Talk about “straw man” arguments: A GOP congressman is getting mocked for the bizarre way he trumpeted his masculine bona fides to a Fox News interviewer.
Thursday’s episode of Jesse Watters’ show featured a montage showing various Republican politicians commenting on the host’s “rules for men” to producer Johnny Belisario.
Some of the things that Watters insists are not masculine include sitting behind a computer screen, waving with both hands, grocery shopping with a woman and taking bubble baths.
But Watters’ biggest ick for men seems to be when they use straws, which he once called “unbecoming” because of it forces a man to purse his lips.
So, naturally, Belisario asked Tennessee congressman Tim Burchett his thoughts about Watters’ opinion that “men should not drink out of a straw in public, or at all.”
