Greg Gutfeld of Fox News managed to thoroughly humiliate himself and the network that pays him during a segment on “The Five” this week discussing a new book from former Biden administration White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, and his comments immediately came back to bite him squarely on the butt.
“Who is the most successful politician this century? Donald Trump, with 98% of the media against him,” he said. “Then you look at the KJPs, you look at the Joe Bidens, you look at the Kamala Harrises. They are all abject, pathetic figures. They’re failures, and they had the media on their side. They failed. What does that tell you? An allied slobbering media does you no favors. It leaves you as an incompetent, arrogant, entitled fool.”
Oh, the irony!
Fox is clearly in the bag for Trump and has been since he announced he was running for president back in 2015. They’ve even been unapologetic cheerleaders for some of his most egregious lies and conspiracy theories, especially the one Donnie spun about how the 2020 election was “stolen” from him. As a matter of fact, that fib got the network sued and cost Rupert Murdoch $787.5 million as part of a settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.
As many social media users reminded Gutfeld, the irony of his comments was so rich (and ridiculous) that it suggested his self-awareness meter was broken.
