Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said the quiet part out loud for Democrats fearing that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could win as a third-party candidate, effectively stomping on President Joe Biden’s re-election fantasies.

Gutfeld praised RFK Jr. for daring to tell the truth even if he doesn’t agree with everything he espouses. He asserted on “The Five” Wednesday that if Kennedy ran as a third-party candidate he would beat Biden.

Prior to that bombshell prediction that moved the earth beneath Democrats’ feet, Jeanine Pirro noted the utter lack of support for RFK Jr. by the Democratic Party in the wake of his appearance during a Fox News town hall with host Sean Hannity.

“Why are so many people supporting Biden and not RFK?” Pirro wondered aloud.

“Team sport, perhaps. But he did say two things that were interesting to me. The system is rigged and Americans are being lied to. Who does that sound like?” Gutfeld asked knowing full well it echoes the sentiments of former President Trump which his co-hosts pointed out.

RFK Jr: “We don’t have free market capitalism in this country. We have corporate crony capitalism. It’s all designed to strip the middle class of all their assets. COVID lockdowns were the final straw. We moved $4 trillion from the American middle class to the super rich.” pic.twitter.com/PCEBhghaTP

Gutfeld then alluded to the oddity of conservatives liking Robert F. Kennedy Jr., noting that all of it leads back to despising Joe Biden.

“But before I pay compliments to Kennedy, I have to bring up what Jessica says that when Republicans embrace someone who’s running for president on the other side, you should suspect it’s not purely for altruistic purposes,” he laughed while citing leftist co-host Jessica Tarlov.

“So, I mean, a lot of Republicans really do like him, but it’s probably because he you know, he could really hurt Joe,” Gutfeld contended.

Then he laid out how RFK Jr. would win as a third-party candidate.

“But the problem with the party and this is why I think he should run as a third-party candidate because I do think he should, he would win, is because his party’s radical elements, what we call the woke, have embraced this fascist clampdown on language, which is what we were referring to,” he commented.

“If you have opinions that aren’t accepted by that group, they will come after you. They will try to destroy you. It’s one of the most substantial political and moral flips in history, recent history where the party that fueled the free speech movement is now fueling its opposite,” the Fox News host pointed out.

Gutfeld continued raging at the left’s censorship.

“It’s incredible. I mean, they talk about the banning of books and they can’t cite one, but they are constantly targeting people for speech, for language opinions all the time,” he remarked.

“The White House is going after private citizens over speech. It’s incredible,” Gutfeld remarked.

He especially thought that Kennedy’s viewpoint on the war in Ukraine was spot on.

“I thought his analysis of the war was dead on. We don’t talk about the war that much anymore because there’s not a lot of good news coming out of there. But and it’s hard for conservative Republicans and, you know, to admit that America has a role in this happening,” Gutfeld stated referring to Kennedy accusing the US of fueling Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Twenty years ago, I wouldn’t buy into it. But the world has changed. And he’s challenging my assumptions. And I think he’s in a weird way, another flip, you’re seeing Republicans who are becoming antiwar and Democrats pro-war,” he concluded, showing just how much the world is upside down politically these days.
