Fox News host Jesse Watters jokingly suggested on Tuesday that Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might be attracted to White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller.
Ocasio-Cortez aimed at Miller during an Instagram live feed posted Sunday, claiming he was only a “clown” who was only four feet, ten inches tall and urging her followers to mock him, prompting a response from Miller on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show Monday. Watters addressed the controversy during Tuesday’s episode of “The Five” after co-host Dana Perino asked if he thought Ocasio-Cortez “insulted” male Trump supporters.
“No. I think AOC wants to sleep with Miller. It is so obvious and I’m sorry, you can’t have him,” Watters said. “Miller is the best. I know him well socially, and the man is not overcompensating, Dana. I know when people are overcompensating. I know people at this table who are overcompensating. That person is me. He is a policy savant. I mean, this guy is confident. He battles CNN with grace and with class, and he provides wise counsel to the president of the United States.”

“This is what AOC doesn’t get about men,” Watters continued. “Miller is a high-value man because he has power and influence, because he has vision, and he’s on a mission to save this republic and protect Western civilization. He speaks with confidence and flair, and he’s unafraid of anything. Now, AOC may have someone that’s taller, like Gavin, or maybe someone who has more distinguished characteristics like Adam Schiff, the senator who talks like this, or someone with more wealth, like Soros the younger. But those men are not brave men.”
Watters expanded on why he thought Ocasio-Cortez, who has been engaged to Riley Roberts since 2022, might harbor a crush on Miller, who is married and has children. Ocasio-Cortez had previously claimed Republican critics wanted to go out with her in a December 2021 post on X, then known as Twitter.
“Those men did not protect the country when the country needed it. We had tests throughout the last couple of years, tests on crime, tests during Covid, and tests with immigration and all of the men that AOC seems to value, they all failed the test and they failed it miserably,” Watters said. “Men who are high-value men, like Stephen Miller, take risks, they’re brave, they’re unafraid, they’re confident, and they’re on a mission. And they have younger wives with beautiful children. I think I just gave him, like, a dating recommendation.”
Ocasio-Cortez and Miller did not respond to requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk accused Ocasio-Cortez of flirting with him after she criticized him following his April 2022 offer to purchase Twitter in a since-deleted post on the site. He appeared to give up on the crush in a March 2023 post.
