Jesse Watters on Models Trump is Accused of Sexually Harassing: ‘He Gave Those Women a Lot of Opportunities!’

Fox News host Jesse Watters dismissed allegations of sexual harassment against President Donald Trump on Tuesday night, claiming the former reality TV star helped his accusers’ careers and that he “cherishes women.”

In a Fox News segment, Sean Hannity first condemned former President Bill Clinton for failing to apologize to Monica Lewinsky for his inappropriate sexual involvement with her, a point that liberal guest Jessica Tarlov agreed with. saying, “I think he absolutely should have apologized to her. I think that Hillary Clinton should also have said it was a mistake, and it was an abuse of power, that’s fundamental to the #MeToo movement.”

“She never got the apology and let’s remember Hillary ran that war room — where they fought those bimbo eruptions, and that’s a so-called bimbo eruptions, that’s not even my language. They called her a floozy, a psycho, a grifter and a clinger,” Watters replied. “So, the #MeToo movement has totally boomeranged on the Clintons and they should own up to it.”

Tarlov then told the two pro-Trump pundits that “maybe Donald Trump could also apologize to all the women he has taken advantage.”

“What do you, mean Miss USA?! You gave those women a lot of opportunities Jessica, come on!” Watters said — referencing the women who accused Trump of inappropriate behavior, including spying on women while they were changing in dressing rooms, while they participated in the beauty contest previously owned by him.

1. Women like this

are the reason Trump is in office

[Demwolv]

2. She's not wrong...

Bill SHOULD have apologized.

Hillary shouldn't be trying to act like nothing happened. They both had a chance in the metoo era to say hey, in hindsight I now understand why Bill having an affair with an intern is an abuse of power. I'm sorry to Ms. Lewinsky and everyone could hopefully move on.

At least this woman called out Trump too. Sexual assault and harassment isn't a partisan issue.

[flibbitygiblets]

3. I think the larger point is... why is she talking about this now?

Dems just kicked R ass. R's throw out Lewinsky as red meat distraction. Can we not take the bait for once?

[Demwolv]

4. To be fair

It IS Fox News. Can't expect too much haha. They will ALWAYS deflect to the Clintons lets be fair.

It was just refreshing to me to see her also call out Trump for his behavior on that network instead of sticking on the "BUT THE CLINTONS!!!" deflection that we see too often.

5. Sorry, but Hillary was the injured party here. She doesn't have to deal with this crap.

[Demwolv]

7. Just because we like her

doesn't mean we get to give someone a free pass.

I'm not saying that Hillary should be paying for Bill's sins, but Hillary went on to run for president. Lewinsky will forever be known as the woman who gave Bill a blow job. I love Hillary. I have since I was a kid. I think she is brilliant and deserves the world, but Lewinsky is an "injured party" and deserves an apology. Not saying it has to come from Hillary, but there was and still is a good opportunity to say what happened wasn't right. Even if it was consensual, I now understand what abuse of power means. Period. I think a lot of people would respect that as an answer and would be able to move on and drop it.

I will keep reiterating until my face turns blue: Sexual assault and harassment is not a partisan issue.

8. Hillary suffered too, due to Bill's infidelity, and it contributed to what happened in 2016. Say

what you want about Bill's culpability, but let Hillary out of it. She has suffered enough.

[sarah FAILIN]

12. Have you read Monica's letters?

I had zero sympathy for her once I did.

[whathehell]

16. Monica Lewinsky was NOT sexually assaulted, nor was she sexually "harrassed".

She was a young adult who willingly engaged in a consensual affair. Period, end of story.

[whathehell]

18. "Abuse of power"? Monica was not even EMPLOYED at the Whitehouse

She was an unpaid intern. She could have left at any time.

[whathehell]

10. Totally agree, OnDoubtside

I think this entire enterprise is an attempt at "Both-side-ism
for the purpose of minimizing the tawdry actions of Trump & the Republicans.

[OnDoutside]

14. Definitely true, and after years of feeding that narrative, some can't think for themselves on

this.

[whathehell]

17. Some are barely old enough to remember it..

I, on the other hand, was well into adulthood, and will not abide these attempts at "revisionist history".

[OnDoutside]

19. 100% agree.

[whathehell]

9. "Bill should have apologized"? For what?

What part of "Monica Lewinsky was a 21 year old willing adult" do people not understand?

Monica, in addition, was not a naive, sheltered, 21 year old..
There is ample evidence of her arriving at the Whitehouse with the intention of pursuing him. Prior to her Whitehouse internship, she was quoted as joking about "needing her presidential knee pads"

I felt sorry for Monica at the time, but it seems she's now trying for an illegitimate ride on the "MeToo" bandwagon, when the circumstances surrounding those woman -- as employees, and prospective employees -
were substantially different.

I'm addition, I fail to see what blame Hillary should hold for
her errant husband's behavior.

13. he did apologize. more than once.

what's your point?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

6. Says the guy who probably carries roofies wherever he goes, you know, just in case. nt

[Hassin Bin Sober]

11. Hillary never called these accusing women "bimbo eruptions or floozies or clingers" that's bullshit

[whathehell]

15. No, she didn't..

I don't know where that bullshit started.
