Fox News hosts call out Jesse Watters for saying generals would ‘have their way’ with Harris if elected

Fox News’ Jesse Watters was called out by his own co-hosts for saying generals “would have their way” with Kamala Harris if she is elected president.

On Monday’s edition of The Five, the panel was discussing Harris’s foreign policy and the US’s Afghanistan withdrawal in August 2021.

During the discussion – on what marked the third anniversary of the chaotic withdrawal – Watters made the unsavory comment about the woman campaigning to become America’s first female president.

“What is her foreign policy? This is where the president has the most impact,” Watters asked.

“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.”

Co-host Jeanine Pirro quickly condemned his comments, saying: “I don’t like that. Take it back.”

Dana Perino also waded in, highlighting her disapproval by saying Watters’ name in full.

In an attempt to row back, Watters said: “Figuratively…Have their way with her, control her…not in a sexual way.”

Viewers were outraged by Watters’s remarks, branding him misogynistic and sexist.

“Jesse Watters thinks misogyny is funny,” one person posted on X.

“This is how these guys talk about their own daughters when they’re not around too,” another said.

Another person also chimed in: “There was a time not so long ago when ppl [sic] most likely would be taken off the air, and possibly fired for saying anything such as this.  He’s a real jerk, to say the least.”

Kerstin Emhoff, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff’s ex-wife, also slammed his comments. “There are many things to worry about, but Kamala being manhandled in the situation room is not one of them,” she wrote on X.

Later on in the show, Watters acknowledged the
