As he often does, “The Five” co-host Greg Gutfeld, who also has a supremely successful late-night program on the network, let Democrats have it with both barrels — verbally speaking — over their sudden interest in NYC subway performer Jordan Neely after he died following a sustained chokehold from a former U.S. Marine after Neely demonstrated violent behavior.
“The left really appreciates Jordan Neely now that he is dead. They didn’t give two Fs about him when he was alive, so they do not deserve to be listened to. Al Sharpton says if you are not at risk, do nothing, then Joy Reid says if you don’t do something, you should be charged. Again, they do not deserve to be listened to,” he began during a Friday segment.
“[NY Gov. Kathy] Hochul said, you know, that could be you. Assuming that we, society, would identify with an unhinged, violent felon, threaten people, who have attacked women and children. That could be you. No, no, no. When you say that could be you, governor, you should be talking about the bystanders who are now the target of losers like you, Hochul,” Gutfeld continued. “That could be you. You could be the bystander on the train who decided to share the risk and do something to save somebody else, and you could be the target. That could be you. That is the story, you moron.

“This is how it works. The left hamstrings the police and creates a vacuum where security used to be, and then when it gets really, really bad — the Bernie Goetz moment — the citizens step in, and then they become the target. You saw that with [Kyle] Rittenhouse and the McCloskeys, the goal is to make that vacuum permanent,” he continued. “So this revolution through chaos, burn it all down, is endless, no matter what happens, right? Right? Obama got elected, burn it all down. Right?
“The police improve, they start training, and they start doing better things, you have a majority-minority force, burn it all down. Doesn’t matter,” he continued. “In the minds of the radical left, it’s always going to be burn it all down. Now we are seeing more video of the deceased, right, accosting people, using homophobic language, the F word — that F word — the N-word, right.
“It’s strange that this beloved Michael Jackson performer is a relentless menace, and the media did not want to tell you he was a relentless menace and it was only going to happen this way. This was not the beginning of this story. This was the end of the story,” he said.
“The city had this problem for years. This show, a few others, were the canary in the coal mine. It wasn’t ‘The View,’ it wasn’t AOC. Hochul, Hochul scoffed when we brought up the crime stuff during the election, remember? She said it was played up. And now she’s sitting there acting like she is compassionate. Shut up!” he said.
“It’s her incompetence, her inaction, that created this moment in time, where young men, young men stepped up and did the job she was too cowardly to manage or do.”
