In a recent episode of Fox News, host Jesse Watters made a controversial statement that equated his wife's hypothetical secret vote for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris to an act of infidelity.
His comment was met with laughter and disbelief from his fellow panelists.
The discussion was sparked by a recent advertisement from the Harris campaign, as reported by Mediaite. The ad, narrated by actress Julia Roberts, subtly encourages women to exercise their right to vote privately, suggesting they could choose Harris without disclosing their choice to their Republican-voting spouses.
Watters, known for his humorous takes, drew a parallel between his wife Emma DiGiovine's potential secret vote for Harris and an extramarital affair. His relationship with DiGiovine, a former producer on his show, began while he was still married to his first wife, Noelle Inguagiato. This affair led Inguagiato to file for divorce in 2018.
"If I found out Emma was going to the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, thats the same thing as having an affair," Watters stated, causing a stir among the panelists. His comment led to a flurry of responses, with Harold Ford Jr. expressing disbelief and Tyrus interrupting to let Watters finish his thought.
Watters went on to question the trust in their marriage, asking, "What else is she keeping from me? What is she lying about?" His comments were met with laughter and further questions from his co-panelists, with Jeanine Pirro asking why his wife would lie to him.
Watters continued his hypothetical scenario, suggesting that if his wife admitted to lying about her vote for the past four years, it would be a deal-breaker. The segment ended with co-host Dana Perino declaring it over amidst the ensuing commotion. The episode, filled with laughter and heated debate, can be viewed on Fox News.
