Pirro Clashes With Gutfeld Over Actor’s Brawl With Bikers: ‘He Threw the First Punch’
The Five co-host Jeanine Pirro clashed with her colleague Greg Gutfeld on Tuesday over a viral video that showed actor Ian Ziering brawling with a group of bikers.
“The new year starting with some chaos in liberal cities. Hollywood celebrities are now getting attacked,” opened Jesse Watters on the show, before playing the clip of Ziering brawling with the bikers on a Los Angeles road.
Gutfeld weighed in, “This is the perfect analogy, an encapsulation of a country of men finally hitting their limits, right?”
He continued, “This should be an inspiration to everybody in the new year. That dude is in his sixth decade, and even though he was running, he was swatting these little brats away like they were flies.”
Pirro responded, “Anybody who commits a crime where it’s five-on-one, it’s a gang assault, they go to jail, okay? But let’s pull the veil back a little bit. Who got out of the car? He got out of the car. He left his 10-year-old daughter in the car, alright? What did he do when he got out of the car? He punched the biker. What did he do when he got out? He knocked the biker off the bike.”
She went on:
This guy is the guy who assaulted them first and his statements are so legally vetted it’s not funny… He not only threw the first punch, they were on their bikes when he was out of the car punching them, and he literally knocked a guy off the bike.
Now let me tell you, I’m a prosecutor at heart. Everybody, as far I’m concerned, violates the law goes to jail. This guy says he got out to assess the damage to his car. He had no damage to his car. If he’s worried about his daughter, stay in the car. If you are worried about your daughter, you don’t get out and start a fist fight with people on bikes and then run across the street while she’s alone in the car!
After Gutfeld protested, “He drew them away from the car, he’s a hero,” Pirro burst into laughter.
“No, he is! He is,” Gutfeld insisted. “He understood there was a threat.”
“All he had to do was lock the doors,” argued Pirro, to which Gutfeld replied, “No. That’s cowardly.”
Pirro concluded, “He threw the first punch, he knocked them off the bike.”
