Fox News’ Jesse Watters Sparks Outrage with ‘Eye Candy’ Comment About Female Trump Staffers

Fox News host Jesse Watters is once again facing backlash after making a highly suggestive remark about female members of Donald Trump’s Cabinet during a segment on The Five.

The controversial host, known for his inflammatory rhetoric, shocked viewers when he suggested that he and fellow male colleagues deserved to see “some eye candy” from Trump’s female appointees—just as a viral video of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. working out shirtless was making the rounds online.

Fox News host Jesse Watters is facing backlash for saying he wanted to see some 'eye candy' from Trump's women Cabinet nominees in segment where he was discussing Robert Kennedy Jr.'s shirtless workout video the HHS nominee posted online

During the discussion, Watters expressed frustration over what he saw as an unfair visual imbalance.

“I just think it’s unfair that you guys get to see this, and we don’t get to see any female members of the Cabinet,” Watters quipped, referring to Kennedy’s viral workout clip.

Doubling down on the comment, he added:

“I’d like to see maybe Linda McMahon doing yoga… Tulsi surfing? I don’t know. Can I see something? It’s not fair, Jessica. It’s just not fair. Charlie and I need to see some eye candy too.”

His offhand remark drew an immediate reaction from fellow co-host Jessica Tarlov, who was audibly uncomfortable, responding with a simple but telling “Yikes.”

The remark quickly went viral, with social media users slamming Watters for what they called “blatant misogyny.”

The conservative Fox News host also suggested he wanted to see Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's DNI pick, surfing after Robert Kennedy Jr. posted workout video

“Absolutely gross,” one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote.

“Misogyny front and center. Not surprising from him,” another added.

A third commenter joked, “His mom isn’t going to invite him to Christmas dinner after this one.”

The controversy erupted just as Kennedy’s own video—featuring the 70-year-old nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services lifting weights shirtless in jeans—was making headlines. While some viewers admired his physique, others questioned the bizarre choice to post the clip online.

Despite the uproar, Fox News has yet to comment on Watters’ remarks. Meanwhile, the segment has reignited discussions about sexism in political and media circles, leaving many to wonder if the host will face any consequences for his latest on-air blunder.
