Online Circulation of the Clip
In a clip circulating online, Gutfeld began by noting how it feels to be called a bigot and then said that if the woman truly wanted to understand the Palestinian cause she should visit Gaza. He added that she would be “greeted” there — he contrasted “open arms” with what he described as arms aimed at her face, and quipped she could use her scarf to bandage a head wound.
Gutfeld's Characterization and Remarks
Gutfeld also characterized a correspondent as a “cranky” anchor and said the interaction was lighthearted teasing. He referenced an earlier Washington, D.C. encounter in which a police officer accused the protester of appropriating Palestinian culture as part of his remarks.
Public Reaction
The segment has drawn attention for its provocative language and for suggesting the woman put herself in a dangerous situation as a way to prove her solidarity.
