A Senator Got Pepper-Sprayed, and Greg Gutfeld’s Response Was Brutal

While Americans spent Memorial Day honoring the fallen, New Jersey Democrats turned an ICE detention facility in Newark into the scene of a political circus. What was billed as a protest outside Delaney Hall quickly spiraled into chaos, complete with screaming activists, clashes with law enforcement, and a sitting U.S. senator getting pepper-sprayed in the middle of the mayhem.
And while the media was using footage of Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) getting his eyes flushed out after being pepper-sprayed to push their preferred narrative, Greg Gutfeld wasn’t buying into the propaganda. On Tuesday’s edition of The Five, he immediately trashed the Democrats for their stunt, particularly the day they chose to do it.
“It took place on Memorial Day," he said. "The message is clear. Illegal immigrants, no matter how criminal they are, take priority over dead soldiers."
That framing set the tone for everything that followed. Gutfeld wasn't interested in sympathy for Sen. Kim. The optics of a senator clutching his face outside a detention facility might have generated wall-to-wall coverage on the left-wing networks, but Gutfeld called out the real problem.
"We would rather foment anti-American spectacles on Memorial Day than express support for our country," Gutfeld said. "It's like throwing mud at a bride at our wedding. We do not celebrate this day."
