Earlier this week, as reported by the Gateway Pundit, the city of Worcester, Massachusetts, was thrust into the national spotlight when trans activists fervently demanded the city be labeled a ‘sanctuary city for trans people’ at a city council meeting. The meeting’s footage, due to its dramatic nature, quickly went viral, capturing national attention.
On FOX News’ The Five, the incident was a hot topic, with various opinions being offered by the hosts. Greg Gutfeld, known for his candid takes, delivered what some consider the most impactful response. Gutfeld criticized the scene, suggesting that the entire ordeal was driven by “melodrama queens.” Reflecting on the event, Gutfeld remarked, “Harold [Ford Jr.], you’re acting like this is real. This is not real.” He elaborated, drawing a parallel to a hypothetical scenario where people would demand the removal of healthy limbs, questioning, “Would you sit there and apply the same kind of logic?”
Gutfeld did not shy away from addressing the fear observed among city council members, claiming, “The only fear that you are experiencing is the city council terrified of them.” He argued that the activists’ actions were largely for show, calling the fear “performative,” and stated, “If they did not even go to this, no one would care. They would not know who these people are.” According to Greg, these activists thrive on the attention and chaos they create, living off the perception that they are being targeted.
Further into his commentary, Gutfeld clarified his view that these individuals were “not trans” but rather “trans activists,” dubbing them “melodrama queens.” He maintained that the city council’s reactions were attempts to “save their own skin,” highlighting the tragic aspect of the scenario, “a lot of these people are mentally ill. They will not find no joy in life because they’re separated from the idea of mental health.”
Gutfeld’s stark description of the situation challenges the liberal media’s portrayal of similar events, urging viewers to see through the “attention-grabbing tactics” and consider the broader implications of indulging such behaviors. He asserted that catering to activists by treating them as a collective bloc ultimately harms their mental health, stating, “You feed their attention.”
This bold critique underscores the power dynamics at play, with city leaders reportedly capitulating under pressure due to fear of backlash. Gutfeld’s comments fuel the debate on media bias and highlight the importance of examining such issues with a critical lens, especially in today’s politically charged environment.
