Greg Gutfeld says "elections don't work" and "society is in peril and chaos because our elections don’t matter" while urging for a new American civil war.

In the following tweets, I will transcribe everything he says in this clip, because it goes into some very dark territory.

"Only certain people get criminal mulligans and Jan. 6 protestors, they don’t get criminal mulligans and here’s why. They’re the oppressor. So the oppressed get criminal mulligans. The people who 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, ok? Criminals get a mulligan, they can 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 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."

Jesse Watters: "Or we can make love not war."

Greg: "Ugh, I tried that once–"

Harold Ford Jr.: "Or we can have an election."

Greg: "–I had to go to a doctor."

Martha MacCallum: "Yeah, elections!"

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

Harold: "They do work."

Greg: "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."

Greg: "We have no border. We have crime everywhere. Every facet of society is in peril and in chaos because our elections don’t matter."

Harold: "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..."

The End.
