Fox News host Greg Gutfeld recently shared his thoughts on the reactions from Democrats and media figures following ABC’s decision to suspend late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. Gutfeld made his comments during a panel discussion on "The Five," emphasizing that the focus on Kimmel’s situation seemed disproportionate compared to the recent public assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
On the show, Gutfeld argued that the media was attempting to portray Kimmel as a victim similar to Kirk, which he found troubling. He stated, "Even in death, Charlie keeps winning debates," highlighting the stark difference between Kimmel’s job loss and the serious threat that Kirk faced. Gutfeld pointed out that Kimmel would still be able to return home to his family, unlike Kirk, who was attacked.
Gutfeld’s remarks resonated with many viewers, as he expressed frustration over the media’s handling of Kimmel’s suspension. He noted that most media personalities, including himself, live in a bubble and do not face the same risks as those who engage in public debates, like Kirk.
Earlier in the day, Gutfeld took to social media to reinforce his views, stating that his friends performing in front of large audiences were more concerned about their safety than their jobs. He criticized CNN and similar outlets for failing to understand the real dangers that come with public engagement.
Gutfeld’s comments reflect a broader conversation about media priorities and the perception of victimhood in today’s political climate. His perspective highlights the contrasting realities faced by public figures in different arenas, prompting discussions about the nature of celebrity, safety, and the responsibilities of the media.
