Last week’s Gutfeld! panel cut through the nonsense like a wake-up call to hardworking Americans, ripping into the latest parade of left-wing theatrics as the Democrats tried to turn everyday politics into a permanent costume party. The segment zeroed in on the nationwide “No Kings” protests and the absurd theater around an AI-generated video that mocked protesters, proving once again that the left prefers signal over substance.
Across scores of cities, the so-called “No Kings” rallies drew massive crowds and massive coverage, with establishment outlets breathlessly chronicling every chant while ignoring the violence and chaos that often shadowed these events. The truth is the country is tired of performative outrage masquerading as civic virtue, and ordinary Americans are sick of elites applauding mob tactics while lecturing the rest of us.
President Trump’s reposting of an AI video lampooning those protests set off the predictable pearl-clutching from Hollywood elites, who rushed to sanctify their own fragile sensibilities while handing out moral absolution to rioters who burn and loot. Gutfeld’s crew rightly pointed out the hypocrisy — celebrities wagging their fingers at a satirical clip while cheering a movement that’s expressly hostile to many Americans’ values.
Let’s be honest: for the Democratic Party this has become Halloween every day — permanent costumes, permanent outrage, and permanent demands for censorship whenever satire punches back. Conservatives aren’t naive to the theater of it all; we see the coordinated narratives, the selective moral panic, and the desperate attempt to weaponize culture against anyone who dares to push back. Opinion isn’t a crime, and mocking hypocrisy is not only fair play, it’s necessary in a healthy republic.
What Greg Gutfeld does that the mainstream press won’t is name the game: the left’s culture of performative victimhood is a political strategy, not a civic appeal. When anchors and comedians trade in lectures about decency while defending mobs and weaponized outrage, they’re not standing for democracy — they’re playing dress-up with our freedoms. Americans should reject that game and demand real substance from the people who claim to represent them.
Patriots should cheer commentators who refuse to bow to theater and who remind us that strength, humor, and plain-speaking are virtues, not vices. If the media wants to keep treating politics like a costume contest, conservative voices will keep pulling off the masks and showing the country the people hiding behind them. The choice is simple: honest leadership and real results, or endless Halloween.
