A Massachusetts city council meeting turned into a theatrical display when trans activists in Worcester demanded their city be declared a “sanctuary” for trans individuals.
The over-the-top performance quickly became a national news story, with many pointing out the absurdity of the spectacle, as The Gateway Pundit reported.
Fox News’ “The Five” panel took on the controversy, but it was Greg Gutfeld who delivered the most cutting critique of the activists’ performative outrage.

During the segment, Gutfeld didn’t hold back, calling out the activists for their desperate need for attention and highlighting how the city council cowered before them rather than standing firm.
TRANS TERROR: In what seemed more like a @alexstein99 skit, the City Counsel of Worcester, MA voted to make the city a so-called ‘Transgender Sanctuary City’. This is NOT satire, this mental illness enabled by the state. To be honest, these people scare me.

“Harold [Ford Jr.], you’re acting like this is real. This is not real,” Gutfeld stated, making it clear that the display had nothing to do with genuine fear or oppression.
Gutfeld compared the activists’ demands to a hypothetical situation where a group of people insisted on having healthy limbs removed. “Would you sit there and apply the same kind of logic?” he asked, pointing out the illogical nature of their claims.
He went on to highlight the real dynamic at play:
“The only fear that you are experiencing is the city council terrified of them. There is no fear among the [public]. All of that was performative.”
Gutfeld exposed the activists for what they truly are—attention-seekers who thrive on chaos and victimhood. “If they did not even go to this, no one would care. They would not know who these people are. But they can’t live their lives where there is no attention.”
Taking his critique further, Gutfeld called them out as “melodrama queens” who rely on false narratives of persecution.
“They crave this chaos. The idea that somebody is targeting them is what they get off of. These people are not trans. They are trans activists.”
Perhaps his most hard-hitting point was about the mental health crisis being ignored in favor of political indulgence. “A lot of these people are mentally ill.
They will not find joy in life because they’re separated from the idea of mental health,” he stated, slamming the left’s obsession with identity politics at the cost of addressing real psychological struggles.
The Worcester city council, rather than standing up for reality and reason, allowed themselves to be bullied into submission.
As Gutfeld put it, “The council just indulges this to save their own skin.”
WATCH:
Gutfeld’s takedown of the meeting was a brutal but much-needed reality check. The left continues to push these fringe ideas, and too many weak-willed politicians bow to the pressure rather than telling the truth.
Worcester’s performance wasn’t about safety or justice—it was about power and control, plain and simple.
