Fox Host Jesse Watters Goes On Sudden Vacation After Ivanka Trump Comment

Source: TPM





By Caitlin MacNeal Published April 27, 2017, 8:50 AM EDT

.......................

“I am going to be taking a vacation with my family, so I will not be here tomorrow and Friday,” he said at the end of Fox News’ “The Five. “Try not to miss me too much.”

During the show on Tuesday night, Watters made a comment about Ivanka Trump’s participation in a women’s summit in German.

“You know, the left says they really respect women and then when given an opportunity to respect a woman like that, they boo and hiss,” he said.

“So I don’t really get what’s going on here but I really liked how she was speaking into that microphone,” Watters added while making a fist and holding it up to his face..............

daugther on national TV.

I'm no fan of trump or Ivanka but come on.

FOX is out of control.

This fool saw what happened to Ailes and O'Reilly and still didn't get the message.

I doubt he'll be back on the air — too dumb even for FOX.

so when Ivanka lied that her daddy - the compulsive liar republican Draft-Dodger-and Pussy Grabber in-Chief - was all about "family" - the audience was compelled to either laugh at how preposterous the lie was, or boo - and let Ivanka know that her republican bullshit is unacceptable and unwelcome.

Left, right, center, whatever. Lies and bullshit are unwelcome.

Meadow Soprano thought that no matter how vile, corrupt and vicious he father and his mafia were, she could function in the world as a legitimate person, despite the fact that her education and position all came from Daddy's crimes; it was all bankrolled by that.

Meadow Soprano was IN the Mafia, even though she refused to acknowledge it, as did her family.

Just as Ivanka is complicit. And, what Daddy has done to women, she has done. She has actually participated. Talk about a sociopath! To have the guts to go there and try to pull this off without batting an eye.

what her father has done doesn't touch her?

God, she's got a lot to learn — and she's a White House advisor with an office, chief of staff and all.

And her know-nothing husband is in charge of everything else.

We're in big trouble.

the dump spawn think they can lie and spin their way out of bad situations. After all, they learned at daddy's knee that it doesn't matter what you do, it matters what people think you do. Image is everything. They think they have the power to con the masses. And, unfortunately, to some extent they are right.

isn't the whole family...excluding donny...running the country?
For awhile there, everytime trump shot off his mouth..in an
obvious clueless manner, the news would point out a family
member that was good with the Chinese, good at doing this
and that.
So the people of Americu would feel better..<sarcasm>

Tony was her daddy and that was that... as much as he attempted to insulate her, even as she became a grown woman. She benefited from the entire sordid operation.

a truly despicable person. And he just got promoted when his mentor got fired. So nothing is new at Faux, same old same old. He has to go. And all the rest of his ilk.

the low-information old white dimwits who lurve them some faux probably don't see what the big deal is about. After all, sexism and misogyny are no doubt par for the course among faux viewers which is why the hosts play to that audience.

Bill O'Reilly's Top Protege Makes Pathetic Excuse After Outrage Builds Over Crude Ivanka Trump Oral Sex Joke


http://www.alternet.org/media/bill-oreillys-top-protege-fox-news-makes-oral-sex-joke-about-ivanka-trump



Just because O'Reilly is gone doesn't mean Fox is a different place.

....Watters, whose racist and sexist jokes are hamfisted even by Fox News standards, has a long history of going above and beyond in the dumb-and-offensive realm. From a segment that featured him mocking Chinese immigrants with gong sounds, to a bit where he called University of Missouri students protesting racial and gender inequality “sissies,” Watters continues to be the poster boy for Fox News culture. That includes making the baffling assumption that no one else can hear the sexist dog whistles he makes, as evidenced by his tweeted defense of the incident.

“On air I was referring to Ivanka's voice and how it resonates like a smooth jazz radio DJ,” Watters wrote in a Twitter message Tuesday night. “This was in no way a joke about anything else.”

You can watch the segment in its entirety to see if that seems like a real excuse or the kind of thing that would be said by some idiot who's too dumb to know he's never outsmarted anyone, anywhere.
