Gretchen Carlson lamented that you cant say anything anymore adding, She is, shes pretty! So what? Attorney General Eric Holder is the one who should be upset, Steve Doocy quipped.
As the crew moved on to discuss how the presidents administration has been criticized for being a mens club, Carlson argued that many businesses are that way. If you want to talk about the pervasiveness of women not in top positions, then thats a whole discussion about society and banks and different lines of business, et cetera, she stressed. But I dont think people should be totally offended by saying if a nice-looking man walks down the street, Ill say, Wow, a good-lookin guy. (Naturally prompting Brian Kilmeade to add, But you wont grab his butt.)
Kilmeade, who incidentally said he recently got out of sexual harassment training, agreed with Carlson. When you see an attractive woman who happens to be very professional and smart, wouldnt it be great to include she is very attractive in the rundown of attributes? Its not exactly a quality to list on a resumé, Carlson clarified, but there shouldnt be an issue with simply acknowledging it.
She further went on to deem the discussion a lose-lose situation for women because being offended makes a woman too sensitive, while not being offended means shes not standing up for womens rights. Theres no reason to be so politically correct: Harris is attractive, and saying so isnt a big deal.
Kilmeade asked whether women are upset by men pointing out theyre attractive it just so happens hes a man who happens to be president and married.

He should say something racist: Doocy and Kilmeade would become firm supporters

(11,589 posts)6. I'm still laughing at this paragraph:
Kilmeade, who incidentally said he recently got out of sexual harassment training, agreed with Carlson. When you see an attractive woman who happens to be very professional and smart, wouldnt it be great to include she is very attractive in the rundown of attributes? Its not exactly a quality to list on a resumé, Carlson clarified, but there shouldnt be an issue with simply acknowledging it.
Oh Kilmeade... I never knew they had training for such things!
In all seriousness, it's a self created Foxtroversy. Gretchen goes on to justify the men's club in my opinion. and Brian kilmeade, after watching the video clearly FAILED his sexual harrassment training. But you wont grab his butt.
