Greg Gutfeld used his platform on Fox News The Five to criticize comedian Kathy Griffin and a cadre of liberal celebrities for backing Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayoral race, arguing they champion policies whose real-world costs they never personally bear.
According to Gateway Pundit, Gutfeld contended that these Hollywood figures are insulated from the fallout of progressive governance, living behind gates and security while ordinary residents endure crime, homelessness, and urban decay. He framed their activism as a form of moral preening that preserves a failed status quo rather than demanding accountability from Democrat leadership.
Gutfeld went further, casting Griffin as a symbol of the citys decline. Kathy Griffin thinks that Bass should have another term, so she is a microcosm of the city of Los Angeles itself. Under disrepair, plagued by mental illness, money is thrown at remedies that do nothing to solve the underlying rot.
He likened cosmetic fixes in politics to cosmetic surgery in Hollywood. You can keep having face lifts, just like you can keep reelecting Democrat mayors, but it does nothing but keep the catastrophe alive. It never gets any better, it just gets worse. And that podcast is worth noting, because shes a progressive, blue celebrity. Just like Jane Fonda, just like Sam Jackson. They all endorsed Bass, and if she wins, it has no effect on them whatsoever.
Gutfeld also blasted celebrity charity efforts as performative, recalling star-studded fundraising that lacked transparency and follow-through. It is just like all the celebrities who donated their time and money to the fire relief concert. Once it was over, they had no reason to see if the money got there. They dont care, they did their deed. A hundred million dollars. No one knows where it went. It did not go to the victims.
With primary results looming, conservatives see the contest as a referendum on whether Los Angeles will continue down a hard-left path or seek a course correction. If a candidate like Pratt cleans up, it would signal that voters still believe in restoring order and responsibility, but if Karen Bass or an openly far-left candidate prevails again, many on the right will read it as confirmation that the city has chosen decline over reform.
