WASHINGTON, DC: In recent political discourse, Jesse Watters’ remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris have stirred significant controversy.

During a heated exchange on Fox News, Watters made a provocative comparison between Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, suggesting that Harris's emotional eating habits could affect her appearance and, by extension, her performance in office.

The comment by Jesse Watters came while the Fox News anchor was responding to a question from Jessica Tarlov, who asked him if the current issues Harris' campaign was facing were the largest crisis he had ever seen. Tarlov asked, “Jesse, is this the largest crisis you've ever seen a campaign face?”

Responding with a controversial analogy, Watters said, “This is like Obama’s tan suit. I don’t even know. We should just pre-impeach.” He then delved into a personal critique of Harris’ eating habits, recounting a personal anecdote Harris shared.

“Jessica, she did explain why she likes Doritos. She said after she found out Trump won in 2016, she sat there with a big family-sized bag of Doritos and ate the whole thing. She obviously eats her feelings, and when she experiences anxiety, she puts a lot of food in her mouth.”



 

Watters further expressed concern about Harris' potential future performance as president. He said, “I’m worried if she’s elected commander-in-chief, she’s going to become so anxious, she’s going to end up looking like Walz.”
