Fox’s Gutfeld! did what real news shows used to do — call out the celebrity meltdown for what it is. The panel tore into Rosie O’Donnell’s latest histrionics with the kind of blunt humor and common-sense skepticism that America’s working families appreciate, reminding viewers that Hollywood’s tantrums are not news, they are theater. Fox’s take punctured the pretense that this is noble dissent when it’s really just performative outrage.
Over the weekend President Trump, using his Truth Social megaphone, threatened to “take away” Rosie O’Donnell’s U.S. citizenship, reviving a feud that has simmered for decades. The remark was predictably loud, designed for maximum attention, and fed the exact frenzy the left wants to manufacture about presidential overreach. It’s theater from a man who knows how to dominate the headlines, not a constitutional blueprint.
Ms. O’Donnell’s answer to defeat was to flee the country — she moved to Ireland and has publicly discussed pursuing Irish citizenship rather than toughing it out at home. For a supposed patriot who lectures Americans about values, running to the nearest welcome mat when the election didn’t go her way is rich. The Forbes reporting on her flight overseas makes it plain: this isn’t principled exile, it is the tantrum version of emigration.
If the optics weren’t comical enough, O’Donnell told Nicolle Wallace that even her therapist couldn’t understand her level of upset over President Trump, a confession that underlines the clinical nature of what conservatives have rightly called Trump Derangement Syndrome. When a celebrity’s own shrink is baffled by their daily despair about a democratically elected leader, that says more about Hollywood’s echo chamber than it does about the man they despise. This is performative victimhood in full bloom, and the Gutfeld! panel had every right to mock it.
Let’s be clear on the law: the president does not have the power to strip someone of U.S. citizenship, and longstanding Supreme Court precedent blocks such an extraordinary step. The instinct to weaponize citizenship talks like a strongman fantasy, and responsible conservatives should call out the rhetoric while defending the rule of law. The episode is a reminder that even when the left screams about authoritarianism, some of their own antics look dangerously close to the thing they claim to fear.
At the end of the day, this is a culture war skirmish, and conservatives should keep the moral high ground by exposing hypocrisy and refusing to be drawn into the same performative outrage. Greg Gutfeld and his panel did the country a service by turning spotlight back on the celebrity class that loves lecturing ordinary Americans while fleeing responsibility when times get real. Hardworking patriots deserve leaders and media who speak plainly and protect Americans’ rights without indulging in endless, self-inflicted theatrical crises.
