NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News anchor Jesse Watters recently shared his take on Target’s “gay nutcracker” and other Christmas ornaments, and ‘The View’ co-hosts reacted to the same.

On Friday, November 17, Joy Behar explained the topic to the audience and co-hosts, as a brief clip of Watters also played on the daytime talk show.

Following this, Behar took a dig, not only at Watters, but Fox News as a whole, and the internet weighed in with their opinions on the matter.

Joy Behar says ‘he can put his nut in there’

Joy Behar, who moderated the segment in Whoopi Goldberg’s absence introduced the topic to her co-hosts, “So it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but Fox News has already started their holiday tradition of claiming there's a war on Christmas."

She continued, "This season, they say that the heathens, the heathens…heathens…the atheists, are going into battle waving a rainbow flag, watch.”



 

‘The View’ then played a clip of Fox News anchor Jesse Watters' report on said matter, where he talked about the “gay Nutcracker complete with a rainbow hat, trans flag.”

He also talked about the Santa ornaments sold by Target, which are “in a wheelchair, and black.”

After the clip ended, Behar commented, “You know, I realize it's a complex idea to get your mind around, Mr. Waters, but does Fox News understand that not every human being is heterosexual and Caucasian? I don't think they see that.”

Behar then held up the “Pride nutcracker,” and said, “And this is the culprit right here, this offensive rainbow flag.”

“You put your nut in there,” explained Behar as she pointed to the nutcracker and then said, “He can put his nut in there and squeeze it.”

To that, Ana Navarro commented, “You know, that orifice might be a little too big.”

The audience and the co-hosts doubled down with laughter at Behar and Navarro’s remarks after Watters’ take on the “gay nutcracker.”

After ‘The View’ host Joy Behar took a dig at Fox News and its primetime anchor Jesse Watters, the internet was quick to respond.

One person wrote, “I'm not gay and I just ordered one of those Pride nutcrackers - just because Watters complained.”

“I bought a pride nutcracker last year, this isn't a new thing,” wrote one user and another commented, “This segment is wonderful that "guy" from the foxy proxy "news" is so far from being enlightened.”

One user wrote, “I can't believe that guy has an issue with Santa being black. Wtf dude!” and another said, “Here's an idea, if you don't like something don't buy it. Pretty simple really.”

“No kidding, are you for real, A Black Santa in a Wheelchair, no kidding 😢 said no one, except Fox News,” wrote one user.
