{{/usCountry}}"Just to clear up one of the many theories about you, I've no idea what the answer is and you haven't got to answer, but are you actually attracted to women?" Morgan said.
"I am attracted to women… but I will say that women are very difficult to be around, so there's that,” Fuentes replied.

He went on to express his opinions on women, saying they shouldn’t have the right to vote or they should stay at home.
While most were outraged and irritated by Fuentes’ response, some spoke in support of him. Replying to one such remark, Morgan tweeted, “The guy literally admitted he’s a racist. I didn’t have to ‘gotcha’ him - he’s proud of it. Maybe you should have asked him about his racism in between all your softballs?”
