Greg Gutfeld is the designated “funny” guy at Fox News. How do we know this? He has his own show, and Fox advertises it as a humor program. Which is extremely helpful because there’d be no way to tell otherwise. Indeed, as a “professional,” um, “comedian,” he lies somewhere on the humor spectrum between Dane Cook and clown penis cancer. (Apologies if you’re a big fan of clown penis cancer. Or Dane Cook, I suppose.)
But what Gutfeld lacks in comedy chops he makes up for by urging a violent, democracy-ending civil war in order to address a minor, likely pandemic-related uptick in crime in many of our cities.
Then again, if conservatives aren’t scaremongering on behalf of our looming Thousand Year Trumpian Reich™, brought to you by Stormfront and Hobby Lobby, they’re not really trying.
Recently on Fox News’ “The Five,” whose name is an apparent reference to Mitch Albom’s bestselling novel “The Five People You Met at Phyllis Schlafly’s Key Party,” Gutfeld went on an extended anti-democracy tirade that defies belief. To their credit, the other panelists, including Harold Ford Jr. and Martha MacCallum, pushed back. For now, anyway.
