Kerstin Emhoff, the ex-wife of second gentleman Douglas Emhoff, immediately came to the vice president’s defense.
At the time, his cohosts offered no rebuttal.
He said, “We don’t know who she is.
We don’t know what she believes.
She’s going to get paralyzed in the situation room while the generals have their way with her.”
Take it back."
He doubled down, repeating, “Have their way with her.”
Then, further clarifying, “Control her.”
“Not in a sexual way,” he said with a smile.
The 23-second clip instantly sparked backlash.
On Twitter (now known as X), one user commented, “This is straight-up misogyny.
There’s no other angle here.
It’s so fucked.”

@JesseBWatters: Your rape joke about Kamala Harris was absolutely intentional and sexual in nature.
And you are truly one of the most vile and disgusting people on television.
Jesse Waters should be fired for this.
Even the two women on this panel were appalled.
