Greg Gutfeld has been hit with a backlash for comments he made on the Tuesday, July 15, episode of The Five.

During a debate on the Fox News show, Gutfeld addressed how MAGA-supporting conservatives often get branded “Nazis” and he then compared the term to the N-word. “The criticism doesn’t matter to us when you call us Nazis. Nazi this and Nazi that,” Gutfeld said on air. “I’m beginning to think they don’t like us. 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.”


He continued, “So, from now on, it’s, ‘What up, my Nazi? Hey, what up, my Nazi? Hey, what’s hanging, my Nazi?’”

His cohost Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, who goes by Kennedy, went on to quip, “Nazi, please!” Laughing at her response, Gutfeld stated, “Thank God you did a hard ‘i’ there.”

Viewers were quick to criticize Gutfeld’s comments via social media. “A decade ago this segment would have ended someone’s career on television, and that was probably a good thing,” one person wrote via X on Tuesday, while another said, “So they’re just fully comfortable calling themselves Nazis now. Got it.”

Another person stated via X that Gutfeld’s comments were not “comedy” but were offensive. “You’re spitting on the graves of Holocaust victims and mocking centuries of Black suffering for clout,” the social media user wrote. You don’t sound ‘provocative’—you sound like two dusty cousins at Thanksgiving dinner trying to out-racist each other before dessert.”

A different X user questioned, “Holy crap is this what the country has become?” A different person quipped, “I did not have republicans admitting that they are in fact Nazi on my 2025 bingo card.”

“This is a masterclass in telling everyone you have absolutely no understanding of history, race, or power dynamics,” another unhappy viewer posted. “Equating a slur rooted in 400 years of chattel slavery with a political identifier for a genocidal death cult that people choose to align with is so profoundly stupid it’s almost impressive. This isn’t edgy. It’s just a rich guy on TV trying to downplay fascism. Pathetic.”

Among the X responses were some people defending Gutfeld and the stars of The Five. “NOW THIS IS AMERICA. MORE OF THIS,” one person declared, while another wrote, “Love this 😆😆😆.”

Another person tweeted, “Lots of Dems posting crazy remarks because that is all they know how to do. Get a real life!” A separate person added, “I get his point but it’s not true anymore. Just look how triggered leftist losers are in the comments.”

    “So they’re just fully comfortable calling themselves Nazis now. Got it.”

    That pretty much sums it up.

    Everyone is so completely missing the point he’s making. He’s not literally calling himself a nazi. He’s using sarcasm to make a point of the hypocrisy with these words.

      The educated intelligent black people don't go around greeting each other with N word. I have never heard Byron Donalds, Jefferies, Obama, Westly Hunt. Because you hear rappers and other ghetto people do this, you have the idea that this is accepted in our community? I am black person, and I have had numerous black supervisors and have never greeted them this way.

      My parents were born and raised during Jim Crow. They completed college and graduate school. We lived in a middle-class black community. I may not agree with Clarence Thomas, Tim Scott, or even Kamala Harris, but these are the examples of black achievement. Just because you see these ghetto rappers degrading and disrespecting each other this what is accepted our community. We hear women of both races calling each other the b word in lyrics but does that mean what is acceptable. I have never heard Jefferies say " N" word to Corey Booker

    The N word is in allot of rap songs. And Some ( not all) blacks still jokingly call each other that. Thats what Greg was doing was calling out the Hypocrisy. But Libs latch on to anything if they (wrongly) think they can Create controversy out of it.

      Many blacks like me, find the use of N word offensive in rap music. Why do you think this is just black libs? Why can't you understand that black republican and black educated people don't use this word? Hypocrisy? When does Jefferies, Obama, or Corey Booker use this word? How do you know if they listen to this kind of music from rappers and think it is acceptable? It is a controversy in the black community. Many blacks are against this. The blacks like Jefferies who may or may not say Nazi, have you heard them use this term or talk about how they like to hear rap singers using term. If you are saying hypocrisy, you are saying these democrats are using this term to greet each other, so we should use the term Nazi. I have never heard them do this. Give me some examples when you have heard them using this term or spoke about how this was acceptable. Haven't heard one rapper who uses the n word, call the right nazi. The ones who using nazi aren't the ones who call each other the n word. Give some examples of those rappers who are using the n word and then calling the right nazi.

      In case you didn't know the n word has been a big controversy in the black community. What he is saying is the blacks in Congress and The Senate who have used this term Nazi or the same blacks who are using the N word. It isn't the rappers who are using the term Nazi. He has just insulted the blacks in Congress and The Senate. He is saying they greet each other " hey n " so since they are doing that we can call each other Nazi. He " the way blacks have removed the use of the n word". if he wants to say black rappers that is one thing, but say blacks, you can't speak for me.

        All I can say is I honestly don’t think Greg G. was Trying to offend black people. Though apparently he did. I don’t know him on a personal basis but I honestly don’t think he’s a racist. And Neither Am I by the way. I served in the military with people of all races and religions and ethnic groups etc. I had friendships with blacks that were more than just friendships but Brothers. If My comments offended then I apologize. Blacks who do use the N word don’t represent All blacks so I’m sorry if I gave that perception. Now there Have been allot of people on the ( Not all but To Many) Liberal Left that refer to those of us on the conservative right as Nazis and Fascists. Having numerous relatives that fought in WWII to stop these ideologies that really stings and in My view is as bad as the N word. Please see my next post.

          One of the best friends I ever had was a black man ( deceased) that was a WWII veteran. He was a tank commander and lead commander of a whole tank squadron of the first and only all black tank division. He and I were pretty close. He gave me allot of insight about his life before, during, and after WWII. He would get filled with hot rage about Holocaust deniers as he saw many horrific examples of it. We didn’t discuss politics much at all but he gave me the impression he was moderate to right. He was a great man. In closing I don’t think Greg was Trying to offend black people ( neither was I ) but intent doesn’t matter the fact is obviously we both Did offend so I apologize.

    People don't understand satire and parody anymore. And they certainly never did understand "illustrating absurdity WITH absurdity." He even SPELLS IT OUT for them and they're STILL too dumb to get it.

    I can't wait for him to make fun of their stupidity over this tonight.

      It isn't satire. It is sad to think that all blacks embrace the N word. I never hear Obama greeting Corey Booker " hey n word". You hear rappers saying the N word, and people think this is acceptable . My parents were raised in Jim Crow, and worked to hard to get a college and graduate degree, to think that it is ok for blacks to go up to each other saying hey " n " It isn't stupidity to think that many blacks think that this word shouldn't be used towards each other or anytime.
