Jesse Watters Defends ‘Toxic Masculinity’ — And Has Notes For His Own Liberal Parents

Jesse Watters lightheartedly cited his mother and father not letting him play with G.I. Joe toys as the explanation he turned a conservative information character in an section on “poisonous masculinity” that devolved into bashing Latin music artist Unhealthy Bunny.

It began when Watters mocked a recent “60 Minutes” interview with Dana White, UFC CEO and pal of President Donald Trump.

“People like watching males be males, aggressive, powerful and violent, however ’60 Minutes’ thinks generally males are a bit of too masculine,” the information anchor stated Monday on “Jesse Watters Prime Time.”

Within the CBS clip, White stated his group is “unapologetically masculine,” and was then requested about “poisonous masculinity.”

After Watters introduced up the clip, his visitor, “Fox Throughout America” host Jimmy Failla, declared that “poisonous masculinity” is a time period “Democrats invented to promote us on the thought of supporting the kind of guys they nominate.”

(The time period toxic masculinity was really coined by a males’s motion within the Eighties and ’90’s in response to second-wave feminism.)

He then accused Democrats of “going in opposition to the manufacturing unit setting of just about each little boy on the market who needed to develop up and be the one that was capable of step in.”

That’s when Watters took a visit down reminiscence lane.

“Jimmy, it backfires, as a result of my liberal mother and father wouldn’t let me play with G.I. Joe, and what I did? I turned a Fox host,” Watters stated in a joking tone. “You’ll be able to’t battle it.”

Watters shifted the dialog to in style Latin artist Bad Bunny, who introduced this week he could be headlining subsequent yr’s Super Bowl halftime show. Failla famous the conservative backlash the announcement generated, then attacked the artist.

“Don’t be mad that we now have a cross-dresser who doesn’t communicate English doing the halftime present, as a result of if Kamala gained, he would have been a Cupboard member,” Failla stated.

Unhealthy Bunny, who was born in Puerto Rico and is a U.S. citizen, does actually communicate English. He has carried out so in a number of interviews, in addition to in Adam Sandler’s movie “Happy Gilmore 2,” launched this yr.

“And that’s my recommendation to my conservatives which can be flipping out. It’s like, if we are able to get by way of a president who didn’t communicate English for 4 years, we are able to get by way of a halftime present,” he continued.

Failla argued that “the Tremendous Bowl is a monument to America,” and the NFL took the game and turned it into “the epicenter of popular culture for the yr.”

“So, sure, in a great world, the celebrities would communicate English, OK? And that’s the place it’s an issue,” Failla stated. “The sport is in San Francisco. They need to have a San Francisco act.”
