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.
His abrupt departure comes just three days into the new prime-time slot for his show.
During a segment on Tuesday night, Watters remarked on the way that Trump held a microphone while she discussed womens rights at a panel in Germany.
Its 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 dont really get whats going on here, but I really liked how she was speaking into that microphone, Watters said.
Watters gestured with his hand toward his mouth as he made the remark and then grinned at his co-hosts.

He really screwed the pooch on that one.I agree he owes her an apology publicly.

BS!
Her behavior is childish, and ill-fitting a person representing the chief executive of the nation.
The zingers are fitting, and she should pay attention to constructive criticism, however it may be delivered.
He should know Fox will never have his back. He may never be back if a sponsor boycott occurs.
“Her behavior is childish, and ill-fitting a person representing the chief executive of the nation.”
Both she and here husband need to move back to NYC and go about the business or raising their children. Neither is helpful to the President.
” He may never be back if a sponsor boycott occurs.”

No boycott will occur——he “insulted” a Trump.

Agree.
Agree.
Agree.
I agree with this. The Kushners should go back to New York, raise their kids, make piles of money and be happy. The White House is not the place for them. They’re smart, so I’m hoping they’ll figure that out.
Agree. I have never understood the inserting of the Kushners into the White House. Frankly, Ivanka looked silly in the way she held the mic and I think that is what Jesse was alluding to. would rather see and hear more from the First Lady, Melania than I would Ivanka.
It sounds like he forgot himself and forgot he was on live TV while in that casual speaking situation.
They probably joke like that off air all the time but on that network, especially now, it’s a foolish thing to do.
I don’t imagine Jesse is too happy his mentor, BOR, has been kicked to the curb either.
I’ve just googled four pages deep on ivanka trump childish and still haven’t found anything.
Care to share?
Insulted a Trump like 4 of the 5 do every day?
I like him, watch his show and read his Tweets (which are hilarious). He’s always kept it clean, made jokes that aren’t intended to offend and I call BS on this whole thing. He’s getting a day or two of sun and no big deal. FNC is hyper sensitive just now, and overreacted.
I like Watters but, what a goofball move.
That time slot should be his alone and FOX knows it.
Watters knows it, he is probably a little bit bent about it.
I think FOX is playing a game with The Five.
He needs to maintain and stand out but not like this.
Watters may stay on vacation, The Five is dead, ok at 5 but not prime time, it’s boring.
Here’s some constructive criticism for you: You are a dick.
Oh for heavens sake, I saw that and didn’t think he meant anything about it. Anyone who was offended by it has a dirty mind and we’re probably projecting their own thoughts onto Watters
