Fox News host Greg Gutfeld tore into Juan Williams on Friday's "The Five" after his co-host tried to blame President Donald Trump for inner-city violence.

Gutfeld had just concluded a monologue slamming white antifa "laughable losers" and stating that he had more in common with "black winners than white losers."

"What ties us together is achievement and not grievance," Gutfeld said. "So white winners and black winners are on the same side, and stay away from the white losers because they are poisoning the minds of everybody. That will end racism if all the winners of every race and color joined together and laugh at the losers."

Stating he was there to "defend" his "white brothers," Williams launched into Trump's lack of messaging on what his second-term agenda would be.

When co-host Jesse Watters tried to insert the reality of burning cities, Williams went back to groups "abandoning Trump," who is "engaged in these kinds of horrible imagery and language because he doesn't have a message."

"He's not killing people in Chicago," Gutfeld insisted. "He's not looting, Juan. These things are actually real. They're not fantasies. True, he could do a better job. He could do a better job facing these problems. We agree with that, but you can't lay those problems on him as somehow he is conjuring this stuff up in order to win an election."

"This stuff is real," he continued. "People are suffering, Juan. They're suffering in Chicago, they're suffering in Minneapolis, they're suffering in New York, they're suffering in Atlanta, they're suffering in Dallas, they're suffering in California, and you go, 'isolated incidents.' Wake up, Juan! You've got to wake up to this and start helping your party face the truth."

"I think the truth is we have had black on black crime in this country for a long time and I think the incumbent is Donald Trump," Williams shot back. "If he was about healing, reconciliation, if he was doing something to deal with those problems, maybe he would have a better case. Maybe he would have something to say about bringing Americans together."

amerikans r too antagonistic to cooperate, except for the ruling elite---even Jesus cannot remedy this....the vast majority of blacks murdered are by blacks. Latinos, not whites---this does not forgive the murder of the career criminal G Floyd....trumps is the normal US president, although slightly less imperialist and racist than others

smertzasmert "this does not forgive the murder of the career criminal G Floyd" - The MURDER? From what I can see from the toxicology report he had a heart attack from excessive Fentantyl (sp?).

This language that is being thrown around regarding this incident is astounding, it is like people are trying to inflame passions. Just like that bloke that attacked the store owner, then a cop, then got shot attacking the cop - 'Hands up, don't shoot' was the narrative and the dumbed-down masses bought it.

America is toast, truth has left the building.

Spur I had to go back and find out who that punk was, it was some POS named Michael Brown.

Then I remembered other pumped-up cases, remember Travon Martin being shot in self-defense by Zimmerman? Yep, more MSM narrative that was BS.

Then there was Armaud Arberry, you know the bloke that 'Jogging while black'. Forget the surveillance cameras of him in the residence that was being stole from. Forget him trying to resist arrest by a citizen and fighting with him and trying to take the shotgun away from him.

Then there was the recent 'Wendy's' incident. Rayshar Brooks was worried about going back to jail and resisted arrest. Beat on a couple a cops, took a taser and was trying to escape, tried to shoot the chasing cop with the taser and 'made a bad decision'. - What the hell, just burn the Wendy's down in support of BLM.

I'm so over these BS narratives.

I agree that Trump could do better at taking the high road and trying at least to heal some of the acrimonious seething division. However it’s not his fault that cities are burning, statues are felled or that corporate media/Dems/progressives tacitly/overtly give cover for this lawlessness.
