Fox’s Gutfeld: If Trump’s So Evil, Why Do Critics Need to ‘Make Up Evil Stuff About Him’?

By now you may have heard about the viral video from a few days ago appearing to show President Trump ignoring a boy in a wheelchair. Trump did not ignore him, as the unedited video shows, and tonight Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld went off on Trump opponents for just making things up to attack him on.

J.K. Rowling in particular spread the video, going on an anti-Trump tweetstorm in reaction to it, though she did apologize today.

Gutfeld said that generally, people should take a skeptical approach to videos like that, but “few did, figuring that Donald Trump is so evil he doesn’t deserve such courtesy”:

“If Donald Trump is so evil, why would you need to make up evil stuff about him? The stuff should be right in front of you. Maybe you realize in quieter moments that he may not be as bad as you think. Perish the thought.”

Jesse Watters agreed with him about the Democrats viewing Trump and the Republicans as “evil,” saying, “The Democrats need to keep this charade up because it allows them to smear Republicans.”
