Jesse Watters' attempt to lecture Eric Swalwell on Fox News backfires immediately

Fox News host Jesse Watters was buried in mockery on Monday after he made an eye-popping claim about a Democratic lawmaker.

Watters and the panel on "The Five" discussed Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and the sexual assault allegations the lawmaker is facing during Monday's broadcast. Swalwell has been accused by at least four women of sexual misconduct and rape. The lawmaker announced he suspended his campaign for Governor of California on Sunday, and announced his intent to resign from Congress ahead of a vote to expel him on Monday afternoon.

During the discussion, Watters made several claims that caused a stir on social media.

"Also, don't just whip it out," Watters said. "Allegedly, he was just whipping it out in a car, in broad daylight, in front of the intern. That's not the moment you do it! It has to be done in the moment of passion!"

Political analysts and observers reacted to the segment on social media.

"Jesse Watters is something of an expert when it comes to using cars to pursue women," Gabe Sanchez, the host of the "What Was That?" podcast, posted on X. "He literally let the air out of his current wife's tires to get her alone. Worth noting she was his associate producer at the time and he was married to someone else."

"Didn’t Jesse marry his intern?" political commentator Joanne Carducci posted on X.

"Jesse Watters admitting to things he hasn’t been accused of yet," Melanie D'Arrigo, executive director of the Campaign for New York Health, posted on X.
