Jesse Watters inexplicably claimed that “when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.” His colleagues weren’t happy
Hot off the heels of widespread mockery after demanding video evidence of rumors that Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) got intimate with a sofa, Fox News host Jesse Watters would like his viewers to know that if they vote for a woman, they have “mommy issues.”
During Tuesday’s episode of The Five, Watters wondered why “any man would vote Democrat,” while discussing a record-breaking “White Dudes for Harris,” fundraising call that took place earlier this week.
“It’s not the party of virtue, security — it’s not the party of strength — it’s definitely not the party of family. And to be a man and then vote for a woman just because she’s a woman is either childish — that person has mommy issues — or they are just trying to be accepted by other women,” Watters said. “I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”
To their credit, Watters’ three female co-hosts on The Five made their displeasure with his statements known, only to be shut down by former wrestler and alleged sexual harasser Tyrus.
“He quoted a scientist,” Tyrus interjected.
Co-host Jessica Tarlov noted that while the “White Dudes for Harris” call did feature several prominent celebrities, including actor Jeff Bridges, the conversation featured more than 180,000 participants. “There were tens of thousands of people on this call. They weren’t all Hollywood elites. There were a lot of regular people that wanted to come and show support for her, and the democratic ticket,” Tarlov said.

“The conversations that I thought were really important — and this is a policy issue — is the number of men that were expressing a regret from past elections, that they didn’t do enough to get the democratic candidate elected, and that black voters, in particular, are the ones that always show up and that white voters let them down,” she added.
There are a total of 44 women in the House and Senate Republican caucuses, and the party has been making a concerted effort to draw more into the party. Jeanine Pirro, a former elected judge, eventually circled the conversation back to Watters’ comments. “I want to say one thing. The men who voted for me didn’t turn into women. Okay?”
