Some of you may have heard that Bill O’Reilly was fired from Fox News last week, following the departure of Megyn Kelly earlier this year. It’s created some flux in the primetime schedule, which has necessitated that Fox move The Five — a The View like panel show with 5 conservatives and a “liberal,” Bob Becker, who once said that “Chinamen” were the biggest threat to the United States — into the 9 p.m. slot. To further goose ratings, they have also added Fox News resident scumbag Jesse Watters into the center chair. Some may remember Watters for his blatant, racist mockery of Asians, or the time he harassed and ambushed a reporter while she was on vacation.
You may also remember him in future months for making a blow job joke at Ivanka Trump’s expense on a network currently facing a rash of lawsuits for sexual harassment and for running the network like a “plantation.”
Here he is commenting on the way that Ivanka holds her microphone, after criticizing the left for only “pretending” to care about women’s issues.

The timing of that is interesting.
So on same day Fox News mandates sensitivity training, Jesse Watters oddly praises Ivanka Trump's technique w mic. pic.twitter.com/rhGlbMZtL6

Jesse Watters making a thinly veiled remark about how Ivanka holds a microphone is sure to help FOXNews' PR department on sexual harassment.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Jesse Watters was in a frat and at some point peed into a puddle and forced a freshman pledge to roll in it

Me too, Simon. Me too. Watters is the guy who takes fraternity pledges to a goat farm, hands them a box of condoms, and walks away without explanation.
Anyway, Watters denies he made the joke we think he made, asserting that he was only referring to the smooth Jazz stylings of Ivanka’s voice.
Here's @jessebwatters explanation as to why he was complimenting the way Ivanka Trump was "speaking into that microphone." pic.twitter.com/wxtFj2h1iJ

Sure, Watters. Sure.
