Gutfeld Sounds Off On Democrats Becoming the Party of Theatric Stunts [WATCH]

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld took aim at the Democratic Party on Friday’s broadcast of “The Five,” sharply criticizing what he described as performative stunts masquerading as policy resistance, following the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Baraka was taken into custody after attempting to enter a New Jersey detention facility without authorization, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

The incident occurred as part of broader Democratic opposition to President Trump’s enforcement efforts on illegal immigration.

During a panel discussion, Gutfeld linked the incident to what he characterized as a longstanding trend of political theater from Democratic leaders.

“Yeah, I think you had one day, one bad day for the right, and they had to milk it for all it’s worth, commissions, you name it, throw everybody in jail,” Gutfeld said.

“They’ve done this every single day since like 1963. They haven’t stopped. Think about all the crap that the Dems are doing now. The singing, the shouting, flying to El Salvador, storming ICE.”

Gutfeld continued, “They’ve replaced law and order with performance art. The problem is, like all performance art, no one buys it. It’s one and done. It’s self-serving. It doesn’t offer any service to the community that they claim to help. No one really remembers [Democrat Maryland Sen. Chris] Van Hollen going to El Salvador.”

The Van Hollen reference pertains to a case earlier this year involving illegal migrant Kilmer Armando Abrego Garcia, who was deported to El Salvador and held in a mega-prison.

“I’m sure he would like people to forget about it. I won’t. Somebody should put out an Amber Alert for Van Hollen. Where is that douchebag?” Gutfeld said.

“That guy wasted, what? How many weeks of our lives being a self-righteous jerk?”

On April 10, the Supreme Court ruled that the administration must “facilitate” Garcia’s return to the U.S. despite reported MS-13 gang affiliations.

Van Hollen had traveled to El Salvador earlier in the year, using taxpayer funds to advocate for Garcia’s due process rights.

Gutfeld attributed this pattern of behavior to what he called “the guilty white liberal and the soft bigotry of no expectations.”

He continued, “They believe you cannot be held accountable for your actions. You’re almost too childlike to be expected to conform to civilized behavior. This is why you have the affluent white female libs, awfuls, defending extra rights for male perverts, gang members, and psychopaths.”

He closed by emphasizing what he sees as growing public backlash.

“Meanwhile, it’s American men, mothers, and wives who have said ‘Enough.’ Americans are generally pretty laid back until they’re not, and then they’ve had enough,” Gutfeld said.

“You elected Trump. The adults enter the room. These are children. This is a tantrum. They expect us to respect that. We won’t.”

After Van Hollen’s visit, four other House Democrats — Reps. Maxwell Frost (FL), Robert Garcia (CA), Maxine Dexter (OR), and Yassamin Ansari (AZ) — also traveled to El Salvador to advocate for Garcia.

According to sources cited by the Daily Caller News Foundation, the lawmakers stayed at the Hilton San Salvador, a luxury hotel with panoramic views of the capital.
