Right-wing Fox News anchor and commentator Jesse Watters grudgingly conceded Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed was a worthy opponent during a segment of “The Five” on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

The two went head to head in a dramatic clash Monday evening, where El-Sayed emerged with a ton of sound bites aimed at both base Democratic voters and undecided voters.<\/p>\n

“El-Sayed is a compelling, confident guy, kind of a guy’s guy,” said Watters. “But I don’t trust him. You know, I like him. I don’t want to like him. I like him.”<\/p>\n

During the interview, Watters threw everything he had at El-Sayed, grilling him on a number of hot-button culture war issues and the agenda of the Democratic Socialists of America, among many other things.<\/p>\n

One of the most eye-catching exchanges came during an argument over gender-affirming care for children; Watters demanded that El-Sayed, a doctor by training, give his position on whether it’s okay for a parent “to allow their child to slash their ding-a-ling off,” to which El-Sayed asked Watters if he is circumcised and pointed out that’s the only common case of children’s “ding-a-lings” being surgically altered.<\/p>\n

In another segment, El-Sayed tricked Watters into half-conceding that his Republican opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers, is a “beta” for not coming on Watters’ show himself.<\/p>\n
