Jesse Watters has criticized a commercial which encourages women to hide their vote for the upcoming election, suggesting going against your spouse with your vote was like an affair.
The ad, produced by Vote Common Good, a non-profit organization aimed at mobilizing religious voters, encouraging wives of Donald Trump supporters to quietly vote for Kamala Harris.
Watters criticized the ad both on The Five and his own show Thursday, saying it would be ‘D-Day’ if his second wife, Emma DiGiovine, were to pull the lever for Harris.
‘If I found out Emma was going to the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair,’ he said.
Even some of his fellow conservative cast members on The Five were laughing at his the TV host, who chuckled himself when he finished the thought.

Still, Watters soldiered on: ‘That violates the sanctity of our marriage. What else is she keeping from me? What is she lying about?
‘Why would she do that and vote Harris? Why would she say she was voting… If I caught her and she said, «I lied to you for the last four years.»‘
Jeannine Pirro confronted him about this: ‘So you’d admit you’d intimidate…’
Watters responded: ‘It’s over Emma! That would be D-Day!’
The Fox host married DiGiovine in January 2020, after admitting to an affair with her that broke up his first marriage to Noelle in 2017.
The advert by Academy Award winner Julia Roberts endorsing Harris has sparked conservative backlash online, with some accusing it of undermining marital unity and sparking mistrust.
‘In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want, and no one will ever know,’ Roberts says, as a woman hesitates before casting her vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
‘Did you make the right choice?’ her husband later asks. She responds, ‘Sure did, honey,’ insinuating that she voted for Harris.

Roberts concludes, ‘Remember, what happens in the booth, stays in the booth. Vote Harris-Walz.’
Critics of the ad accused the organization of encouraging deceitfulness between married couples.
The View‘s Ana Navarro has called out Newt Gingrich after he criticized the spot for the upcoming US presidential election from their husbands.
Gingrich, 81, hit out at the advert and said: ‘How do you run a country where you’re walking around saying wives should lie to their husbands, husbands should lie to their wives? What kind of a totally amoral, corrupt, sick system have the Democrats have developed?’ while Watters said his wife lying about her vote ‘is the same as having an affair.’
After watching clips of both men during Friday’s episode of The View, Navarro, 52, decided to have her say and told the panel: ‘It’s almost comical, if it wasn’t so serious, it would be comical, is people like Newt Gingrich saying we shouldn’t walk around saying wives should lie to their husbands or husbands should lie to their wives… he cheated on his first and second wife.’
With four days until election day, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are back campaigning in the swing states with the race still close to call.
DailyMail.com’s final poll of the 2024 campaign has the Republican nominee three points ahead of Harris nationwide.
