Here we go again with Fox and the stochastic terrorism. Sadly, we've seen way too much of this sort of stuff from the right wing propaganda network that loves to constantly rail against BLM, social justice groups, liberal DAs in Democratic cities across the country, to George Soros, to you name it.

This may be the first time I've actually heard one of them just openly call for civil war as The Five cohost Greg Gutfeld did this Thursday.

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, supposedly the right-wing network’s resident comedian, dove into extremely dark and violent territory on Thursday, seemingly urging for a new American civil war because “elections don’t work” and the nation is in “peril and chaos.”

Gutfeld, whose rhetoric has grown angrier and more extreme in recent years, declared during Thursday’s broadcast of Fox News’ The Five that American democracy was no longer feasible. Instead, because crime has supposedly spun out of control—despite homicide rates falling this year and crime just a fraction of what it was 30 years ago—he suggested a radically violent solution.

During a segment discussing the recent looting spree in Philadelphia, which resulted in dozens of people being criminally charged, Gutfeld took issue with some looters being let go with a slap on the wrist, calling it a “criminal mulligan.” In his opinion, this was analogous to the Jan. 6 insurrection, but the Capitol rioters were given harsher criminal sentences due to their race and political affiliation.

Here's the back and forth, with the transcript cleaned up from Justin Baragona who originally reported this on the social media site formerly known as Twitter.

GUTFELD: But only certain people get criminal mulligans and Jan. 6 protesters, they don’t get criminal mulligans and here’s why. They’re the oppressor, right? So the oppressed get criminal mulligans. The people that are complaining, like us, we’re actually oppressors, and we’re losing power so that’s why we are upset.

I just got a job at MSNBC. So let’s compare the rights between criminals and victims, okay? The criminals, they get a mulligan. They get to steal up to $900 worth of stuff, they can loiter, sleep, and shoot up in public areas, including playgrounds. They can loot and burn and call it social justice. They can pile up dozens of arrests and never do time.

Meanwhile, what about us? Well we have to change our lives to accommodate risk wherever we go. We have to move out of cities for the sake of the safety of our families and our own safety. That’s what’s happening. We are being driven out of cities by the oppressed.

So I return to my imperfect analogy from yesterday. We had a war over slavery. We knew slavery was inhumane and immoral, but somehow we couldn’t solve slavery peacefully.

It was an evil, but one side refused to acknowledge that it was evil because it was too big of an admission for them to make. Doesn’t that feel that way now? That this defiant refusal to reverse this decline argues against the survival of a country.

What does that leave you with? It leaves you with you need to make war to bring peace, because you have a side that cannot change, because then that means the admission that their beliefs have been corrupt all the time. So, in a way, you have to force them to surrender.

WATTERS: Or we can make love not war.

GUTFELD: Ugh, I tried that once...

FORD: Or we can have an election.

GUTFELD: ...I had to go to a doctor.

MACCALLUM: Yeah, elections!"

GUTFELD: No, elections don’t work. We know that. We know they don’t work!

FORD: They do work.

GUTFELD: Look what we have! Look what we have! We had a moderate president and we have crime exploding everywhere. We had a Democrat president promise that he was going to be moderate, promise that he was gonna unite the country and now we have a terrible education system, we have no border. We have crime everywhere. Every facet of society is in peril and in chaos because our elections don’t matter.

FORD: No, elections do matter. We don’t need to go to war for it, we go to the election booth and vote the people out who don't do things you say.

Elections absolutely do matter, and so does checking the violent rhetoric coming out of a channel that pretends to be "news." What the solution is to get the broadcast license revoked from Fox and the rest of them trying to destroy what's left of our democracy is beyond me right now, but calling out the lies and danger and making people aware of it is at least a move in the right direction.

Shame on this liar for promoting violence when he knows full well what he's doing and what the potential consequences are, and shame on Fox for promoting this kind of BS day in and day out to the point that they are desensitizing people daily to political violence. In a sane world, what they're doing would be criminal.

Sadly, that's not the world we're living in.
