Jesse Watters’ Misogyny on Full Display
Offensive Comments on “The Five”
Fox News’ Jesse Watters has shown once again that he can stoop to new lows. During the primetime show “The Five,” Watters made some very offensive comments about Vice President Kamala Harris. His words were so bad that even his fellow right-wing panelists, Jeanine Pirro and Dana Perino, had to speak up.
Disrespecting the Vice President
Watters said, “We don’t know who she is. We don’t know what she believes. She’s going to get paralyzed in the Situation Room while the generals have their way with her.”
Perino quickly responded, “Jesse Watters!” showing her disapproval.
Pirro added, “Oh, Jesse. I don’t like that.”
Weak Apology
Watters tried to backtrack by saying, “Figuratively, again.” But Pirro insisted, “Take it back.”
Watters then made a half-hearted attempt to clarify, “Have their way with her. Control her. Not in a sexual way.” He smirked at the camera, making it clear he wasn’t really sorry.
Doubling Down
Later, Watters brought up his sexist remarks again while discussing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his family’s disapproval of him endorsing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Watters mocked the idea of one family member speaking for everyone.
He said, “I’m sure my mother would probably go on MSNBC tonight and say, ‘My son, Jesse Watters, made a joke about Kamala Harris being manhandled by generals in the Situation Room, and he has desecrated the memory of our grandfather and it’s just, it’s disgusting. I can see my mom doing that.’”
Criticism from All Sides
Watters’ mother is known for being a liberal and often criticizes her son’s offensive political views. Now, Watters can add at least two conservative women, Pirro and Perino, to the list of people who find his misogyny unacceptable.
