Greg Gutfeld Defends Tucker Carlson Against Leaked Clips

Former Fox News host Greg Gutfeld has come to the defense of his former coworker Tucker Carlson after multiple clips of the former host’s off-camera remarks were leaked this week. Gutfeld took to Twitter to respond to a new clip from Media Matters for America that showed Carlson engaging in what Gutfeld called “casual comments” between two people who work together.

Gutfeld’s Response Goes Viral

“Imagine having to tell your parents that your job is narcing on the casual comments of other people while they, happily unaware, make a living,” Gutfeld snapped back. “Your parents would be so embarrassed and ashamed they’d rather tell their friends you died in a fire.” At the time of this publication, Gutfeld’s response has been viewed more than 2.5 million times.

Gutfeld Slams “Hall Monitor Failures”

Gutfeld hasn’t held back his thoughts on “hall monitor failures” like Media Matters and The New York Times who have been disseminating videos seemingly to damage the reputation of the popular ex-Fox News host. “Apparently everyone understands nonsense banter between segments except for hall monitor failures bitterly chronicling the lives of the far more successful,” Gutfeld replied.

Megyn Kelly Joins the Defense

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly also slammed the leaked clips, saying they are clearly an orchestrated “destruction campaign.” “This is absurd. OK, this is absurd,” she claimed. “This is a destruction campaign and the media is going along with it without one thought for how they’re participating in what is an internal work dispute, allowing themselves to be used as tools of Irena Briganti who runs the Fox evil communications department and her bosses who are clearly allowing all of this.”
