Eww, I saw them play the clip on Majority Report, of him telling that story... I didn't know he was talking about meeting his current wife while he was already fucking married!
And while some may claim that “both sides are doing this”, the message coming from Democrats versus Republicans shows a stark difference. One is a political violence threat, the other is a reassurance that abusive husbands like Jesse Watters won’t know who you actually voted for.
Yeah. I did about fifty hand written postcards to people in a battleground state with that "who you voted for is secret" message. I didn't add a binoculars drawing to it.
At the close of the segment, Watters offered his own humorous take, speaking about his wife Emma DiGiovine, a relationship which he admitted in 2018 began as an affair while he was married to his first wife Noelle Inguagiato and DiGiovine was a producer on his show. The affair prompted Inguagiato to file for divorce.
“It’s not the party of virtue, security — it’s not the party of strength — it’s definitely not the party of family. And to be a man and then vote for a woman just because she’s a woman is either childish — that person has mommy issues — or they are just trying to be accepted by other women,” Watters said. “I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”
To their credit, Watters’ three female co-hosts on The Five made their displeasure with his statements known, only to be shut down by former wrestler and alleged sexual harasser Tyrus.
“He quoted a scientist,” Tyrus interjected.
I know we're not supposed to patronize or insult the poor fascists, but good lord the right wing is stupid.
Wiki: mixed - There is some consensus that Mediaite is only marginally reliable, and should be avoided where better sources are available. Editors consider the source to inappropriately blur news and opinion, and due weight should be considered if no other reliable sources support a given statement.
