Greg Gutfeld Says ‘Douche’ Democrat Senator Was Lucky ‘He Wasn’t Flattened’ By DHS

Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld said Thursday on “The Five” that “douche” Democrat California Sen. Alex Padilla was lucky the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) didn’t flatten him.

Security at DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference removed Padilla Thursday after he tried to shout questions at her before identifying himself as a lawmaker. While discussing how Padilla had no pin and has been described as forcefully lunging at Noem, guest host Emily Compagno asked Gutfeld if he would describe the senator’s move as a “stunt.”

“Do we have to keep reminding Democrats that Trump was nearly killed 11 months ago? It was a fraction of an inch away from death. They still don’t take that seriously,” Gutfeld said. “They spent more time on Elon Musk’s salute. Do you remember that?”

“So this douche thinks he can plow in after his party spent, I don’t know, how many years demonizing Trump and, by extension, supporters and his cabinet. You don’t know what security is gonna do. He was lucky he wasn’t flattened,” Gutfeld added. “If they’d acted differently, who knows what would have happened?”

Noem held a press conference Thursday to discuss the riots occurring in Los Angeles before the lawmaker began shouting a question at the secretary. Quickly after speaking out, security rushed to Padilla, telling him to put his hands up.
