Fox News host Jesse Watters announced late Wednesday that he is taking an abrupt vacation from “The Five” following backlash over sexually charged remarks about first daughter Ivanka Trump.
"I'm going to be taking a vacation with my family, so I'm not going to be here tomorrow,” Watters said during his show, according to reports. "I'll be back on Monday, so don't miss me too much.”

"It’s funny. The left says they really respect women and then when given an opportunity to respect a woman like that they boo and hiss … so I don’t really get what’s going on here, but I really liked how she was speaking into that microphone,”

What did he say that was so bad?................
Why am I not surprised?
Locker room talk does not play well on TV.
Apparently it was the hand gesture coupled with the words that got him in trouble.
I don’t like that show anyways.............
His “crime”: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2017/04/27/fox-news-jesse-watters-ivanka-trump/100959898/
It was very subtle, but it was there. He was being way too much of a smart-ass.
He said he liked the way Ivanka was speaking into her microphone.
I saw that, it was not sexual innuendo.
“What did he say that was so bad?................”
There’s a picture at the article that captured his view, and the article mentions his hand gesture.
He’s getting a day off for this because Big Media’s recent agenda has been to promote how allegedly opposite Ivanka’s preferences are from her dad’s, so she isn’t to be slammed like that — for now.
So he’s going to miss three work days (today, tomorrow and his own show on Saturday). That doesn’t sound like much of a punishment.
Is it a freaking requirement that Fox News anchors sexually harass others?
Then take a vacation?
Sheesh!
I am definitely against locker room talk on TV, but I am also against the disgusting flashing done by Guilfoyle and other women on FAUX News.
All by itself it wasn’t so bad, but his hand gesture makes itr obscene.................
Apologies, it’s an embedded video with a photo upon which he is commenting.
Surprised at the innocence here.
Sounds to me like another fake news manufactured controversy.
How come CNN / MSNBC anchors never get in trouble for anything?
The mind-reading around here amazes me.
Isn’t he somehow related to BOR? I thought I had read/heard they were related.
I guess those who lean conservative are getting the ax one by one.
