And then El-Sayed asked Watters if he was circumcised, LMAO

Asking one of the most insecure men on tv about his dick

BOSS MOVE

Edit: sorry, here’s the link

the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, has raised eyebrows after asking Fox News’ Jesse Watters if he is circumcised during a combative prime-time interview.

Man fuck right off, that wasn't at all a weird question to ask in response to a fucking weird obsession Jesse has with children's "dingilings"

[-] eurodyne@piefed.world 77 points 3 days ago

Jesse Watters is the one who brought it up, after all.

El-Sayed (a medical doctor, by the way) only responded in kind, and Watters - having brought it up as some kind of battle mark, some line that should never be crossed - immediately reversed course at brakeneck speed and attempted to dismiss it as if it were nothing, framing El-Sayed as an absurdist for even mentioning the subject that Watters himself raised in feigned outrage, despite El-Sayed’s repeated warnings that Watters would regret addressing the subject

If you ever believed that the manipulation stream media was on the right side of history. Then this whole interview plus the one Welker did with Angie Nixon should tell you that they never were.

These companies act like assholes to Progressives and DSA while throwing cotton candy at Pedophiles and Rapists.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

But...it is on the right side...

[-] Dave 1 points 21 hours ago

You could say they are on the far-right side of history 🙃

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world -2 points 2 days ago

....and this article agrees with you. Wh....why are you telling them to fuck off........?

[-] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

On the surface the article comes off as rather neutral in tone but the headline, the line about "raising eyebrows", and really just the existence of this article at all is so standard for "left" leaning news corporations. ~~Mamdani's~~ El-Sayed's response didn't "raise eyebrows" from anyone except the fox viewers who would have already been fired up before the camera even started rolling and all this article is doing is validating them.

It's always the same thing, politicians on the right are allowed to say or do anything they want freely without any scrutiny and those who are left of centre are held under a microscope.

As a (Godwin's Law proving) example: imagine if what ~~Mamdani~~ El-Sayed had said was "I actually think Hitler was a bad person" and then we got articles about that statement raising eyebrows. It wouldn't be false but the only people it'd be referring to would be Nazis and why the fuck would you validate or acknowledge their opinions?

[-] Pelicanen@fedia.io 3 points 2 days ago

That was El-Sayed, not Mamdani. Mamdani is the mayor of New York.

[-] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Oh right. I think I got the names mixed up since I had been commenting on Mamdani earlier. Tbf I'm not American so it's a bit surprising that I even know the name of an American city's mayor at all lol

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 71 points 3 days ago

Watters is so grating in his speech, can't watch it, but it's impressive to see someone put up with him for a half hour

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 64 points 2 days ago

Things went off the rails when Watters asked the progressive if he supports gender-affirming surgery for those under 18 years old.

“Sex change for minors. Do you support that?” Watters asked El-Sayed, to which the former public health official said, “I just think the government shouldn't tell you what kind of healthcare you should have.”

“So you think it's okay for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off?” Watters asked.

El-Sayed retorted: “Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?”

The shocked Fox News host said, “Yeah, but I mean that’s a personal question, doctor.”

Watters then said circumcision is “different than castration,” but El-Sayed argued, “I’m just saying that yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling.”

Watters called El-Sayed’s comment “wacky,” adding, “Abdul, Michigan’s not going for that. That is sick stuff.”

Holy shit what an inane hypocrite. I swear conservatives are going to give me an aneurysm

"No, we only cut the foreskin off, not the whole penis! We aren't crazy."

Sweet Satan, if only he could hear himself.

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago

Jayzuss wept (for his lost foreskin, obvs)

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

If he had any foreskin it was burnt! (I too lament a lack of foreskin, so whatever)

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago

I find it darkly humorous that ribbed condoms are meant to simulate a foreskin. Yes, our culture removes the foreskin, but they'll sell you a fake one to replace it!

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Is that why I always preferred those? I had no clue. I always thought it was just because they're the only ones that come in a large enough size...

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

Or maybe it was eaten by Jeffrey Epstein, who could afford a personal chef good enough to never burn a foreskin

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

he supposed to be the replacement tucker carlson.

I think something is lost in converting it to text. Something of the essence of the moment really… You have to see it and hear it.

But, here, we cans ee something important about both Watters and El-Sayed-- Watters fancies myself some newer, better Tucker Carlson, but isn't smart enough to realize that he has Carleson's same weaknesses and is not nearly as clever nor adroit as Carleson-- something El-Sayed is both clever and adroit enough o take advantage of in this moment, and does, both warning Watters of beforehand before baiting a trap and drawing Watters witlessly into it.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

Carlson's dad ran Radio Free. He is generationally skilled at what he does.

[-] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

I believe it. But I'm not going to watch him :p

[-] eurodyne@piefed.world 6 points 2 days ago

well, it's both low-hanging fruit, and there will, doubtlessly, be many more moments like these to come. take it (or not) as you will

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

So you think it’s okay for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off?

How insane that these are the questions. Ask him about UFOs and Bigfoot next.

[-] im_fine_sandy@nord.pub 31 points 3 days ago

This was such a bizarre interaction.

El Sayed seems brilliant at responding to these gotcha questions.

[-] eurodyne@piefed.world 23 points 3 days ago

I’m sure the guy like that has had a lifetime of practice

[-] AviAdi@lemmy.world 35 points 3 days ago

I love it 😂

[-] Slab_Bulkhead@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

bro wake up, a uhh, another 'once in a generation' headline just dropped

[-] djdarren@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago

Not being an American, I tend to have very little experience of Fox News, and that's how I like it.

But how do they keep replacing one shithouse with another?

Bill O'Reilly gave way to Glen Beck gave way to Fucker Carlson gave to whoever this barely-sentient pile of dog shit is. Is there a training school for ridiculous, puffed up white boys who make that stupid "I'm just asking questions" face that I'd never tire of hitting with a bat?

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

And of course Waters couldn't/wouldn't understand.

[-] eurodyne@piefed.world 13 points 3 days ago

What a Ding-a-ling!

[-] eurodyne@piefed.world 6 points 3 days ago

As low as your ding-a-ling!

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

hes also irl DENNIS, who slashed a fox womans news employee tires to try to get in her pants.

[-] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Is there a link with the correct video?

[-] eurodyne@piefed.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Having already watched it a few times, I assure you, this is the correct video

Satisfaction not guaranteed

[-] PagPag@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

I looked at that link a couple of times before giving up on trying to find the video. What a trash source.

[-] jimmy90@lemmy.world -4 points 2 days ago

gonna be more fun when they bring up the piker radicalisation pipeline's new statement supporting punishing jews for being ok with the existence of israel
