Fox News host Jesse Watters recently found himself making an argument on his show that sounded very much like the one many liberals and progressives have used to defend abortion rights.
Watters’ remarks came in his effort to defend Robert Kennedy’s anti-vaxx views in his programme The Five on the conservative news network on Thursday.
“It’s actually kind of weird that you’re so upset about what one Democrat thinks about vaccines,” Watters said, the volume of his voice rising.
As he concluded his statement on Mr Kennedy, Watters’ co-host Jessica Tarlov said he was “advocating for Roe”.
During the debate about Mr Kennedy’s position on The Five, Tarlov asked Watters whether his children were vaccinated.
Watters, formerly a morning show contributor, was elevated to the coveted primetime role following Carlson’s departure from Fox News earlier this year.
“Perhaps you could suggest that your people take less interest, for example, in other peoples’ bodies, and talk about that,” she said. »
