‘Pathetic and Disgusting!’ Greg Gutfeld Erupts on ‘Marxist Agitprop’ Teen Vogue Over Alexi McCammond Resigning
Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld went on a tear against Teen Vogue Friday in defense of Alexi McCammond, the newly-announced editor-in-chief who resigned after internal backlash to her past tweets.
McCammond announced she’s parting ways with Conde Nast following outcry from Teen Vogue staffers over tweets she sent out years ago using homophobic slurs and making derogatory comments about Asians.
Some journalists have come to McCammond’s defense, including former colleague Jonathan Swan, who said, “If we can’t as an industry accept somebody’s sincere and repeated apologies for something they tweeted when they were 17 years old — I mean, what are we doing?”
Gutfeld started Friday by saying Teen Vogue is “basically Marxist agitprop” and told the co-hosts, “Is this practice still worth it? Is it still worth it if you can take down ten other white people but you have to sacrifice one young Black woman who probably doesn’t deserve it?”
He told co-host Juan Williams “I’m so disappointed… in you” and asked, “Where are the mentors?”
Gutfeld brought up MSNBC’s Joy Reid and the scandal over homophobic posts on her old blog to ask, “Given her experience and her success, shouldn’t she have the guts to demand Conde Nast stick to their guns and fire their damn news staff — because they can — and protect this young woman?”
“What about Don Lemon?!” Gutfeld continued. “Don Lemon has a voice! He’s successful, he’s Black. Why doesn’t he come to the aid — where are the mentors of color who are defending these people?”
He concluded by saying, “Conde Nast are a bunch of cowards, they’re pathetic and disgusting.”
Williams responded, “Greg, this has nothing to do with race. I don’t think it’s right to bring race into this.”
Gutfeld laughed and said, “Okay, Juan, way to miss the point. I said stand up for people!”
“You said, ‘Where are the Black mentors?’ I don’t think that’s what this is about, Greg,” Williams said.
Gutfeld brought up Swan’s comments and said, “Come on!”
