defends the four-times-indicted former president, whined on Wednesdays episode of The Five.

Watters claimed the presumptive GOP presidential nominee was being treated like a zoo creature by reporters including MSNBC s Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid amid the intense media coverage of the proceedings.

And what happens with King Kong? You remember. Boom. Its not going to be good. So hes going to bust out of this cage eventually. Theyre not going to be able to keep him down, he added.

Co-host Harold Ford Jr., however, pointed out: They killed King Kong.

Fellow panelists Jeanine Pirro and Tyrus agreed as co-host Dana Perino laughed.

I dont think I saw the end of that movie, Watters then admitted, before laughing at himself.

Earlier in the week, Watters claimed it is cruel and unusual punishment for Trump to have to attend his criminal trial.
