Fox News host Jesse Watters got a little too weird for his own colleagues on Tuesday when he went off on a tangent about “high-value men.”
Watters and the rest of “The Five” spoke about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) mocking White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller by saying, “he looks like he is so mad that he is 4’10” that he’s taking that anger out at any other population possible.”

She also urged people to simply laugh at Miller, who insists he is actually 5 feet 10 inches tall.
Watters seemed offended on Miller’s behalf.
“I think AOC wants to sleep with Miller,” he said. “It is so obvious and, I’m sorry, you can’t have him.”
He said he knows Miller socially, and therefore knows “the man is not overcompensating.”

Watters then delivered some over-the-top praise for Miller as a “policy savant” and someone with “grace and class.”
“Miller is a high-value man because he has power and influence, because he has vision and he’s on a mission to save this republic and protect Western civilization,” Watters gushed. “He speaks with confidence and flair and he’s unafraid of anything.”
Watters said male Democratic figures such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) “are not brave men” and that they “failed” the tests of recent years on issues such as immigration, COVID-19 and crime.
But not Miller.

“Men who are high-value men like Stephen Miller, take risks. They’re brave. They’re unafraid. They’re confident, and they’re on a mission, and they have younger wives with beautiful children,” he said, adding, “I think I just gave him like a dating recommendation.”
Watters has been obsessive about what men should or shouldn’t do, railing against using straws, saying “happy birthday,” and grocery shopping with a spouse.
But his latest hot take may have crossed a line with some of his colleagues.
“I don’t know, man, that was pretty creepy,” co-host Greg Gutfeld said.

“I love Stephen Miller,” Watters said as the rest of “The Five” laughed.
Cohost Jessica Tarlov also later called Watters’ praise of Miller “creepy on a whole host of levels.”
Critics on social media agreed:
