Fox News host compares reclaiming ‘Nazi’ to Black people reclaiming the ‘N-word’
Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld says he’s “learning from the Blacks” as he attempts to rebrand one of history’s most violent
Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld says he’s “learning from the Blacks” as he attempts to rebrand one of history’s most violent labels as a punchline.
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld doesn’t care about being called a Nazi. In fact, he plans on incorporating it into his daily vocabulary. During a segment on “The Five,” Gutfeld dismissed criticism likening Trump-era politics and GOP rhetoric to Nazi behavior. Rather than engage with the substance of those comparisons, he leaned into them.
“This is why the criticism doesn’t matter to us when you call us Nazis,” he said. “Nazi this, Nazi that. I’m beginning to think they don’t like us.”
“You know what, we need to learn from the Blacks [and] the way they were able to remove the power from the n-word by using it. So from now on, it’s ‘what up my Nazi?’ ‘Hey what up, my Nazi?’”
The show’s co-hosts could be heard chuckling in the background, while one woman chimed in with a sarcastic, “Nazi, please.” To which Gutgeld responded: “Thank God you did a hard ‘i’ there.”
