Jesse Watters, a host on Fox News, has sparked outrage after making a comment about new testosterone testing in the US military that many viewers have deemed ‘absolutely disgusting’.
During a discussion on The Five about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s new requirement for annual testosterone deficiency screenings for military members over 30, Watters attempted to make a joke about servicemen who might opt for testosterone replacement therapy.
Watters warned women to ‘be careful’ around soldiers who might take the therapy, saying they would become ‘wild animals’. His colleagues appeared stunned and speechless in response.
Critics Lash Out at Jesse Watters
Critics on social media have condemned Watters’ comment, with some equating it to an excuse for ‘rape’. One person tweeted, ‘So he’s really going to laugh about possible rape in the military and overseas by servicemen?’ Another person called Watters’ comment ‘an absolutely wild and abhorrent representation of our servicemen and women’.
Watters has previously found himself in trouble for making offensive jokes. Earlier this year, he faced backlash for making light of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking empire.
