On Second Night of Post-O'Reilly Lineup Fox News Star Makes Veiled Oral Sex Joke About Ivanka Trump

Fox News rising star Jesse Watters made a thinly-veiled on-air oral sex "joke" about the First Daughter, Ivanka Trump, on the second day of the embattled news network's new post O'Reilly prime time lineup.

Bill O'Reilly was fired after multiple women, at least seven, accused the 21-year Fox News veteran of sexual harassment. The allegations cost the network tens of millions in payments to the women (up to $13 million), a payout to O'Reilly ($25 million) and unknown millions in lost revenue as more than 60 advertisers fled "The O'Reilly Factor."

But Tuesday night Watters, who often appeared on O'Reilly's show, and has now been promoted as a co-host of the new primetime Fox New show, "The Five," ignored all the sexual harassment reports (the Fox News hotline reportedly has been very active) and made an oral sex joke involving the president's daughter.

After playing a clip of Ivanka Trump being hissed and booed by the audience at an international conference focusing on women's empowerment, the W20, part of the G20 economic forum, Watters first blamed liberals for expressing displeasure with Trump's remarks.

... if it's not an actual requirement, it certainly seems to benefit certain candidates. It's a characteristic that makes the decision-makers sit up and take notice... it gives the candidate an advantage over someone who may happen to respect women and who'll treat us as equals.

He's basically a production assistant who has no talent for humor or video making. I've seen some of his contributions and they are heavily spliced with movie quotes to try to make them funny. Compare this to the Daily Show (which are also edited of course) where the field reporter uses their own words to ridicule and deride the interviewees.

But this is more like scraping the floor of the abandoned steam tunnels underneath the sub-basement of the now defunct barrel storage warehouse.

. . .it's made worse by the fact that the "joke" isn't the least bit funny. Some times humor can offend, but it only works if it's actually funny. This isn't.

All that said, still better than giving more airtime to that dirtbag Billy.
