Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld went off script and left cohosts utterly speechless
You can’t silence Greg Gutfeld. He will say his piece and be honest about it.
But Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld went off script and left his cohosts utterly speechless in an epic rant.
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld tore into Democrats on The Five for dodging their role in building the chaotic world that sparked a deadly shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minnesota. The attack, carried out by a trans-identifying man, left two children dead and at least 17 others wounded, spotlighting how leftist policies twist young minds into violence.
Officials named Robin Westman, a man in his 20s, as the shooter behind the Wednesday rampage. During the show’s discussion, co-host Dana Perino pressed Gutfeld on Democrats’ rush to shield the “trans community,” reminding him of his past warnings that such tragedies would repeat.
Gutfeld fired back without holding punches. “Yes, this is why none of these a-holes can lecture anyone on compassion. The most compassionate people on this planet are trying to stop the trans delusion,” he said. “The least compassionate are the people in the media, academia, and politicians who enabled this hysteria of horror. What is so glaring about the trans cult? Apparently, your identity is the only thing that matters until you do something awful. Then it’s the least important variable.”
He kept hammering the point. “Then you look at everything else. You talk about guns, but you suddenly, it’s all of a sudden like, oh, we can’t talk about that. What was it? The other trans shooter, that they actually hid her identity,” Gutfeld added. “In this manifesto that this creep wrote, he said he was tired of being trans and that he had wished he had never brainwashed himself. What more do you need straight from the monster’s mouth? Politicians, activists, teachers, you built this. You could have listened to the warnings. We were talking about this on this show for years.”
On the day of the bloodshed, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, used his press briefing to rally around trans individuals. Frey declared that anyone using the shooting as “an opportunity to villainize our trans community” or others “has lost their sense of common humanity.”
Other Democrats pivoted to blame guns and President Trump, ignoring the shooter’s mindset. Ex-White House press secretary Jen Psaki posted on X that “prayers” are “not freaking enough” to halt school shootings, pushing for tighter firearm restrictions.
Gutfeld called out the Democrats’ role in promoting transgender ideas to kids, including surgeries and hormones. “You amplified a hysterical, literally hysterical phenomenon that was going no place good. You created a poisonous program that twisted young minds for destruction, a nihilistic place to be when you deny biology and they have nowhere to go,” he said. “So all of these media arguments, what you’re seeing there among those people, it’s to escape their own culpability and the reality that they created.”
He wrapped up by tracing the violence to leftist ideology. “So forget the layer of mental illness and gun control. The origin of the evil lies in the creation of a mindset that indulged a delusional self, ruining connections with fellow human beings,” Gutfeld said. “So that trans, by ascribing extreme aggrieved mentality, then gets directed against society. So this person feels justified in k*lling children. His k*lling resulted from that ideology. And if you don’t believe that, you’re one dumb a**hole.”
Westman’s story shows the personal toll of this push. In 2019, he legally changed his name from Robert to Robin after claiming female identity. Court files from the Minnesota Star Tribune reveal that as a minor, his mother—who worked at the targeted church—filed for the change, stating it was needed because Westman “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”
Disturbing videos linked to Westman’s YouTube account displayed guns, ammo, and hateful messages like “Where is your God?,” “6 million wasn’t enough,” “k*ll pedos,” and threats against President Trump. His manifesto confessed regret, admitting he “was tired of being trans,” wishing he had “never brainwashed” himself with the ideology.
This incident lays bare how the left’s transgender agenda wrecks young lives, fueling mental breakdowns and rage. Conservative analysts point out that forcing gender confusion on kids spikes anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts, as seen in rising cases where youth regret transitions pushed by schools and activists. Reports from groups like the Heritage Foundation warn that this ideology creates contradictions, letting people redefine reality while ignoring biological facts, leading to isolation and instability.
Beyond transgenderism, the left’s embrace of Marxism in schools adds fuel to the fire, teaching kids to see America as oppressive and themselves as victims in endless class wars. This constant drumbeat of division erodes mental stability, breeding hopelessness among teens who absorb critical theory in classrooms, turning education into indoctrination camps. Heritage experts note that cultural Marxism infiltrates curricula, raising a generation on ideas that dismantle family values and personal responsibility, resulting in higher rates of emotional turmoil.
Studies tie leftist policies to worse mental health outcomes, with data showing higher mental illness among progressives who prioritize grievance over grit. By promoting unstable environments—like defunding police while glorifying victimhood—the left crafts a society where young people feel entitled to lash out, as in Westman’s case.
The push for “equity” over excellence in education, rooted in Marxist ideals, leaves kids unprepared for real life, amplifying stress and alienation. Critics argue this agenda deliberately sows chaos, making youth more dependent on big government while shattering their sense of self.
As America grapples with these tragedies, it’s clear the left’s playbook—mixing transgender experiments with socialist teachings—builds a pipeline to despair and destruction. Real compassion means rejecting these delusions and restoring sanity for our kids before more innocents pay the price.
