Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov unleashed an impassioned defense of Hillary Clinton after her co-host claimed she would be a “footnote” in history.
When the discussion on Wednesday’s edition of “The Five” turned to Clinton, Jesse Watters noted how the former first lady and former secretary of state was just a “female that does what men do.”
“These are the times to be alive,” he said, adding, “Historians will look back in 100 years, they’re not gonna look at the fake news stuff that Jessica traffics in every day.”
Watters: Hillary Clinton is going to be a footnote. It’s just because she’s a female. What has she done? She’s just a female. That’s it.

“They’re gonna see the big stuff. The world-defining moments. The rewiring of world trade. The crime, the economy, the border, what we’re doing internationally. That’s the stuff,” Watters continued. “Hillary Clinton is gonna be a footnote, and it’s just ’cause she’s a female.”
“Aw, that’s terrible,” laughed co-host Greg Gutfeld.
“It’s true! What has she done?” Watters insisted. “She’s just a female — that’s it. A female that does what men do.”
Tarlov jumped in to remind about some of Clinton’s past titles: “U.S. senator, secretary of state.”
“It’s just a job,” Watters shot back. “What does she do at the job?”
“And she just talks at the YMCA?” Tarlov demanded, referring to Clinton’s appearance at the 92nd Street Y (92NY) in New York this week.
“Does she do a great job at the job? No! She does a terrible job,” Watters said. “She does a terrible job, just like many men have done terrible jobs at those same jobs.”
“Stop it,” Tarlov told her co-host. “Rarely do I say this is beneath you, but it’s actually beneath you to be doing this.”
“You’d be surprised,” Watters shot back to laughter.
