Greg Gutfeld was over the “total eclipse mania” on Monday by the time “The Five” rolled around on Fox News, calling the media frenzy “worse than Jan. 6” in a monologue that earned chortles from fellow panelists Jesse Watters and Dana Perino.
Revealing that he did not make an effort to commune with eclipse enthusiasts as the moon passed between the Earth and the Sun on Monday, Gutfeld joked, “In my opinion, this is worse than Jan. 6.” He added that he thinks “it’s offensive how Fox has covered these clips.”
His reasoning was more incoherent than not, but his rant for why the eclipse is problematic mostly centered on mocking “woke” talking points of ableism, access, racism and preferred pronouns with added faux disgust, comedically heightening what he sees as liberals’ concerns.
