Gutfeld: The Left Will Embrace Any Slogan Because They Are Insecure, Their Empathy is “Purely Performative”
“The Five” co-host Greg Gutfeld criticized celebrities who wore anti-ICE pins and ribbons at the Grammy Awards, calling the display an act of “performative” empathy. “Giving Don Lemon an ovation tells you how much they hate you, the consumer,” Gutfeld said. “It was the consumer’s church, the person in America’s church that he stormed, that he scared those children, but they — that he tried to sabotage. But they don’t think that way. Their empathy is purely performative, and it’s not real.”
DANA PERINO, FOX NEWS CHANNEL HOST: Are those the pins? What pins were they wearing for the Golden Globes? They also had pins. Oh, be good. Remember those? The pin industry is doing well in Hollywood. GREG GUTFELD, FOX NEWS CHANNEL HOST: I don’t want to be a hypocrite, Dana, so I have to point out that this show is being filmed on stolen land. This used to be Glenn Beck’s studio. I love Billie Eilish because she managed to be not just stupid on one issue, but stupid on two issues simultaneously. That is, she’s up in her game. How can you — how can the land be stolen if there is no border? So, she says, she’s absolutely amazing. And Jesse, you’re right. She has this massive house on stolen land, and she has to turn that into a casino, because that’s the only way forward. I don’t — I don’t expect her to like move out immediately, but turn it into a casino, let people in. I know she has some stalkers. What’s that about? How come she keeps out stalkers? I don’t understand this. Not about politics at all, it’s about persona. You know, Don Lemon got a standing ovation from them. But it’s not about him, you know, because Don is Don. He’s an ambulance chaser, but the ambulance is status. It’s the people who give it to them. Why do they give it to them? If you — you have to understand, thy’re children, when they’re out there, they look like adults, but they’re actually children. They have — they don’t really have a background that everybody else does. They’re frightened and they’re insecure. They’re really worried about fitting in. So, even though they will dress like a rebel, they will embrace any slogan, because deep down, they fear that their deficiencies will be exposed. They are basket cases. Every person in there is a basket case, worried about their imposter syndrome and wondering, when will their luck run out? So, what they do, it’s amazing, because everybody thinks of them as standout celebrities. They will do anything to fit in, which is why they went after Nicki Minaj because she refused to and by refusing to fit in, they felt like, oh my god, people can actually see us. They actually could see us for what we are. We’re just a bunch of followers, and we’re terrified. Giving Don Lemon an ovation tells you how much they hate you, the consumer. It was the consumer’s church, the person in America’s church that he stormed, that he scared those children, but they — that he tried to sabotage. But they don’t think that way. Their empathy is purely performative, and it’s not real. But by embracing him, they piss on them, and I love how transparent they are, and there’s some subservient stupidity. I love how they did it so quickly. Boom, bat signal while they were doing that. What was going on? We have the lowest murder rate in history. The ICE found 2,700 exploited children. They located 145,000 missing migrant kids while they were doing Adderall and Pilates. I mean, ICE did more in a few days than they will ever do in a lifetime, in a lifetime, and maybe that’s why they’re upset. I think that, you know, ICE, rescuing all these kids, has put a real damper in their pipeline of underage sex workers.
