Greg Gutfeld Slams Tim Walz Over Overseas Remarks About Trump During ‘The Five’ Segment [WATCH]

During a segment on The Five, co-host Greg Gutfeld criticized Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz following remarks Walz made about President Donald Trump while attending an event in Barcelona, Spain, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

The discussion centered on Walz’s participation in a political gathering overseas, described as a left-leaning summit. During the broadcast, Gutfeld argued that Walz’s comments about Trump while abroad reflected negatively on the United States.

“The reason why he gets a warm embrace there is because they don’t know what he’s done. The only way he can get any recognition is if they don’t recognize him. Who is this guy? They don’t like Trump, he doesn’t like Trump, that’s okay. Again, it’s a Trump alignment problem.

If Walz goes abroad to bash Trump, he’s also bashing America because he’s the agent for America, and he’s seeking out an audience that actually appreciates it. He is, in effect, a traitor. But we already knew that,” Gutfeld said during the segment.

Gutfeld continued by discussing the broader role of political opposition in the United States, stating, “Now I will defend Democrats because they are the opposition party, and you really only have one role: opposition.

This is why when we talk about how politically divided we are, it’s true, but it’s also kind of baked in the system. You can’t expect the Dems to embrace the Republicans when the Dems aren’t in power. That’s how it works. However, you do expect fierce opposition with a measure of responsibility, you know?”

He then used a sports analogy to describe his view of political conduct, adding, “If there are two boxers in the ring, you don’t — there’s an agreement one isn’t going to enter the ring with a switch blade. But they have decided that Hitler — or Trump is Hitler, therefore you can suspend the rules. You can unleash lawfare, you can create hoaxes, you can involve foreign actors, and you can fly to other countries to trash the president because he’s different. He’s different. But this is still the same thing. It’s still treason.”

The remarks were highlighted in coverage by Media Matters, which published a transcript of the exchange.

Walz’s comments in Barcelona were not included in the segment transcript cited, but the discussion on the program focused on criticism of U.S. political figures speaking negatively about the president while appearing before international audiences.

The segment addressed ongoing political divisions in the United States and the role of elected officials in representing the country abroad. Gutfeld’s comments reflected his position that criticism of the president in foreign settings carries broader implications for how the United States is viewed internationally.
