Jesse Watters: 'I Need To Know If Someone Is Gay'
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Fox News host Jesse Watters told his fellow panelists on “The Five” Thursday that he needs to know if someone is gay because he is “soooo interested.” The riff produced cackles from cohost Greg Gutfeld, and a “What is wrong with you?” from cohost Jeanine Pirro. Watters’ remark came about while the panelists were discussing whether celebrities feel pressure to publicly pick a side in the 2024 election after Taylor Swift endorsed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. “The Five” cohost Dana Perino explained that she had a policy of “Don’t ask, don’t tell” when it comes to people’s political leanings, a reference to the law that silenced LGBTQ+ service members in the U.S. military. Gutfeld playfully called Watters nosy and Perino chimed in, “Why do you need to know?” “I’m soooo interested in it,” Watters replied.
