Jesse Watters Takes Aim at Ilhan Omar's Marital History — Critics Fire Back with His Own Failures

May 08 2026

Fox News host Jesse Watters threw shade at Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) marital history on Thursday, but critics were quick to remind him of his own messy past. “Omar has been married three times. What do you say about a woman who has been married three times?” he quipped on “The Five,” seemingly oblivious to the irony.

Just last week, President Donald Trump joined the fray, branding Omar “despicable” during a speech at the Villages Charter School in Florida. “I would imagine they’re looking at her,” Trump said, adding, “We ought to get those people the hell out of our country.”

But hold up—Watters himself has been divorced once, and let’s not forget Trump’s own track record: three marriages and two divorces. The hypocrisy is thick, and many are calling out Watters for his selective memory.

As social media erupted with criticism, users pointed out that while Watters and Trump throw stones, their own glass houses are on full display. The backlash highlights a growing frustration with public figures who criticize others without acknowledging their own flaws.

In a world where personal lives are often scrutinized, it seems Watters might want to take a long look in the mirror before casting judgment on others. The conversation around marriage and divorce is complex, yet here we are, caught in a cycle of hypocrisy and finger-pointing.
