Summary:

Amid rising early voting numbers from women in battleground states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania—where they make up 55% of ballots cast—some conservative voices are panicking. Right-wing commentators are sounding the alarm, fearing that even MAGA-supporting husbands’ wives might be casting secret ballots for Kamala Harris.

Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, has put it starkly: “If men stay at home, Kamala is president. It’s that simple.” Jesse Watters of Fox News has even equated a wife secretly voting for Harris to “having an affair.”

    Jesse Watters of Fox News has even equated a wife secretly voting for Harris to “having an affair.”

    something that this article didn’t mention is that jesse walters’ current marriage started as an affair: he started dating his current wife while he was married to his previous wife. (source)

    yet another example of every accusation being a confession.

      Missing little nugget on this. His current wife, ex mistress, was a producer in his show. Copy/pasted from Wikipedia: “Noelle filed for divorce in 2018 after Watters admitted to an affair with a producer on his show, Emma DiGiovine. Watters claimed to have begun dating DiGiovine by letting the air out of her vehicle’s tires so she would ask him for a ride.”

      Funking all caps CREEP.

        it’s (somehow) even creepier when you hear how he describes it:

        “When I was trying to get [my wife Emma] to date me, first thing I did, uh, I let the air out of her tires,” Watters claimed, pleased with himself. “She couldn’t go anywhere, she needed a lift. I said, ‘Hey, you need a lift?’ She hopped right in the car.” (source)
