“Don’t play that bull**** with me,” Gutfeld hit again, rising more and more offended. “What I’m saying is there was no demonization amplification about that girl earlier than she died. It was a particular crime in opposition to her by any individual that knew her. Then you definitely’ll convey up Josh Shapiro, however you’ll not convey up that that was a pro-Palestine particular person.”
He continued, “The actual fact of the matter is the each side argument not solely doesn’t fly, we don’t care. We don’t care about your each side argument. That s*** is lifeless.”
