When Greg Gutfeld from Fox News takes aim at the left, it’s a total knockout before he’s even halfway done. This was evident on Thursday night when the sharp-witted host of “Gutfeld!” called out the “mainstream” media for hiding (basically lying about) President Joe Biden’s clear decline in mental sharpness.
This one was over before it began — with a bit of caustic humor tossed in for good measure.
Gutfeld, also known for co-hosting “The Five” on Fox, boldly stated in his opening speech that the truth was being disregarded as the media persistently pushed “the most colossal lie in presidential politics history,” by insisting that Biden was still as sharp as ever, despite everyone in the world who wasn’t a Democrat knowing the truth.
So where was the media … when it was obvious Biden was 25th Amendment material?
[…]
They propagated the hugest lie in presidential politics: Joe Biden is capable of leading. Leading what exactly? A social gathering for his imaginary pet rabbit? But they kept on repeating these falsehoods because they lacked the courage, every single one of them. Hollywood wasn’t any better. Even comedians succumbed to the same weakness, claiming they were under pressure to toe the line. For instance, Jim Gaffigan confessed that he was advised against criticizing Joe or Harris.
Cuts to video of Gaffigan:
What I thought was interesting about this election is–and maybe because it was so important and maybe because it was such a short election for Kamala–that people were like, don’t criticize her. And I’m like, that’s actually bad to have that approach. And I think hindsight, a lot of people feel that way.
Gutfeld then mused about why most comedians refused to broach the Biden issue, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris’ fraud of a presidential campaign.
The question is who pressured them to stay in line? Did either comic have a boss who might fire them? No. They stayed in line because their agents, managers and their own wallets told them to. And also their peers. They were scared of upsetting people they wanted to impress. What if they ran into Seth Rogen at Whole Foods? Or Chelsea Handler at the free clinic? Or Leo DiCaprio at their daughter’s high school graduation?Â
While partially true, we also saw TDS-riddled “comedians” like NBC’s Seth Meyers, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel, and CBS’s Stephen Colbert eagerly defend (lie about) Biden and his pretend-mental soundness at every self-created opportunity.

So What Happened to Comedians Who Did Go After Biden and Harris?
Gutfeld was all over this one, including referencing conservative comedian and “Gutfeld!” writer Joe Machi in classic Gutfeld style.Â
Meanwhile, comics with real guts for the past four years, well, they were on this show or writing for it behind the scenes. They said what they thought and they shared the risk. They told the truth about what they saw and they lost work for it. Nick DePaulo says he’s been canceled more times than a Chris Christie gym membership.Â
But they lost jobs and they lost friends. I hear Joe Machi couldn’t get l*** this entire time as well as before or after. Fortunately, the show helped them pack halls and clubs, and now suddenly everyone else agrees with them and us, without ever admitting we were right, of course. But hey, it only ended up costing them an election and the public’s goodwill. Better luck next time, guys. Maybe then you’ll have grown some b****.
“Period!” as the voiceover says at the end of Gutfeld’s monologues.Â
After getting caught with their left-wing pants down after Biden’s disastrous June debate on CNN with soon-to-be President Donald Trump and the subsequent ending of his miserable campaign, some of those who had feverishly worked to hide the president’s obvious decline admitted they were wrong — sort of — while some blamed the White House, and others stubbornly refused to admit their complicity.
Meanwhile, the legacy media will no doubt continue to blast Trump every chance it gets (takes) over the next four years.Â
