Greg Gutfeld criticized the media’s “lockstep anti-Trumpism,” calling it one of the “most destructive” movements of the past decade, asserting that it rivals “wokism” in its negative impact.

In a detailed post shared Tuesday on X, the Fox News host argued that many of the “horrible decisions” of the past ten years—ranging from crime and illegal immigration issues to COVID-19 policies and concerns over President Joe Biden’s mental fitness—can be traced back to the legacy media’s efforts to excuse or deny these problems.

Gutfeld claimed this was done to justify what he described as their “irrational opposition” to President-elect Donald Trump.

“Crime. If you admitted that progressive policies energized criminality and cost many innocent lives – that would put you on the side of Trump,” Gutfeld wrote on the X platform as one of his examples. “‘So, you can’t do that,’ decides the media, so theft and violence became routine. Recidivism exploded.”

“Immigration. If you admitted that unfettered illegal immigration stressed all our country’s systems, as well as introducing more violent crime — that would put you on the side of Trump,” he added. “‘You can’t do that,’ decides the media. So, it kept going, and people died.”

“COVID. If you admitted that COVID came from China, likely a lab leak — then you were on the side of Trump,” Gutfeld continued. “‘So you [can’t] do that either — that would be racist,’ said the media. Instead, we embraced absurd notions about bat soup.”

the most destructive movement of the last ten years wasn't just wokism. it was the media's lockstep anti-trumpism. think about all the horrible decisions related to the biggest calamities we faced. they were excused or denied by the media, because of their irrational opposition…

Gutfeld pointed out that if a person reported on the idea that Biden “was unfit for office” that was just another example that “you were siding with Trump.”

He noted further that those in the media decided that reports “must say that Joe is better than ever, and those who disagree are cruel,” which resulted in “a rudderless country sinking in chaos.”

“Looking back — it’s obvious. A mass delusion driven by bitterness, ego and an emotional infantilism brought this country to the brink,” the Fox News host said. “So when the media starts hitting the panic button, laugh at them. They caused this mess. We’ll clean it up. They no longer matter.”
