During Thursday night's episode of Fox News "The Five," Watters discussed the possibility of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) one day running for president.
"With age comes wisdom and shes pretty young. Thats my nice way of saying shes not very smart," Watters told his "The Five" co-hosts. "You know when you like pick a banana and the bananas in your hand and its green and then even if you try to peel it, its still not even peeling? Thats AOC. Shes not ripe enough to run for president."
**************************
While I certainly think wisdom and experience are important qualities for every leader... I don't know why marital or parental status has anything to do with anything. I mean, our last president was married multiple times and has a bunch of kids... certainly had nothing to do w/ his wisdom or experience level.
And as far as the age thing goes... you don't see Fox News hosts praising the wisdom and experience of our current President.

(54,447 posts)Its up to them how to get there.
Age equals wisdom if its a Republican, age equals dementia if its a Democrat.
Youth equals inexperienced and lacking intelligence if its a Democrat. Youth equals brimming with energy and ideas if its a Republican (or Kim Jong Un).

Only Fox (and especially Watters) could take a simple fact and somehow turn it into mysogeny.
