Fox News host Jesse Watters claims men shouldn't wish other men 'happy birthday'

Fox News host Jesse Watters has claimed there is an unspoken rule among men: that they can’t wish one another “happy birthday.”

On Jesse Watters Primetime on Wednesday, the host claimed that he would have wished President Joe Biden a happy 82nd birthday that day, but it would break his apparent bro code.

“Primetime would wish him a happy birthday, but we have rules here: Men don’t wish men happy birthdays,” Watters said.

The conservative commentator noted that Barack Obama did send well wishes to his “friend” Biden on X, swiping that the former president “had just couped.”

For people who claim to value "freedom" most of all, they certainly box themselves for the most ridiculous reasons.

people nitpick and criticize you are over stupid trivial stuff that's just them indirectly saying they hate you. Jesse Waters hates Obama. It's as simple as that.

The things they worry about is so insignificant.

If they are not being anti gay, they are hating women.

This election really has men smelling themselves. Obnoxious.

Quickly tossed together for a brother's b day. I've worked at plenty of jobs where birthdays were celebrated with potlucks and well wishes.

Dude needs in patient services.

punch each other in the mouth to wish them a Happy Birthday.

Jesse's birthday is July 9, by the way.
