Death and Taxes
Fox News personality and former O’Reilly Factor correspondent Jesse Watters is being raked over the coals after a comment he made while co-hosting the panel show “The Five.” The panel was discussing Ivanka Trump getting booed at the W20 Summit in Berlin, when Watters said what many believed to be a joke about Ivanka giving a slob job.

“It’s funny the left says they really respect women and then when given the opportunity to respect a woman they boo and hiss,” Watters said. “I don’t really get what’s going on here, but, uh, I really liked how she was speaking into that microphone.”
BJ joke or not, it was a weird statement. Here is Jesse’s assessment of his comment.
On air I was referring to Ivanka's voice and how it resonates like a smooth jazz radio DJ. This was in no way a joke about anything else.

Jesse, the ‘smooth jazz radio DJ’ alibi works exactly 0 out of 10 times. As you can imagine, Twitter blew him (up).

Bullshit. Nobody likes smooth jazz.

He actually thinks that we're all actually dumb enough to believe this. pic.twitter.com/ca1xKFkytj

Weather the storm, Jesse. Everyone will forget about it tomorrow. But a word of advice: if you’re going to be a creep, may want to do it at home with a moist towelette.
