Fox News Host Pretty Sure DeSantis Wears Lifts: ‘Open Your Eyes’
Jesse Watters said he needed more information—though his co-host Jessica Tarlov instead urged him to “open your eyes.”

While co-host Jesse Watters said he needed more information to come to a conclusion, Tarlov instead urged him to “open your eyes.” As a video played of DeSantis walking out on stage for an interview last month, she added, “I’m no cowboy, but that looks higher.” Also on Tuesday, two expert shoemakers told POLITICO that it’s likely that DeSantis wears lifts, while a third said there’s “no doubt.”
