Fox News personality Jesse Watters is drawing criticism for his recent comments on The Five, where he claimed that Hillary Clinton will only be remembered by historians as a footnote because of her gender, as Molly Sprayregen reported for LGBTQ Nation.
The remarks immediately sparked pushback from his fellow panelists. When Democratic commentator Jessica Tarlov pointed out Clinton’s extensive political resume, including her roles as First Lady, a U.S. Senator, and Secretary of State, Watters doubled down. He dismissed her decades of public service by stating she is simply a female doing what men do.
The tense exchange highlights a recurring theme for the conservative host, who frequently centers his commentary around rigid gender roles and masculinity. Tarlov ultimately told Watters the commentary was beneath him, a remark he quickly brushed off to the amusement of the rest of the panel.
