    I said this in the lead up to the 2024 election and I still do believe that eventually someone in the GOP will openly say the N-word live on TV and nothing will come of it.

      These guys would carry out a second Holocaust dressed as Nazi SS officers and then act offended when you call them Nazis. Not even joking, see: Russia

    We should indulge them and encourage it. Let them embrace the MAGA Nazi label with pride. Let’s see them praise Hitler and the Nazis in their stump speeches.

    They are so stupid and ignorant and arrogant that they think they can rewrite the history of WWII, as if EVERY OTHER COUNTRY ON THE PLANET doesn’t also have their history of WWII, and every one of them, without exception, has condemned Hitler for the monster he was.

    When the Revolution is underway, and a gun is at his head, he will be blubbering and denying on his mother’s life and God that he never said he wanted to be called a Nazi.

    So do we get to shoot them now? I mean we shoot Nazis, if that’s what they want to be, do we get to shoot them now?

    Jesus Christ. I don’t care about the career destroying, or canceling bullshit, but removing the meaning of a word has been the goal of this shit group for a very long time. Nazi’s also persuaded a lot of people they weren’t bad people. If he wants to take a lesson from what he is drawing from, then he should have no problem getting punched in the mouth for saying it to the wrong person.

    That’s honestly not stunning, not stunning at all, more like… expected, yes, that kind of talk is exactly what I expected of a Fox News host.

    “We need to learn from the Blacks, the way they were able to remove the power from the n-word by using it.”

    Except you didn’t use it. Twice. It still clearly has power, you fucking Nazi.

    Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld sparked outrage Tuesday with an on-air comment about Nazis and “the Blacks.”

    During a segment on “The Five,” co-host Gutfeld pushed back at current right-wing figures who are being compared to Nazis with an offensive comparison.

    He said:

    “This is why the criticism doesn’t matter to us when you call us Nazis. ‘Nazi this and Nazi that.’ You know, I’m beginning to think they don’t like us. You know what? I’ve said this before. We need to learn from the Blacks, the way they were able to remove the power from the n-word by using it. So, from now on, it’s, ‘What up, my Nazi? Hey, what up, my Nazi? Hey, what’s hanging, my Nazi?’”

    “Nazi,

    please!” replied fellow panelist Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, the former MTV VJ who now goes by Kennedy.

    Gutfeld cracked up at the comment, then responded: “Thank God you did a hard ‘i’ there.”

    Only in America could a talentless hack like Gutfeld rise to any prominence. It’s an insult to comedy that he calls himself a comedian. I literally don’t think he’s made anyone legitimately laugh in his entire career. Bargain bin Temu Tucker Carlson ass. Just shows the American dream is alive and well for failures and losers, at least if you’re willing to sell your soul.

      I tried listening to one of his monologues to get an idea “how the other side thinks” and I couldn’t finish it. From the sounds of it too I’m not sure his entire audience could finish the monologue either.

      Too many ‘comedians’ are just hate speech with a laugh track. Paired with a hateful audience, and they’ll think it’s the funniest shit ever… it’s not.

        And anytime they say something just blatantly fucked up (usually racist) they lean on anti-woke, “you’re too sensitive” bullshit
