The Fox News host has been ridiculed on social media after he was seen sucking on a pacifier like a baby during his show, as he moaned about the new trend

Fox News personality Jesse Watters validated many critics’ assumptions on Friday evening – by placing a pacifier in his mouth like an infant.

Watters has gained notoriety for his divisive viewpoints and imposing standards on what he considers ‘masculine’, including avoiding straws and refraining from consuming soup publicly.

However, he now seems to have violated his own principles by appearing remarkably awkward with a baby’s pacifier between his lips during a live broadcast. It comes after a Fox News host was branded a “real loser” by Donald Trump in a furious clash.

The television personality worked himself into a frenzy over the supposed phenomenon of teenagers and young adults using the item to alleviate anxiety. This follows Watters making another outrageous statement as part of his disturbing ‘rules’.

“Gen Z is sucking the stress away,” displayed the on-screen graphic as Watters began showcasing his baby blue pacifie.

Audiences were unimpressed, with one posting: “He won’t drink through a straw but will put a pacifier in his mouth. Ok.

“He has finally discovered the maturity level of his peer group,” remarked another, while a third commented: “I mean he whines like a baby every damn day.”

Previously, Jesse targeted Minnesota Governor Tim Walz with a series of chauvinistic comments during a Fox News segment where he outlined his “guidelines for men.

“No real man has a nickname like that,” Watters declared in a peculiar tirade, labeling Walz a “tampon”.

“Real men don’t talk about how masculine they are,” he continued, before unveiling his “guidelines for men” which he claimed were “not serious”. “I have rules for men. Like you don’t eat soup in public. You don’t cross your legs. And you don’t drink from a straw and one of the reasons is… just the way your lips purse. It’s very effeminate,” Watters declared.

“His excuse was I was drinking a milkshake. Again, you shouldn’t be drinking a milkshake. Milkshakes are for kids,” he went on, while his co-hosts appeared stunned yet seemingly agreeable.

Watters then insisted that men “don’t simultaneously wave with both hands. We wave with one hand.”

His remarks triggered another online firestorm, with most users appearing outraged.

One individual shared a photo of JD Vance, asking, “Yet they can wear eyeliner?” implying that the vice president does- a gag that has been circulating since his 2024 campaign trail.

Another user attacked the obvious insecurity, writing, “Imagine being this fragile. If a straw threatens your masculinity, maybe the problem isn’t the milkshake,” delivering a sharp jab at Watters’ sexism.

This follows a strange online photo that revealed how Trump appears without his artificial tan and signature hairstyle.
