“These quotes — even if said in jest — would destroy the careers of any other journalist on any other mainstream national media platform,” said journalist Mehdi Hasan.

      These guys would carry out a second Holocaust dressed as Nazi SS officers and then act offended when you call them Nazis. Not even joking, see: Russia

    Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld sparked outrage Tuesday with an on-air comment about Nazis and “the Blacks.”

    During a segment on “The Five,” co-host Gutfeld pushed back at current right-wing figures who are being compared to Nazis with an offensive comparison.

    He said:

    “This is why the criticism doesn’t matter to us when you call us Nazis. ‘Nazi this and Nazi that.’ You know, I’m beginning to think they don’t like us. You know what? I’ve said this before. We need to learn from the Blacks, the way they were able to remove the power from the n-word by using it. So, from now on, it’s, ‘What up, my Nazi? Hey, what up, my Nazi? Hey, what’s hanging, my Nazi?’”

    “Nazi,

    please!” replied fellow panelist Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, the former MTV VJ who now goes by Kennedy.

    Gutfeld cracked up at the comment, then responded: “Thank God you did a hard ‘i’ there.”

    So do we get to shoot them now? I mean we shoot Nazis, if that’s what they want to be, do we get to shoot them now?

    I said this in the lead up to the 2024 election and I still do believe that eventually someone in the GOP will openly say the N-word live on TV and nothing will come of it.

    Except you didn’t use it. Twice. It still clearly has power, you fucking Nazi.

    I used to enjoy Gutfeld on RedEye but he is just a complete jackass and moron on the 5 or whatever its called. Thank god for Jessica, I dont know how she puts up with his bullshit. I know shes a political strategist and all that but I think there’s a place for people like her and Nicole Wallace.

      You watch Fox and Gutfeld is the line for you? On a show with Jesse Watters no less?

      Jessica puts up with it because she’s a well-paid DINO. Her entire career has been in service of conservative politicians. If I had no morals nor limit to my greed, I’d put up with Gutfeld’d bullshit, too.

        I dont watch fox in general or that fox 5 show, their clips are used as receipts a lot on meidastouch.

        Used to watch Red Eye when younger but i always took Gutfelds conservative schtick (actually probably closer to his irl) with a legion of salt. His repulsive sidekick Bill Schulz and also TV’s Andy Leevy kept him in check pretty good

          Yeah.

          I saw Fox comedy talk like that when I was young, I guess. I only vaguely remember the hosts, but recall some grounding others like that.
