Fox News star Jesse Watters says wife voting Kamala would be akin to affair
Jesse Watters has criticized an advert encouraging women to hide their votes for the upcoming election, suggesting that going against your partner with your vote would be an affair.
The advertisementproduced by Vote Common Good, a nonprofit focused on mobilizing religious voters and encouraging wives of Donald Trump supporters to quietly vote for Kamala Harris.
Watters criticized the ad on both The Five and his own show Thursday, saying it would be “D-Day” if his second wife, Emma DiGiovine, pulled the lever for Harris.
“If I found out Emma was going to the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s like having an affair,” he said.
Even some of his fellow conservative cast members from The Five laughed at him, the TV host, who himself chuckled when he finished that thought.
Jesse Watters criticized a commercial encouraging women to hide their votes for the upcoming election, suggesting it was like an affair to vote against your partner.
Watters criticized the ad on both The Five and his own show Thursday, saying it would be “D-Day” if his second wife, Emma DiGiovine (pictured right), pulled the lever for Harris.
Yet Watters continued: ‘That violates the sanctity of our marriage. What else is she keeping from me? What is she lying about?
“Why would she do that and vote for Harris? Why would she say she was voting… If I caught her and she said, “I’ve been lying to you for the last four years.”
Jeannine Pirro confronted him: ‘So you would admit that you would intimidate…’
Watters replied: ‘It’s over Emma! That would be D-Day!’
The Fox host married DiGiovine in January 2020 after admitting to having an affair with her that broke up his first marriage to Noelle in 2017.
Academy Award winner Julia Roberts’ ad endorsing Harris has sparked conservative reactions online, with some accusing the company of undermining marital unity and stoking distrust.
“In the only place in America where women still have the right to choose, you can vote any way you want, and no one will ever know,” Roberts says as a woman hesitates before voting for Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Did you make the right choice?” her husband asks later. She replies, “Yes, honey,” insinuating that she voted for Harris.
The ad, produced by Vote Common Good, a nonprofit aimed at mobilizing religious voters, suggests that wives of Trump supporters could quietly vote for Harris.
Roberts concludes, “Remember, what happens in the cabin stays in the cabin. Vote Harris-Walz.”
Critics of the ad accused the organization of encouraging cheating between married couples.
The View’s Ana Navarro has called out Newt Gingrich after he criticized their husbands’ spot for the upcoming US presidential election.
Gingrich, 81, slammed the ad, saying, “How do you govern a country? where you go around saying that’s what women should do lying to their husbands, husbands have to lie to their wives? What a totally amoral, corrupt, the Democrats have a sick system developed?’ while Watters said his wife lying about her vote is “like having an affair.”
After watching clips of both men during Friday’s episode of The View, Navarro, 52, decided to speak up, telling the panel: “It’s almost comical, if it weren’t so serious it would be comical: when people like Newt Gingrich say we shouldn’t go around saying that women should lie to their husbands or that men should lie to their wives… he cheated on his first and second wives.”
With four days until Election Day, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are campaigning again in the swing states, while the race is still close.
According to DailyMail.com’s latest poll of the 2024 campaign, the Republican candidate has a three-point lead over Harris nationwide.
