Ridiculous to make this an issue. Maybe time to refresh the Democrats about Bill Clinton and the cigar in the Oval office, Anthony Wiener, Donna Brazil, Debbie Wasserman, Hillary Clinton and of course drunk Don lemon who had his ears pierced on life TV while being so drunk and stupid.
And let's not forget the new leader of the Democratic Party who uses the F word and S word in front of a little child and not once. The child face showed how the child was raised and by using these explicits. Perez and the democratic hypocrisy is at an all time topwhile the party is at an all time LOW!
Every time I see someone with a sticker or button "proud Democrat", I have to laugh so hard and wonder what they are proud about. Losing the presidency, losing all the seats, losing their dignity and having people walking around with ***** hats!

If anything, it shows that they have more of a perverted mindset than Waters does. When watching the clip, my mind wasn't even going in that direction at all. It's a bit of a reach.
Plus, even if he did....so what? I also like how they (liberal media) all hate Ivanka Trump, but use her as a tool when it's convenient for them. Geez, these are the same people that attacked her over and over. Ex, Joss Whedon called her a dog. Where was the outrage?
Pretty dumb on his part. Bill got whacked recently, Hannity had some old disproven claims brought up again in an attempt to smash him. Ailes is gone.
Wasn't a bright move on his part. He tried to make a joke and it was just out of line.
Yup. The Murdochs are in a real bind right now. Rupbert wants to buy up the Sky network in Great Britain; he already owns most of the stock, but not enough to own it, and needs a government OK to take it over.
His sons have taken over Fox News after their dad fired Alies, but they kept the 2 underlings that allowed Alies to get away with all his hanky-panky for so long, and between them, O'Reilly and Ailes, the anti-female speech and attitude was allowed to become pervasive.
Guys like Watters may not have been misogynists when they were hired, but Watters and others soon learned that misogyny was a way up the ladder for men at Fox.
Watters is a particularly easy target for the Murdoch brothers because he had a regular spot on O'Reilly's show, and he's a lot more expendable than the upper management is right now.
Rupert's boys have to show that they are turning Fox around, and the harassment that happened far too often to the women who worked there is ending and will no longer be tolerated. It has to happen if Rupert Murdoch ever hopes to own Sky, and he wants Sky very badly now.
So I expect Watters vacation will become as permanent as O'Reilly's. He drew massive heat for the mocking street interviews he did last year from New Yorkers, and what New Yorkers think about Fox matters most to the Murdochs.
They really don't care about the heartland as much as their viewers think, because the Fox money, coming in and going out, is all in New York City, along with the public acceptance they crave the most.
They can find another Jesse Watters in a day there, no problem, who won't be anywhere as much a target of female ire as Watters. Fresh faces are what Fox needs right now the most of all.
It's no worse (or even close, really) to the things Ivanka's own father has said about her. So I think it's strange we should hold some dude on Fox to a higher standard than Americans have chosen to hold the President of the United States of America.
Uh, no.
The Puritans were as misogynists to the core. Remember they hanged witches?
I have no dog in this hunt. I cut my cable in 2005, never went back, and haven't watched Fox in years except when it's turned on in some office where I'm waiting.
All I know is when it comes to money vs. personnel in the news biz, money wins every time.
The Murdochs don't want to lose Fox' income, and the only way to keep the income stream flowing is to change the present situation.
Watters is only a plug-in module. A replacement is only a couple of phone calls away, and that guy will be as funny to women as to men.
So its okay to sexually harass someone just because they are famous?
Do you consider it sexual harassment?
Would it upset you if he called your child stupid?
