'How dare he': Fox News hosts say they're 'suspicious' of Justin Trudeau after comments
A tit-for-tat between the Canadian prime minister and President-elect Donald Trump is brewing – and Fox News hosts didn’t waste time weighing in on the international back and forth.
Canadian Prime Minister Justice Trudeau made waves in MAGA world after he declared earlier this week that he is “and always will be a proud feminist,” Fox News Digital reported. The remarks came during a speech in Ottawa where he grumbled about the United States’ failure to elect a female president for a second time, according to the network.
“How dare he mansplain to women,” Fox News host and former pro wrestler Tyrus said during a discussion about Trudeau on Friday. “How misogynistic of you.”

Tyrus joined the panel on “The Five,” where hosts Dana Perino, Jesse Watters and Jeanine Pirro piled on Trudeau.
“I’m suspicious of men who announce that they’re feminists,” Watters said. “That either tells me they are trying to get lucky. That either tells me that they’re hiding something really disgraceful in their past that they did to a woman – or they’re not real men.”
Watters added during his rebuke that the Canadian prime minister is “not a manly man.”
“He’s not secure in his masculinity,” he said. “He’s hiding something, he did something bad and he’s catering to women in a way that makes me uncomfortable and not trust him.”
The hosts suggested that Trudeau’s comments came as a reaction to Trump belittling him as “Governor Justin Trudeau” in a degrading late-night post a few days earlier.
Kellyanne Conway, a former senior counselor to Trump, added that Trudeau is “misreading the American election, respectfully.”
“Let me make very clear, we would love to vote for a female president, just not the two women that you’ve put up for us to consider,” Conway said. She added that it was “devastating” that Vice President Kamala Harris "won women by eight points."
