The customary use of the honorific Doctor title depends on the circumstances. It was arrogant of her to insist that he use it in the interview. At a minimum, she should have reciprocated the courtesy by addressing him as Mr. Watters.
Libs tend to use it selectively, to enhance the status of certain individuals. The most egregious recent example was Christine Ford. I pissed off a NYT reporter by confronting her with their hypocritical inconsistency. They never use it to refer to a conservative holding a doctoral degree.
Before his untimely death, I had an in depth discussion with my friend, a PhD psychologist, about calling her Dr. Ford. Short version of what he told me was that it would not be considered appropriate.
The funniest thing about all these SJW’s is that they are the most racist pieces of schitt on the face of the earth and they don’t even realize it. Assuming an entire race can’t make it without the scraps thrown at it from another is about as racist as it gets. Yet that is the very premise of their stance when it comes to white/black relations.
Without the white man helping them, the black race is doomed to a life of poverty and violence. No way can they pull themselves up through hard work and education unless we support it.
Well years of democratic government in most of the large cities that ostensibly supports it doesn’t appear to be helping them much. Maybe they ought to try something else?

I hold a doctorate but in my field traditionally the title isn't used. Some who need to stroke their egos try to until they realize they're making themselves the butt of jokes. Waters' point is that things cannot be racist, only people can be racist. Shockingly that seems to be an elusive concept.
Those people are easy to embarrass, a bird nest on the ground as an old teacher liked to say. Tucker uses a classic method, ask the next question. Ask a question, let them respond. Then ask them a question which would have them justify their response. Very effective against bubble heads who haven't thought their position through.

Linus was convinced of the Great Pumpkin on Halloween. Evidence proved otherwise. Kids got goodies. Heck, even Charlie Brown got rocks. Sally's still pissed.
To a liberal, the all time, absolute worst thing you can possibly call someone is “racist”. It is the all consuming trump card of evil.
As such they will do anything - and I mean ANYTHING - to avoid that epithet.
They can also do absolutely anything in the name of stamping it out. So if someone deems something racist - and let’s face it, you can deem anything racist with enough mental gymnastics - it is your civic and moral duty to wipe it out lest you are yourself a part of the problem and worthy of extermination. No dissension tolerated. You are either with them 100% or you are against them.
This is a movement we’ve seen before... I just can’t recall exactly where?
My focus on math is fairly narrow. Mach, momentum, both linear and angular, ToF, drop, drift, that sorta stuff. Properly framed it can make a mess out of the opposition.
Math isn't racist. Maybe Negroes are just dumber (with some exceptions). That would explain a lot.
One member of my dissertation committee was a black man with a doctorate degree from a rather prestigious math department.
Was he called "Dr. Uncle Tom" or "Uncle Dr. Tom"? Serious inquiry for future referencing. Assume it can be applied to Dr. Cracker or Dr. Hillbilly as well.

PMing Deflave quoting you would be laugh-a-minute funny but unfortunately is too easy.
" ... This is a movement we’ve seen before... I just can’t recall exactly where? "
Try the Soviet Russia, Communist China, East Germany, Castro's Cuba, Kim's North Korea, Pol Pot's Cambodia, etc. All the same and in line with that "PhD" nitwit.
Probably made it all the way through with only one math class requirement, 6-7years of college.
She did what they all do. Found something she didn’t like or couldn’t do so she deemed it “racist”. Now she can ignore it or attack it. Voila, problem solved.
Grades are racist. IQ tests are racist. Speaking something resembling English is racist. Homework is racist. Teaching history is racist. Being anti-looting is racist. Statistics of crimes committed by race, is racist. Hmmmmm.
Hmm, A Canadian friend told me, the mines he worked for were required to hire a quota of First nation, Indians to us. Late for work, they'd say, time is a white man's invention.
