Fox News’ Jesse Watters Gives His Verdict on Trump’s Comments About Men’s Bodies

Fox News anchor Jesse Watters claimed that President Donald Trump is so straight that it’s okay if he talks about “guys’ a**es,” even though he admitted that “sometimes it sounds a little gay.”

Watters was responding to comments Trump made about Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) during a recent rally in Ohio. While on stage on Monday night (October 12), the president said, “I’m standing over here, and I don’t do this with men very often. I started examining [Husted’s] body because I didn’t know he was a great athlete.”

He continued, “And I looked, and I watched up and down. I looked at his a**. And then I looked at his hands. Look at his hands. He’s got these, like, claws. And I got it. You are a great athlete.”

On Tuesday’s (October 13) edition of The Five, Watters shifted the conversation from midterm election analysis to Trump’s comments about Husted. “We’re talking about guy’s a**es. I don’t know why you’re talking about Alaska,” he told his fellow panelists.

Watters: We’re talking about guys’ asses. Trump says a lot of stuff we all think and we don’t say. Sometimes it sounds a little gay. He can get away with it because he’s straight..

Watters added, “Trump says a lot of stuff we all think, but we don’t say. And sometimes it sounds a little gay. But he can get away with it because he’s straight. Like, we talk about guys’ stuff sometimes.”

He then turned his attention to cohost Greg Gutfeld, quipping, “Greg has no a**. Flat. Just falls off his back.”

“Can he say that?!” Gutfeld responded before taking out his phone and pretending to call HR.

After talking about his assistant’s backside and the way he walks, Watters returned his focus to Husted. “[Trump]’s saying Jon Husted is a phenomenal athlete… an all-American cornerback, national champion and Division III football player. He’s got what it takes.”

He continued, “Now, I always say vote for the better athlete. Who is he running against again? Sherrod Brown cannot play anything. Didn’t play sports in college. He can barely catch a football. You got to go with the guy with the better a**. That’s what I say!”
