The masculinity-obsessed and virulently anti-LGBTQ+ Fox News host Jesse Watters bent over backward in a recent segment to explain why it’s not gay for Donald Trump to fawn over other men’s bodies.
Watters was referring to comments the president made about Sen. Jon Husted’s (R-OH) body at a campaign stop in Youngstown, Ohio. Trump praised the Senator’s buttocks, jawline, hands, and overall athleticism.

Watters – who has gone on numerous rants about how it’s not manly to eat ice cream or use a straw – said that Trump can “get away with sounding ‘a little gay’” but only “because he’s straight.”
Watters then claimed it was just normal guy talk, and added, “I saw John Thune one time in a locker room. The guy looks like an Olympic swimmer. This is what guys say.”
Of course, it should be perfectly acceptable for a guy to compliment another guy’s body, but, in this case, it highlights Watters’ hypocrisy, considering he is known for accusing male Democrats of being gay or effeminate for doing simple things like waving and crossing their legs. It’s not hard to imagine what he’d say if a straight male Democrat complimented another man’s a** during a rally.
