Gutfeld: ‘Absolutely Disgusting’ Mayorkas Took a ‘Crap on 9/11’

Monday on FNC’s The Five, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said that Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas’ remarks on the 21st anniversary of the September 11 attacks discussing domestic terrorism were “absolutely disgusting.”

Sunday on MSNBC, Mayorkas said, “The threat landscape has evolved considerably over the last 20 years. We are seeing an emerging threat of course over the last several years of the domestic violent extremists, an ideology of hate, anti-government sentiment, false narratives propagated on online platforms, even personal grievances.”

Gutfeld said, “That is a government official basically taking a crap on 9/11. He basically marginalized the memories of those people by equating to some kind of political agenda. It’s absolutely disgusting.”

Co-host Dana Perino said, “He did it there at Ground Zero. It wasn’t even that he was asked about it. He wanted to make that point. He said let me add the concern on domestic terrorism. That’s what you’ll see all of the Democrats do. Kamala Harris did it yesterday on ‘Meet the Press’ as well. So, you have all of that happening. In the meantime, you’ve got terrorists, the actual terrorists. They’re not on our timeline.”

She added, “You have somebody like the Homeland Security Secretary at Ground Zero saying that it’s beyond disappointing, also not surprising.”

Mayorkas Says That Mis- & Dis- Information Can Cause Domestic Terrorism

On February 7, 2022, Mayorkas and DHS issued a “National Terrorism Advisory” saying:

“The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors. These threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence. […] The primary terrorism-related threat to the United States continues to stem from lone offenders or small cells of individuals who are motivated by a range of foreign and/or domestic grievances often cultivated through the consumption of certain online content. […] For example, there is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19. Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021.”

In a press statement regarding this same issue, Mayorkas said: “Since January 2021, DHS has … increased efforts to identify and evaluate MDM, including false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories spread on social media and other online platforms, that endorse violence.”
