Fox News host Jesse Watters engaged in a lengthy sexist rant disparaging former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, claiming she will not be remembered when historians look back on this period of time. During an episode of “The Five,” Watters was discussing Clinton’s recent comments about former President Joe Biden’s decision to seek a second term. “Historians will look back in 100 years, they’re not gonna look at the fake news stuff that Jessica (Tarlov) traffics in every day,” Watters said. “They’re gonna
see the big stuff, the world-defining moments, the rewiring of world trade, the crime, the economy, the border, what we’re doing internationally – that’s the stuff. Hillary Clinton is gonna be a footnote, and it’s just cause she’s a female.” “Ahh, that’s terrible,” co-host Greg Gutfeld said sarcastically. “It’s true! What has she done?” Watters asked. “She’s just a female, that’s it, a female that does what men do.” Tarlov quickly clapped back at Watters, pointing out that Clinton was a U.S. senator and secretary
of state. “That’s just a job,” Watters said. “How did she do at the job? Did she do a great job at the job? No, she did a terrible job! She did a terrible job! Just like many men have done terrible jobs at those same jobs.” Tarlov seemed taken aback by Watters’s comments, saying, “This is beneath you.” Watch the full clip from “The Five” here
Jesse Watters, The Five, Hillary Clinton, Greg Gutfeld, Jessica Tarlov, sexism, live TV, fact-check, Wednesday
Wait so they fact-checked a dude saying the dumbest thing ever? lol
I’m not even a Clinton fan but the “she’ll just be a footnote cause she’s a female” thing is gross. Like what does that even mean, historians are gonna ignore everything?
They’re saying it’s sexist but honestly it sounded more like he was mad about Biden? Then he started talking about fake news and world trade like ??? Also aren’t they all “jobs”? Senators aren’t “just a job” but his whole point felt backwards.
This is why I stopped watching that show. Watters always goes on these rants like he’s the smartest guy in the room, and then gets clapped back. “How did she do at the job” like he’s the judge. And Gutfeld going “ahh terrible” doesn’t really fix it, it just makes it sound like comedy. Historians won’t remember the fact-check but they’ll remember who was sexist on TV, sorry.
