Gutfeld says there’s one reason ‘swamp rat’ conservatives are backing Kamala: ‘It trumps everything’

August 29, 2024 | | Print Article

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld gave a black eye to so-called conservatives who signed a letter endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in her run for the White House.

In his blistering monologue on “Gutfeld!” the host called out the more than 200 “petition-signing pansies” who denied reality and chose to publicly endorse the “most liberal presidential candidate of our lifetimes.”

Gutfeld referenced a USA Today article that reported that the endorsement came in the form of an open letter and was signed by more than 200 Republican ex-staffers of former President George W. Bush, the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT).

“Of course, we have plenty of honest, ideological disagreements with Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz. That’s to be expected. The alternative, however, is simply untenable,” reads the letter which also claims that former President Trump’s returning to the White House would “irreparably damage our beloved democracy.”

“Staffers worked for McCain, George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, meaning the same people who were also once deemed a threat to democracy by the Dems,” Gutfeld pointed out. “How quickly the stupid forget.”

“So how is it that 238 genuine conservatives are so offended they’re fleeing the GOP to glom onto the most liberal presidential candidate of our lifetimes? A lady unburdened by the weight of brain cells,” he wondered.

“But the answer, as ever, is one word: Trump. And it trumps everything. It’s never policy because they never mention it. Instead, they prattle on about nebulous fears while catering to a party that imports killers and rapists because, apparently, ours aren’t up to the job. And they wrote a similar letter in 2020,” Gutfeld continued.

“So how’d that work out? We know. It’s like being circumcised with a spork for the past four years. We could go through the list of disasters from the border to Afghanistan, crime, inflation, not to mention the odd staffing decisions,” Gutfeld said. “So shouldn’t these truth-tellers at least admit their endorsement came at a cost? Or could it be it didn’t cost them at all?”

He noted that the animosity is because Trump “refused to do it their way.”

“So, in a way, it’s like suing the doctor who saved your life because he shaved your head to cut the tumor out. So now they’re on the warpath like Liz Warren at a Columbus Day parade,” he quipped.

Gutfeld pointed out that these same Republicans were maligned by the left just as Trump is now, noting examples like George W. Bush being called a war criminal, Romney called a bigot and a cracker while McCain was “the old reactionary bigot who’d bomb Iran and cause World War III.”

“They’re really just swamp rats terrified of the orange monster because he flipped the script. When Trump came along, nothing went according to plan,” Gutfeld said, reminding everyone that there are “approved pipelines to produce candidates.”

“And Trump unclogged that pipeline with a fire hose filled with Ex-Lax,” he added, noting how Trump “broke the mold” and continues to do so as evidenced by recent endorsements from former Democrats Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

“So if you’re truly radical, a rebel in the purest sense, how can you not do the same?” Gutfeld asked, adding that they see the former president as “scary.”

“So, this is the moment when you ask, do you want to join a petition of **** or a pirate ship full of scary people?” he continued.

“The great thing about being on a pirate ship — you’ve already decided that you don’t give a **** what people think. You are free, freer than those petition-signing pansies,” Gutfeld concluded. “Unlike them, you aren’t desperate for acceptance. You are your own person. You don’t need to belong. You just need to be honest, especially on Nov. 5.”
