Watters: Do you think men should play in women’s sports? El-Sayed: I'm running for U.S. Senate. I'm out here trying to take on the health care crisis and big pharma, and you're asking me about who gets to play what sports

The lying christofascists no longer have abortion to create a culture war issue over so they came up with transvestites competing in women's sports. They cannot win a debate on issues that affect peoples lives, so they have to manufacture a crisis. May they meet old Nick soon.

Fascists simplify issues to avoid complexities. Those who defend rights of the < 1% born Trans “want men in girls’ sports”? Stand for Women’s Rights? Then we’re “baby killers”? Think Trump or Billionaires should pay tax? Or want to faze out Oil to save Life on Earth? Then we’re “Communist Marxists”?

The Corporate owned Fox fascist lie parrots won’t ever let go of their absurd, bizarre Culture Wars to distract us from REAL important issues. There’s not one Trans in USA Pro Sports, and only 10 out of 500,000 in collegiate sports. Trans and Muslims are both less than 1% of pop. SO NOT real issues!

....kyind of a "big thing" if you're looking to play girls volleyball or basketball. THOUSANDS of MEN have been donning those tiny shorts and ambling on to the courts HAIRY BACKS AND ALL, and just crushing these womens teams! THEY DONT EVEN SHAVE THEIR PITS! They get all sweaty and hairy and score!

Like it or not, it is a question a lot of people are interested in - and that’s why he should have answered it. Voters deserve to know what a candidate”s position on trans people in sports is. Shouldn’t be that difficult.

Who the fuck cares? Are trans people destroying cis women's records in sports? You can't name a single trans athlete, I guarantee it. And the most high profile case we've had a trans woman ties with a cis woman for FIFTH PLACE. gtfo of here with your concern bullshit.

this will be seen by the future generations and they will ask... WTF the people were doing back then to not terminate all that non sense at once forever???... for not saying other things that would close my account here. do you know what I mean [jelly bean]

I didn’t think a political ad could make me feel these kinds of feelings. It’s like we’ve finally “broken containment” on the Matrix that’s kept us all trapped in mediocre misery for decades!

I love this add 1 million times!!! 🫂💙🇺🇸 This is a senator who will represent all of us americans equally. The US isn't a cookie-cutter nation. Stop labeling us. Diversity is beautiful, and it has always been our biggest strength. 🌎🫂💙🇺🇸 Go Abdul El-Sayed 🌊 "Representation matters" POTUS, Joe Biden.

The name doesn't bother me. I like the fact that his name reminds me how we came to be great in the first place, which is at least in part, the blend of ideas and beliefs that make up our populace.

As someone who is a bit wary of anyone who is a devout Muslim, every single time I’ve watched or listened to this guy, the more I’ve fallen in love with him. He just effin’ “gets it” in a way we have rarely seen from any politician for decades. The “padawans” of the Bernie revolution are rising!

And, hopefully those who govern sports make decisions that are inclusive and that cultivate diversity. That would not be the job of a senator. You composed yourself very well, El-Sayed.

There aren't *any* men in *any* womens sports...*anywhere*. It's not a thing. It literally doesn't happen. It's a fiction of these Christofascist White Nationalists, just like their notions about CRT and DEI.

Thank you, Ronald Reagan, for getting rid of the fairness doctrine. The logical conclusion is racism and troll culture translated from the mouth of a punchable face and new ways to spread hate. I'm happy El-Sayed had the patients to deal with an even less valuable iteration of Tucker Carlson.

That is attributing to what was a fairly toothless policy far more impact than it had, dead or alive. Racism was alive and well on right-wing tv & radio long before 1987, as was every other form of bigotry. And the demise of the Fairness Doctrine in no way contributed to the rise of cable/FoxNews

No shit bigotry and hatred existed in other media, you're not teaching a fucking lesson here, and you're completely wrong about cable news. Yes, the FD only applied to broadcast, but cable news didn't exist back then, so again, no shit. That said, him getting rid of FD set the stage for it. STFU.🖕

The 1st answer anyone on Fox should give is," Don't you work for the News Network that had to pay $750 million for lying?" Just to remind all the viewers where they get their news.

“Should married-with-children senior employees of media companies entrap juniors by disabling their cars at night before stepping in as a creepy white knight, to inveigle their way in to an affair before dumping family for mistress?” *Also: Don’t forget FCC chair has been coordinating with Fox News

It's a big issue if a certain elements of the media continue to push it every week. They pretend they are just reflecting what people care about when we know the likes of Foxs news are very apt at setting the news agenda rather than just following it.

Fox and "friends of Trump" are talking about Trans athletes or Lake Ontario??!! BUT NONE OF THEM ARE TALKING ABOUT THE LAW THAT THE DOJ AND TRUMP ARE VIOLATING DAILY! RELEASE ALL OF THE EPSTEIN FILES IMMEDIATELY!! AMERICANS ARE ENTITLED TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT WHO VIOLATED YOUNG AND OLDER GIRLS!

Is that Jesse Waters? I read the name before and seen his image in a clip, but didn’t connect the names. I was expecting a blonde woman every time I read the name. He does remind me of a kid I went to high school with. That kid borrowed two video games over a weekend. He moved away that weekend.

They desperately want to bathrooms and sports the most urgent, and important issue we face. Forget about the treason, the endless wars, the pedophilia, the economy, the endless attacks on our allies, the grift and corruption, the cruelty to immigrants, the destruction of our rights. All of it.

El-Sayed handled the interview well by handling it. He showed everyone he's got a pair and is willing to take whatever Watters dishes out. Frankly I'd like more Dems to do this.

10 Trans athletes out of over 500,000 NCAA athletes - TEN - 15 MILLION lost health coverage due to the BBB - which issue do you think impacts Americans and their families

This culture war shit has to stop. Fox has a weird obsession with the genitalia of children and sports players. It's creepy. Men and women play netball in mixed comps here in Australia and no-one died.

I was surprised when a segment on anti trans women in sports troll was kicked out of a WBA game. On MS NOW I expected better than trans women being called men in women’s sports. I guess FOX & other media will pick this term so people can envision hairy men shaing locker room w\ their teenage girls.

This question is difficult for Democrats to answer without alienating their voters. That, if course, is why Waters asked it. El-Sayed was right though. It shouldn’t be resolved in the Senate.

Looks like this guy is every bit the political athlete we heard. Love that he's going on Fox too - it's the only way legit talking points will ever be discussed.

Thank you Mr. Abdul. That's how you deal with these morons. Focus on your policies don't let them drug you into these stupid culture wars coz that's what they love. Why don't they ever interview the people that actually run those sporting events? It's their jurisdiction after all.

Fomenting hate and not asking the serious questions is not serious journalism. For the life of me, I will never understand why anyone watches Watters or that network.

I know people who watch Fox News. They would probably be more interested in the men in women’s sports question than they would be in health care or big pharma. They probably would say Watters got El-Sayed to dodge the important questions.

Jesse wants to talk about what he knows lathers up the Fox News base viewership. Those older folks that get up in the morning, make that first cup of coffee then put Fox News on the TV and leave it alllllll day. That's who Jesse is talking at. They like watching him try to bully brown folks...

Of all the things that are happening in the world, men playing in women's sports is what the maga assholes are worried about?! FUCKING PATHETIC......you maggots are a bunch of sorry sacks of SHIT!!

Again, this is how we do it. Talk about what matters, how groceries are outrageous, how we’re at war, and I’d bring up the unreleased Epstein files.

That whole 'news' channel is nothing but Right wing propaganda and all their talking heads are probably clinical sociopaths. Watters here is especially weird because he gets very judgmental about things like men drinking from straws and he thinks Steven Miller is hot.

One of the few times it is appropriate to answer a question with a question. “Are men participating in women’s sports? Yes. But is it appropriate that Mack Beggs was required by Texas to be wrestling with girls?”

The classic political "pivot" is just a human version of a 404 error: the query was received, but the brain has decided the requested page doesn't exist in this current administration.

Jesse Watters is literally the least serious "newscaster" that has ever been on camera. He's worse than the propagandists in the film, V for Vendetta. They at least appeared to believe their own bullshit. Even Jesse's MOM asked him not to be such a chud.
