In a recent episode of "The Five" on FOX News, Greg Gutfeld addressed the media's narrative regarding a so-called "Maryland man" deported to El Salvador. The individual was identified as a member of the MS-13 gang, and two judges ruled he should be deported. Despite these rulings, the case has been highlighted by media outlets and political figures as a point of contention.
Jesse Watters, a co-host on "The Five," asked if the situation constituted a constitutional crisis. Gutfeld responded, saying, "You know what’s funny? I don’t care. I honestly don’t care." Gutfeld argued that the majority of Americans support the deportation of illegal immigrants, particularly those with criminal backgrounds. He pointed out the media's focus on a single individual, stating, "The last, what, 8 days? 7 days? Has been about one person. One person."
Gutfeld dismissed concerns about the individual's background or attempts to integrate, comparing the situation to a sports scenario where someone sits in another person's seat without permission. He emphasized personal accountability and the importance of adhering to processes, regardless of circumstances, stating, "He’s gotta go. But did you know he’s been trying really hard to be a good citizen? He’s really quiet."
In closing, Gutfeld criticized what he perceives as political grandstanding, arguing that the Democrats use such narratives against former President Trump, only to move on when the narrative loses relevance.
