Fox host Jesse Watters invited a streamer known for pushing misogyny and anti-Black hate on his show to discuss the July 29 “White Dudes for Harris” event, organized to support likely Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris' campaign. During the interview, Sotomayor — who has previously said that women “should not have the right to vote” and that “women, other than s3x and having children, are worthless people” — told Watters, “Vote this woman [Harris] in and get yourself not a chicken in every pot, but a Black chick in every house.”
Sotomayor, who is reportedly a men’s rights activist, has a public record of pushing sexist and anti-Black rhetoric, particularly toward Black women. Sotomayor previously appeared on the podcast of Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, where Sotomayor relentlessly demonized Black mothers and agreed with McInnes that Black women are more prone to violence. He has also compared Black women to “rabid dogs,” declared that women “should not have the right to vote,” and that “women, other than s3x and having children, are worthless people.”
Sotomayor also has a history of pushing antisemitism, including seemingly questioning the Holocaust during a recent interview. Additionally, in 2015, he appeared on former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke’s podcast to discuss “the destruction of the Black community due to the cultural pollution that is being spewed out by the Jewish media elite.”
On July 29, Watters hosted Sotomayor on his Fox prime-time show to comment on “White Dudes for Harris,” an online zoom event in support of Harris that reportedly attracted 180,000 people and caused a Fox News freakout. During the interview with Watters, Sotomayor referred to Harris as “this Black-ish woman” and complained that “Donald Trump could not say ‘White Dudes for Donald Trump.’”
Sotomayor also told Watters that “what I think Kamala is speaking to is your love and your lust for Black women,” and “Kamala Harris is giving you access to them.”
“Vote this woman in and get yourself not a chicken in every pot, but a Black chick in every house,” he added.
According to Media Matters’ internal guest database, Watters has hosted Sotomayor on his prime-time Fox News program at least 11 times since December 2023. On Watters’ show, Sotomayor has claimed that Google AI discriminates against white people, mocked DEI, and decried children being taught about racism.
On social media, Sotomayor identifies himself as a “Fox News Contributor,” although it’s unclear if he has a formal paid relationship with the network.
Sotomayor’s recent presence on Fox properties extends beyond Watters’ show, as he has also recently appeared on Tomi Lahren’s program — which streams on Fox Nation and Fox corp.-owned Outkick — and discussed Juneteenth and outrage over the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
