Watters also commented on Walz’s handshake with his wife, which he felt was unusual. "Men should not move this way, it’s not the way we move," Watters said, adding, “This is Walz and his wife shaking hands like business associates, followed by a weird hug.

Fox News contributor Joe Concha agreed with Jesse Watters, stating, “Some might call this weird. That’s the only adjective that comes to mind right now.”

Watters responded, “And the hug is not the way you hug your wife. You hug your wife from the body, you don’t hug her like this.”

Concha further described the hug as “very sumo wrestling-like almost, right?”
