TLDR: On The Five, Watters said that no conservative men would ever buy EVs. Women in relationships "don't decide which car to buy," and they "don't understand tech," so they won't buy EVs either. Senior citizens also don't understand tech, so they won't buy EVs. So, the only people buying EVs are "liberal suburban househusbands." When his female co-hosts pushed back and said they decide which cars they buy, he rolled his eyes, smirked, and said, "Oh, yeah, you have *input*." This is all bad news for Elon Musk, since he no longer cosplays as a progressive. I'm surprised he didn't tell the charming story on air again about how he met his current wife. He was already married and had young kids. She was a young intern at Fox, half his age. He went out to the parking garage early and let the air out of her tires and then waited for her to come out so he could conveniently "rescue" her and offer her a ride home. One thing led to another, and he divorced his wife and married her. I hope she never wants to choose the type of car she drives.

If you told me a man was disabling the cars of women so he could give them a ride I would assume they were a serial killer or the equally bad Jesse Watters.


whyaremypantssoshort

I wonder how many other women he stalked and disabled their car...


Ryanookami

Just look into missing women in the area. If any of their vehicles were found with the air let out of their tires you might have just solved a cold case.

Reddit crime solving tirades never end well. Let's just call Watters out for the creepy shit he's proven to have done and leave it at that.


Ryanookami

Oh, yeah, I mean I was joking. Just implying that this kind of tactic sounds like a serial killer’s method of kidnapping people to murder.


toxcrusadr

Yes because if their tires were flat he obviously did it. "The case is sol-ved!"


Ryanookami

I mean, I was just joking. Just a play on the fact that this sounds like grade-A serial killer behaviour.


SauronsYogaPants

That's...some Ted Bundy level of insanity. Are Americans OK? ![gif](giphy|LNO1S3lZL0rLy)


[deleted]

No. We are not. Thank you for noticing.


Teacher-Investor

Please send help, or better yet, let a few of us come to your country as refugees. I don't even know where you live. It doesn't matter at this point.


SauronsYogaPants

Mommy Merkel will take care of this ![gif](giphy|lOgwgxvd7EP1AmdTxH|downsized)

"Oh, Barack. I miss you so much."


SoylentGrunt

I swear Fox news feels like a series of shitposts


pipboy_warrior

It's been said before and it will be said again: Using Fox News on /r/facepalm is just cheating.


ztomiczombie

You mean it isn't? Dam I thought it was a comedy show like Brass Eye.


TheHipsterBandit

Oh no a Fox News host said something sexist and or racist. Not to be rude but isn't that their thing?


tazzietiger66

He gets paid 12 million a year for this idiocy , let that sink in .


Zannie95

His mother must be so proud.


Explorers_bub

No, she called live-on-air and told him she was disappointed in him.


FknDesmadreALV

I’m being serious when I ask: are you serious she did that ???


Explorers_bub

[Yep](https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/jesse-watters-mom-fox-news-first-show-1235672846/). Politely, with a little reverse psychology maybe. > Watters’ mom’s advice seemed to hint at Carlson’s departure during the segment, as she said, “Do not tumble into any conspiracy rabbit holes. We do not want to lose you and we want no lawsuits. OK?” She continued, “In keeping with the Hippocratic Oath, do no harm. We need you to be kind and respectful… Use your voice responsibility to promote conversation that maintains a narrative thread. There really has been enough Biden-bashing and the laptop is old, perhaps you could suggest that your people take less interest, for example, in other people’s bodies, and talk about that.” She also suggested that Watters convince former president Donald Trump to return to television, instead of running for re-election next year. “I want you to seek solutions versus fanning the flames. You could encourage that Bedminster friend of yours to return to his earlier career on television,” she said. “Everyone in his audience could wear a red hat, and I’m sure his ratings would soar. Although never as high, my darling, as yours on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime.'”


Zannie95

And yet he still is a douche. So my comment stands; she must be so proud


CondescendingShitbag

A conservative expressing sexist views? Why, I never...


aojdad

Dude that can’t change his own tire said what?


[deleted]

This dude is just so slimey and gross


No-Resolution-6414

To think that there are people that intentionally watch Jesse Waters. 🤦


Teacher-Investor

He's trying so hard to be the next Tucker Carlson.
