Greg Gutfeld Calls For Civil War Because ‘Elections Don’t Work’ in Bizarre Rant

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld argued that “elections don’t work” and called for a second civil war during a fiery rant on The Five, on Thursday.

During a segment on the recent looting in Philadelphia, Gutfeld said:

Let’s compare the rights between criminals and victims. Okay, the criminals they get a mulligan. They get to steal up to 8-900 dollars worth of stuff; they can loiter, sleep, and shoot up in public areas, including playgrounds; they can loot and burn and call it social justice; they can pile up dozens of arrests and never do time. Meanwhile, what about us? Well, we have to change our lives to accommodate risk wherever we go. We have to move out of cities for the sake of the safety of our families and our own safety. That’s what’s happening, we’re being driven out of cities by the ‘oppressed,’ so I return to my imperfect analogy from yesterday.

We had a war over slavery. We knew slavery was inhumane and immoral, but somehow we couldn’t solve slavery peacefully. It was an evil, but one side refused to acknowledge that it was evil because it was too big of an admission of them to make. Doesn’t that feel that way now? That this defiant refusal to reverse this decline argues against the survival of a country? What does that leave you with? It leaves you with you need to make war to bring peace because you have a side that cannot change, because then that means an admission that their beliefs have been corrupt all the time, so in a way you have to force them to surrender.

Co-host Jesse Watters replied, “Or we could make love not war,” to which Gutfeld joked, “I tried that once. I had to go to a doctor.”

“Or we have an election,” weighed in former Democratic Tennessee Rep. Harold Ford Jr.

Gutfeld shot back:

Elections don’t work. We know that. We know they don’t work. Look what we have. Look what we have. We had a moderate president and we have crime exploding everywhere. We had a Democrat president promise that he was going to be moderate, promise that he was going to unite the country, and now we have a terrible education system, we have no border, we have crime everywhere. Every facet of society is in peril and in chaos because our elections don’t matter.

Ford Jr., seemingly riled up by Gutfeld’s rant, pointed at the Fox News host and said, “No. Elections do matter. We don’t need to go to war for it, we go to the election booth and vote the people out who don’t do the things you say.”

“Oh, I wish I was as naive as you, Harold,” Gutfeld concluded.
