The idea that women might vote differently from their husbands made Fox News star Jesse Watters’ brain melt live on air this week.
Referring to his current wife, Watters, with his trademark smirk, told his colleagues on The Five, “If I found out Emma was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an aff@1r.” This, from a man who admitted to his employer in 2017 that he was in a relati0nship with a c0lleague 14 y3ars his juni0r—something that reportedly led to his divorce from his first wife. “What else is she keeping from me?” Jesse mused, prompting guffaws from his fellow panelists.
Beyond hypocrisy, Mother Jones creator Kat Abughazaleh argues that Watters’ reaction reveals the fierce undercurrent of s3xist r3sentment coursing through this year’s campaign, typified by Donald Trump, who just this week ominously vowed to protect women, “wh3ther the w0men l1ke it or n0t.”Dear Jesse Watters: Why would your wife be afraid to tell you what she really thinks?
It’s an issue that Democrats and their anti-Trump allies have been eager to highlight, including former congresswoman and top Harris campaigner Liz Cheney, who told CBS’ Face the Nation on Wednesday, “I think you’re going to have, frankly, a lot of men and women who will go into the voting booth and will vote their conscience, will vote for Vice President Harris.”
“They may not ever say anything publicly,” she added, “but the results will speak for themselves.”
Michelle Obama also seized on this dynamic. “Just remember that your vote is a private matter,” she told a Michigan rally last weekend.
Soon, that private decision could have very public ramifications—for the entire country.
