Fox News host Jesse Watters criticized for controversial comment about Kamala Harris

Jesse Watters, a host on Fox News, is under fire for making a controversial comment about Vice President Kamala Harris during a recent broadcast of the network's show "The Five." While discussing Harris's role in foreign policy decisions, Watters suggested that the Vice President might be "paralyzed in the Situation Room while the generals have their way with her," a remark that many viewers interpreted as inappropriate and sexist.

Fellow Fox News host Jeanine Pirro immediately reacted to Watters' comment, expressing her disapproval by saying, "Whoa, Jesse. I don’t like that. Take that back." Despite Pirro's objection, Watters doubled down on his statement, clarifying, "Have their way with her, control her! Not in a sexual way," before smirking.

The incident quickly drew criticism on social media, with many users condemning Watters for what they viewed as a misogynistic remark. Commentators pointed out that such a statement would likely never be directed at a male politician. One user noted, "The bottom line is, he would never say this about a male. Simple as that," while others called for Watters to be held accountable for his words.

Watters also referenced his own mother during the broadcast, suggesting that she might denounce him for the remark on MSNBC, and sarcastically remarked that it would be "disgusting."

The comment has sparked significant backlash, with critics accusing Watters of sexism and questioning the appropriateness of such remarks on a major news network. Despite the criticism, there has been no indication that Fox News will take disciplinary action against Watters.
