Steven Crowder Criticizes Greg Gutfeld for Stance on Chauvin Verdict

“I am not a huge fan. He is very much a quisling for the higher-ups, he will say anything he needs to say to get paid and he is probably the biggest gossip I’ve ever known.”

Political podcaster Steven Crowder ripped Fox News host Greg Gutfeld for what he called a “cowardice” take following the Derek Chauvin verdict Tuesday.

Gutfeld was co-hosting on The Five when he said, “I’m going to get really selfish…I am glad that he (Chauvin) was found guilty on all charges because I want a verdict that keeps this country from going up in flames.”

Crowder said he tried to avoid bringing up Gutfeld’s comments on his show because he knows Gutfeld.

“I am not a huge fan. He is very much a quisling for the higher-ups, he will say anything he needs to say to get paid and he is probably the biggest gossip I’ve ever known.”

Fox host Judge Jeanine Pirro objected to Gutfeld’s statement, “we do not sacrifice individuals for the sake of how someone feels.”

Crowder further criticized Gutfeld suggesting that his place of residence isolated him from reality.

“Keep in mind that a lot of these people at Fox News or a lot of these even conservative pundits working at other networks, choose to live in New York City and they are somewhat out of touch.”

Dan Abrams: Someone in Donald Trump’s Inner Circle Could See Charges

“For the first time, I think there’s a real possibility a member of Donald Trump’s inner circle could face criminal charges related to Jan. 6,” Abrams said on Thursday’s edition of “Dan Abrams Live.”

The hearings into the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol remain ongoing, and following the raid on former Trump Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark this week, anchor Dan Abrams has a bold belief.

Abrams, the founder of Mediaite and anchor on NewsNation, considers that for the first time, someone from former President Donald Trump’s inner circle could see criminal charges.

“It’s generally seemed to me that the criminal inquiry into Trump and his inner circle in connection with Jan. 6 wasn’t going anywhere. I’m talking about what I actually think is happening, that’s all.”

Abrams stated the latest hearing and the Wednesday raid on Clark are what altered his view on whether anyone could end up seeing charges.

“What we learned today changed my analysis. That’s because federal investigators just raided the home of former trump department of justice lawyer Jeffrey Clark,” Abrams added.

“He was the guy heading the justice department’s environmental division who Donald Trump tried to put in as acting attorney general could see was apparently the only one within the DOJ willing to support the effort to overturn the 2020 election.”

Finally, Abrams conveyed that the raid’s timing before the hearing could examine Clark’s role could lead to something significant when facing jail time.

“To get authorization to raid his home now, the day before the Jan. 6 committee held a hearing examining Jeffrey Clark’s role in trying to overturn the election, suggest to me that they believe they suddenly could have something big,” Abrams concluded.

News Media Reacts to Supreme Court Overturning Roe v. Wade

There was no shortage of news media reaction when the official overturning of Roe v. Wade came down, some celebrating it while others shared concern.

In a decision many already knew was coming following the leaked draft, the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling, overturned Roe v. Wade, which is the landmark enactment that established the constitutional right to abortion.

Since 1973, women have been permitted abortions during the first two trimesters of pregnancy in the United States; however, now the decision on this matter will return to the states, with a good portion expected to outlaw or severely restrict abortion.

There was no shortage of news media reaction when the official ruling came down, some celebrating it while others shared concern for what’s to come a post-Roe v. Wade United States.

Roe v Wade has been OVERTURNED!

This is a victory for 63 million innocent babies who have been killed – lost generations, who could not speak for themselves.

A victory for LIFE!!!

Again: It has become necessary to dissolve the Supreme Court of the United States.

This is no longer a court. It is a Minority imposing its religious beliefs on the Majority: our House of Lords; Superlegislature; Theocracy.

Where possible, states must ignore its invalid edicts.

Whether you are pro-abortion or not, this was the right decision legally. You may not like it, but you were lied to by the Roe & Casey justices who told you abortion was a constitutional right. This Court set things straight & now it’s where it belongs: in the hands of the ppl.

Something that's hard to convey to people who don't walk in their shoes: there are a lot of women walking around today who aren't just sad. They're frightened. They're terrified.

Apologies. I’ve been in a funeral the past couple of hours & am just now able to read the opinions. Initial reports were 6-3, but that was only to uphold MS law. Roberts didn’t sign on to overturning of Roe, which means conservative justices still have targets on their backs.
— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) June 24, 2022

The Supreme Court overturned Roe, 50 years of precedent, with a 6-3 hard-right majority which includes 5 justices appointed by GOP presidents who lost the popular vote, 2 credibly accused of sexual misconduct, & 1 in a totally stolen seat.

No wonder there’s a legitimacy crisis.
— Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) June 24, 2022

I'm old enough to remember when Gorsuch, Barrett and Kavanaugh put their hand on the bible and told us that Roe was settled law that wouldn't be altered.
— Chip Franklin.com (@chipfranklin) June 24, 2022

Joe Biden making clear he wants to run on abortion. "This fall, Roe is on the ballot," he says. Good luck with that 2022 strategy.
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) June 24, 2022

This must be the most pro-death “pro-life” Supreme Court in history. More guns, more death penalty — and more babies? I guess with all the killing, we’re going to need more people? Is that the rationale? Just awful. #Roe #abortion
— Van Jones (@VanJones68) June 24, 2022

It's not like the conservative movement has been hiding its intentions. We've spent 40 years being open and transparent about moving the Court right and people seem freaked out we actually did it. And all that means is you gotta work at the state level now.
— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) June 24, 2022

conservative legislatures will attempt to keep residents from traveling to other states to obtain abortions; will try to keep companies from providing out of state abortion benefits; will try to punish out of state doctors who provide abortions to their residents
— b-boy bouiebaisse (@jbouie) June 24, 2022

This is a state’s rights issue but now we are in for the 2 extremes, neither of which is good. On demand is ridiculous and disgusting BUT banning is counterproductive. You’re not gonna stop abortions, you’re just gonna stop safe ones. SAFE, LEGAL, RARE. #RoeVsWade
— Tomi Lahren (@TomiLahren) June 24, 2022

Another reason to be cautious about making immediate political predictions: A lot of people didn't know this was about to happen or realize what effects would be, including the lower-engagement people who are likelier to be swing/infrequent voters.
