Greg Gutfeld Tells Justice Roberts To ‘Shut The F Up’ Over Trump’s Deportations

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld told Chief Justice John Roberts to “shut the F up” on Tuesday after the nation’s highest-ranking judge rebuked President Donald Trump for calling on a federal judge to be impeached for disagreeing with him.

“Roberts, shut the F up,” Gutfeld said on “The Five” after Roberts waded into the Trump administration’s reaction to U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg blocking several deportation flights to El Salvador.

“Oh my God, maybe he didn’t do it the right way,” Gutfeld said of Trump using an 18th-century wartime law to deport suspected Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador.

But Trump, Gutfeld argued, doesn’t have “the luxury” of following the law.

“When there are rapists and murderers invading our country, maybe a guy in a robe in D.C. can follow all the protocols, but Trump is the effing president of the United States who protects 300 million plus people,” Gutfeld said. “This is something that a president has to do. He has to do this.”

He went on to say that “everything” Trump has said about migrants “was right.”

“They’re sending bad people. What did he say? They’re sending killers and rapists. Do you remember this?” he asked. In fact, immigrants in America have been found to commit proportionally fewer crimes than the native-born U.S. population.

Gutfeld’s comments, first reported by Mediaite, also included a joke about the president wanting to impeach a judge whose legal decisions he disagrees with. “It is really a surprise to me that Trump doesn’t follow the appropriate protocol,” he said, to laughter.

Trump called Boasberg “crooked” and said he “should be impeached” for blocking his flights on Saturday as Boasberg considered a lawsuit filed against the deportations. The Trump administration ignored Boasberg’s oral order to stop the flights, which proceeded as planned.

Roberts, speaking out immediately following Trump’s comments, said “impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”
