“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.
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.”
Yes. I’m sure it was supposed to talk about her using her VERSRS grown-up Nazi name. But. Editing is expensive and takes time, so. It basically says the opposite.
There’s no way that wasn’t scripted, which makes it so much worse.
I will actually punch a motherfucker
We didn’t beat the Nazis the first time with punches.
It’s time to get armed and trained.
Kennedy as in 1980’s MTV Kennedy? "who now goes by Kennedy ". That’s all I ever knew her by…
