New Fox News “The Five” panelist, Jesse Watters, was blasted on social media after comments he made regarding President Donald Trump‘s daughter, Ivanka Trump. During his second appearance in the show’s new timeslot, Watters made the comments while referring to Ivanka’s recent trip to the W20 Summit for women’s empowerment in Berlin.
Watters, 38, took to Twitter on Wednesday to defend himself after being accused of making a sexual innuendo over the way Ivanka handled a microphone during a rap session at the W20 summit.

On Tuesday, the president’s daughter was jeered for her comments claiming her dad “has been a tremendous champion of supporting families and enabling them to thrive.”
During the segment, Watters pointed out the left’s blatant disrespect of President Trump and Europeans for turning the panel into “a soccer match.” He then added, “So I don’t really know what’s going on here, but I really liked how she was speaking into that microphone.”
Many folks on social media took the ambiguous remark to be a sexual innuendo.
“On air I was referring to Ivanka’s voice and how it resonates like a smooth jazz radio DJ,” Watters said on Wednesday. “This was in no way a joke about anything else.”
According to reports, Watters has a net worth of $1 million.
