Newt Gingrich and Jesse Watters Laugh It Up as Fox Hosts Asks If Reagan ‘Talked About Other Republicans’ A*ses’

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R) and Fox News host Jesse Watters could not contain their amusement as the former revealed that President Ronald Reagan “wasn’t an a*s man — at least not about guys” as President Donald Trump has repeatedly turned to the subject during recent rallies.

After introducing Gingrich, who served in Congress for 20 years, Watters got right to the point.

“Did Ronald Reagan talk about other Republicans’ a*ses?” the Jesse Watters Primetime host asked, both guffawing at the question.

Gingrich replied: “You always outdo yourself. [To] the best of my knowledge, and I knew Reagan pretty well, He was not an a*s man. At least not about guys.”

He then asked Watters, who was cracking up, “How do you come up with this?”

“I’m just playing off Trump,” Watters said, before getting serious and asking if Gingrich senses a shift in momentum around the upcoming midterms.

The exchange came amid a bizarre kind of admiration that Trump has been exhibiting toward Senator Jon Husted (R-OH).

“I don’t do this with men very often,” Trump said during a Youngstown, Ohio, rally on Oct. 12. “I started examining his body because I didn’t know he was a great athlete. And I looked, and I watched up and down. I looked at his a*s and I looked at the whole– and then I looked at his hands. Look at his hands. He’s got these, like, claws. And I got it. You are a great athlete.”

Trump repeated his posterior praise the very next day in Greenville, North Carolina:

“But I looked at his ass, and then I looked at his legs. I said, “His a*s, sh*t, it’s like, it’s like a pile of muscle.” Then I looked at his legs, and I said, “Man, his feet are big.” Then I looked at his shoulders, and I tapped him on the shoulder, and it actually hurt my hand. He’s like a piece of steel. I said, “This guy’s a monster!”

Even Trump’s veep, JD Vance, couldn’t resist a mention during a rally stop in Ohio on Wednesday.

“Now, this is a tough act to follow ladies and gentlemen, because what could I possibly say about Jon Husted that Donald J. Trump has not already said? Don’t worry, I’m not talking about Jon Huston’s a*s. I’m not talking about it.”
