    M AGA America is continuing to struggle to find ways to attack Vice President Kamala Harris without being racist, sexist or both. In the GOP, bigoted attacks on Harris had gotten so bad a closed-door meeting needed to be convened by congressional Republican leaders to warn Republican lawmakers to stop with the race-baiting and misogyny —at least until they can reelect to the White House their race-baiter-and-misogynist-in-chief, Donald Trump.

    But right-wing “news” commentators have not gotten the memo that these attacks on Harris are out of touch and prone to backfire on white conservative America, which is why they’re still out here pushing sexist and, frankly, childish arguments about how Harris “ slept her way to the top ” even though she has held elected offices for most of the time she has been in the public eye.

    Anyway, recently, Fox News host Jesse Watters demonstrated that some of these MAGA pundits just can’t help themselves as he manages to be appallingly sexist as hell — possibly on accident.

    Watters insisted that if Harris became president, the Joint Chiefs of Staff “would have their way with her” in the Situation Room.

    “What is her foreign policy? This is where the president has his most impact,” Watters said Monday during an episode of Fox’s The Five. “We don’t know who she is. We don’t know what she believes. She’s gonna get paralyzed in the Situation Room while the generals have their way with her.”

    Now, Watters will likely pretend he didn’t intentionally make a meeting between the POTUS and the Joint Chiefs of Staff sound like a bad date with Bill Cosby, or that he would have ever used that kind of suggestive language when discussing a male candidate. But even Watters’ conservative MAGA-Karen co-panelists, Dana Perino and Jeanine Pirro, gave Watters a “What in the Law & Order SVU is going on here?” look and chided him for his weird observation.

    “Figuratively, again. Have their way with her, control her—not in a sexual way,” Watters said in an effort to clean up his absurdly sexist faux pas.

    Again, the crazy thing is this was probably Watters’ best attempt at being inoffensive .

    His remarks were about as jarring as they were when he mocked Black Democratic co-host, Harold Ford Jr., by insisting he is “white” and then questioning his racial identity on live air just so he could make some white and fragile point about the “ White Dudes for Harris ” political action group.

    Watters’ bigotry was arguably more blatant when he was spreading around the racist white nonsense that Trump would attract more Black voters after his mugshot had gone viral, or when he let his true white nationalist colors show when he insisted Barack Obama lacks “American perspective” because his “father has roots in Africa.”

    Anyway, plenty of folks on social media clocked the inherently misogynistic language Watters chose to describe Harris’ hypothetical meetings with policy officials, including Kerstin Emhoff, the ex-wife of Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff.

    “There are many things to worry about, but Kamala being manhandled in the situation room is not one of them,” Kerstin tweeted.

    One thing right-wing pundits need to worry about regarding a Kamala Harris presidency is how they’re going to get through the next four years at least without continuing to make their networks look like a cross between a Klan rally and a campaign to turn America into The Handmaid’s Tale .

    Or maybe they can just finally learn to read the room.
