Critics Shake Off Jesse Watters' Absolutely Absurd Take On Tim Walz's 'Masculinity'
Fox News’ Jesse Watters dismissed Tim Walz’s “masculinity” by pointing to the Minnesota governor drinking milkshakes on the campaign trail Wednesday.
The “Five” co-host offered his evaluation of Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate after fellow co-host Jeanine Pirro mentioned a column in Salon describing Walz as “driving MAGA men nuts” for being “living proof that their tormented masculinity is yesterday’s news.”
“Women love masculinity and women do not love Tim Walz so that should just tell you about how masculine Tim Walz is,” Watters claimed.
He continued, “The other day you saw him with a vanilla ice cream shake. Had a straw in it. Again, that tells you everything.”
Watters was seemingly referring to Walz’s drink of choice during a stop at the Minnesota State Fair over the weekend although it appeared the shake in question might have had a spoon in it, not a straw. Last week, Walz consumed a shake alongside North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and largely used a spoon.

Watters similarly attacked President Joe Biden for drinking a milkshake last year and declared that using a straw was “for women and little kids.”
Critics mocked Watters — who once shared a photo with a McDonald’s meal showing a drink with a straw in it back in 2016 — over his take and pointed to a 2010 snap of former President Donald Trump drinking a vanilla shake with a straw.
