Too funny.Fox News Personality Jesse Watters Announces A Surprise ‘Vacation’ After His Lewd Ivanka Joke
The host is taking a break after making a seemingly crude sexual joke while talking about respecting women.
Fox News host Jesse Watters is taking a break from primetime just a week after being promoted to a permanent spot on “The Five.”
Watters announced the brief family vacation on Wednesday’s episode of “The Five” after facing a torrent of criticism earlier in the day for appearing to make an oral sex joke about Ivanka Trump.
“I’m going to be taking a vacation with my family, so I’m not going to be here tomorrow,” he said, according to Business Insider. “I’ll be back on Monday, so don’t miss me too much.”
On Tuesday’s show, Watters commented on Trump’s speech at a women’s conference in Germany, where she was booed for calling her father, President Donald Trump, a “tremendous champion” for families.
Watters criticized attendees for booing rather than respecting women, then made the seemingly crude comment.
“So I don’t really get what’s going on here, but, uh, I really liked how she was speaking into the microphone,” he said, making a gesture that seemed to mimic a hand job.
Watters said later that he was complimenting Trump’s voice and denied that there was any innuendo in his comment.
He nabbed the cohosting gig on “The Five” after Bill O’Reilly lost his job hosting “The O’Reilly Factor” last week.

News anchor suing Fox: 'Enough is enough' on racism.
A Fox News anchor suing the network says he hopes that his lawsuit encourages Americans to end racism.
"This racial divide that's going on - we can talk about Fox News, but it's happening everywhere," Kelly Wright said Thursday on "CBS This Morning." "And we as Americans have got to start standing up and saying enough is enough.
"I hope that the 'R word,' racism, becomes like the 'N word' and never used in our vocabulary ever again."
Reports emerged Tuesday that Wright had joined a lawsuit against Fox News alleging racial discrimination and harassment by the employer.
