Nationally syndicated radio host Dana Loesch hit out at Jenna Bush Hager while defending Shane Gillis and his joke about women on Saturday Night Live.

Loesch, 48, took issue with the Today star's take on the situation in a social media post Tuesday. Bush Hager, 44, claimed the comedian's remarks help fuel a culture that increasingly judges women by looks alone.

'And who is he to comment on women's bodies?' the daughter of George W Bush said on Tuesday's Today with Jenna and Sheinelle. 'It's not OK. It's not OK.

'And I think, like, if we want to be good role models for our children, like, stop talking about the way women look. Period.

'I think many women have said, "This is enough."'

'Especially in the time we're living in, I wouldn't want my son to hear that,' Bush Hager continued. She said she would 'be disgusted' if her husband, Henry Chase Hager, 'talked like that about someone,' but added: 'He would never.'

Loesch, the number-one nationally syndicated female talk radio host in the country, replied in an itemized post.

It addressed several of the host's qualms one-by-one.

'What is your kid doing watching a Gillis monologue on SNL late night?' Loesch wrote for one. 

'2)' the post continued. '[Bush Hager] said she would be disgusted if her husband made a joke like that. 

'Ok, good for you. Live your life. It doesn't make Gillis wrong.'

Gillis joked a little more than two minutes into his SNL return: 'I haven't been to the gym in so long I didn't know women just dress like wh**es now?'

The reference to women's activewear sparked furious backlash.

Loesch, a former CNN political analyst whose nationally syndicated The Dana Show replaced Rush Limbaugh's in nearly a dozen markets in 2021, posted a 13-minute video on the subject Tuesday, before responding to Bush Hager.    

Her post continued: '3) She goes on to say the word "whore" is a pejorative (duh?) and that if a girl wants to be proud of her body, then let her.

'OK, so can we let her be "proud of her body" dressed like a whore at home, not at the gym, where treating the space like a pole isn't exactly hygienic when nobody wants to sit on the seat after your bare butt sweat.

'YAY, we all win,' the post concluded. 

In her video, Loesch elaborated: 'I've been to several gyms, and not all women dress like that. Women go there to get the job done and workout, because they have stuff to do.

'But we have all seen the chicks in there that do that,' the former Democrat volunteer-turned-Republican radio star continued.

'And yeah, just because you're in a gym, if you're working - I mean, yes: don't dress like a whore at the gym. This is not difficult. 

'And some people, sometimes, you'll have that one woman that looks like a whore at the gym. 

'And if you don't want to be called, looking like a whore at the gym, then don't dress like a whore at the gym. This is not difficult.'

Loesch left the Democratic Party shortly after Bush Hager's father took office in 2001, disillusioned with the party after the Monica Lewinsky scandal and the terror attacks September 11.

She served as a paid spokesperson for the NRA from 2017 until 2019, once saying on-air on CNN that she owned an AR-15.

Bush Hager joined Today shortly after her dad's second term ended, in 2009.

The Daily Mail has approached NBC for comment. Both SNL and Today are broadcast by NBC.  

Gillis, 38, was famously fired from SNL in 2019, just days after being announced as a cast member, over racist and homophobic posts. His hosting turn Saturday was his third since, during which his star has risen dramatically. 

He continues to face flak for his monologue. Stars like Dan Levy, of Schitt's Creek, slammed it as 'misogynistic.'

The Daily Mail previously reached out to representatives for Gillis for additional comment and has yet to hear back.
