Jesse Watters: 'I Need To Know If Someone Is Gay'
HuffPost
In a discussion about celebrities on "The Five," the Fox News host got sidetracked into a curious rant about sexual orientation.
Fox News host Jesse Watters told his fellow panelists on “The Five” Thursday that he needs to know if someone is gay because he is “soooo interested.” (Watch the video below.)
The riff produced cackles from cohost Greg Gutfeld, and a “What is wrong with you?” from cohost Jeanine Pirro. Watters’ remark came about while the panelists were discussing whether celebrities feel pressure to publicly pick a side in the 2024 election after Taylor Swift endorsed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
Many of the panelists seemed to approve of Usher not bashing Donald Trump when Joy Behar of “The View” seemingly encouraged him to do so after he confirmed he was voting for Harris.
“The Five” cohost Dana Perino explained that she had a policy of “Don’t ask, don’t tell” when it comes to people’s political leanings, a reference to the law that silenced LGBTQ+ service members in the U.S. military.
“I don’t care who you’re voting for,” she said.
