While the Republican party continues to broaden its definition of conservative by the day, Democrats are experiencing a crisis of identity around the issue of abortion.

Jesse Watters Takes Abrupt Vacation After Lewd Joke About Ivanka

On Wednesday, yet another male Fox host landed himself in hot water when he made a lewd joke about the President’s daughter Ivanka Trump, a major misstep that he appears to be suffering for today. Jesse Watters was attempting to defend Ivanka from the boos of a Berlin crowd at a women’s entrepreneurship conference when he made an unacceptable comment about the first daughter’s handling of the microphone. “So I don’t really get what’s going on here, but I really liked how she was speaking into that microphone.” Watters later said that his comment was in reference to the...
