If it wasn’t enough for Jesse Watters to declare that every man to cast a vote for Kamala Harris would turn into a woman, the brainless Fox News host is at it again. And this time it wasn’t just disgusted viewers who felt the anchor had gone too far. His female co-hosts visibly reacted to his ghoulish comments on air, calling him out for his blatant misogyny.
The viral clip comes from Fox News’ primetime talk show, The Five. And while it sounds like – and operates like – something that would be found in Amazon Prime’s The Boys, the clip makes for a genuine right-wing dumpster fire. In a recent episode, the five panelists were partaking in their favorite pastime of making up reasons why Harris wouldn’t be a decent president, and Watters dropped an outrageous hot take.
With a smile only the brattiest of five-year-olds could manage, the Fox News host told the table that Harris was, “Gonna get paralyzed in the situation room while the generals have their way with her.”
His female cohosts were immediately on edge, chastising him and telling him to “take it back.” Watters tossed in a quick, “figuratively,” before plowing on “Have their way with her –control her! Not in a sexual way,” with a self-satisfied smirk on his smug face. It wasn’t just his female colleagues disgusted by Watters’ word choice; women all over the internet felt the stab of disrespect intended by the words.
It would be a cold day in Hell before Watters used that sort of language to describe a male candidate, something that wasn’t lost on anyone with half a brain.
It’s not the first time Watters has appealed to insecure male voters. Back in July, he claimed that any man who backed Harris was “childish,” or suffered from “mommy issues,” and implied that they were seeking approval from women before claiming that any man who voted for Harris would “transition into a woman.”
The idea that Watters should have any input when it comes to the opposite sex is actually hilarious. The disinformation mouthpiece has been more than open about cheating on his wife with a much younger colleague, one he tricked into riding with him after he let the air out of her tires.
Guess Watters knows a thing or two about “having his way” with women. Watters retracted the statement and swore it was all a joke, but the concerning way he views women was made amply clear.
Watters is the ideal Trumpian mouthpiece. He behaves like an amoral degenerate all while lecturing the nation on morality. He works for a “News Network” that just lost a case for peddling misinformation, and relies on the inane ramblings of a septuagenarian for ratings.
Of course, not everyone online can apply critical thinking to subtext, and there were plenty of eager sycophants ready to defend Watters’s garbage take.
And of course, the homophobic “intellectuals” joined the fray, trying to bash gay Democrat Pete Buttigieg.
But most commenters agreed that Watters meant exactly what he said. Even the dictionary codifies the saying as sexual.
It’s clear that Watters has been trying to fill the inflammatory-generic-white-man role Tucker Carlson tailor-made for the network before being unceremoniously ousted in April of 2023. Watters might be a perfect person to fill the role of ghoul masquerading as a prepubescent boy, but at least we can rest easy knowing that somewhere out there, Watters’ own mother must be just as disappointed in him as we are.
