Right-wing Fox News anchor and commentator Jesse Watters grudgingly conceded Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed was a worthy opponent during a segment of "The Five" on Tuesday evening.The two went head to head in a dramatic clash Monday evening, where El-Sayed emerged with a ton of sound bites aimed at both base Democratic voters and undecided voters."El-Sayed is a compelling, confident guy, kind of a guy's guy," said Watters. "But I don't trust him. You know, I like him. I don't want to like him.

Mike Rogers, is a "beta" for not coming on Watters' show himself.
