An interview between Jesse Watters and Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed took a sudden, unexpected turn on Monday.
During the Fox News broadcast of Jesse Watters Primetime on August 24, the conservative host was initially supposed to ask questions to the Senate nominee. However, El-Sayed, 41, appeared to turn the tables on Watters, asking the conservative host a very personal question. Watters seemed to be caught off-guard, as if the moment wasn’t pre-planned, and was visibly shocked when the discussion turned to circumcision, the surgical procedure that removes the foreskin.
El-Sayed looked directly at the host and asked Watters straight-up, “Are you circumcised?” This came after the 48-year-old Fox News host embarked on a scathing, sexist rant while talking about women in power.
In a light-hearted moment, El-Sayed initially told the host that he was looking forward to a “good, wholesome conversation.”
However, the discussion took a drastic turn when Watters discussed “sex change for minors,” and asked the politician, “Do you support that?”

After Watters interrupted his guest from answering, the host pressed his El-Sayed and asked, “So Abdul, you’re a doctor, right?
After El-Sayed confirmed he is a doctor, Watters then mockingly said, “So you think it’s okay for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off? You think that’s OK?”
El-Sayed responded, “I mean, so, do you really wanna have this conversation? Are you circumcised?”
Watters attempted to avoid answering and stumbled in his comeback, “Ah! Yeah, but I mean, uh, that’s a personal question, doctor!
The Fox News guest replied, “So you probably should want to move on. You probably should want to move on.”
The host fumed, “A circumcision’s different than castration.”
El-Sayed explained, “I just think it’s a problem that you think you get to decide what happens between a parent, a doctor, and a patient. I’m just saying that, yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling, so if you really wanna bring that up, you can.”
As the heated interview progressed by the minute, the two ended up in a yelling match as one tried to outdo the other.
Watters fumed, “You want to abolish ICE! Who is going to deport the criminal aliens from the country?
El-Sayed replied, “You and I both know that we’ve long before we ever had ICE, we had INS. We were able to enforce our immigration policies without shooting people in the face.”
Watters snapped, “That’s a dodge! INS did the same thing as ICE!”
El-Sayed snidely asked the host, “Shooting people in the back of the head?”
As the interview went on, the Fox News host smiked and mockingly said, “Some of the stuff you said is just straight up wacky!”
El-Sayed hit back, “We have a president of the United States who cares more about the drapes in a ballroom that shouldn’t be built than he cares about the war he just got us into. That seems to be a little wacky!”
