The White House called out Gutfeld and slammed the news anchor’s comments as a “horrid, dangerous, and extreme lie.”
“What Fox News allowed to be said on their air yesterday — and has so far failed to condemn — is an obscenity,” Deputy White House press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement to CNN.
“In defending a horrid, dangerous, extreme lie that insults the memory of the millions of Americans who suffered from the evil of enslavement, a Fox News host told another horrid, dangerous and extreme lie that insults the memory of the millions of people who suffered from the evils of the Holocaust.”
