Gutfeld Battles Marie Harf: Why Do You Avoid Saying Trump Told Capitol Protesters to Go There ‘Peacefully?’

GUTFELD: “Well, Marie, he is pointing this whole thing at you. You have a chance to respond.”
HARF: “I felt that. So, here’s the difference. January 6th was encouraged by Donald Trump.”
GUTFELD: “When he said peaceful?”
HARF: “When he said, ‘Go down to the Capitol, I’m going to be with you — ‘“
GUTFELD: “‘Be peaceful.’”
HARF: “All of his — “
GUTFELD: “Why do you avoid that?”
HARF: “Because, Greg, that does not erase the months of rhetoric where he was encouraging groups to protest the result of this election.”
GUTFELD: “Peacefully.”
HARF: “No, no, no. He took away — “
GUTFELD: “You hate — hate the words he says.”
HARF: “You hate — “
GUTFELD: “No, I’m actually saying what he said.”
HARF: “You ignore many of the words he said. To bring this to today, though, the comparison, one of the reasons these protesters are out in the streets is Joe Biden is standing squarely by Israel. Joe Biden, John Fetterman, Tony Blinken, these are the people in the administration who are standing so squarely by Israel that a lot of progressives are angry at them. So the difference is, Donald Trump encouraged political violence from his supporters on January 6 — “
GUTFELD: “No, he didn’t. You didn’t prove that.”
HARF: “ — and Joe Biden is doing something these protesters are angry about, because he is refusing to back away from Israel. And the one question he answered when he gave remarks last week was, ‘Have these protests changed your policy?’ And he said, ‘No.’”
GUTFELD: “I don’t think Trump ever encouraged people to get in other people’s faces. The Democrats did.”
HARF: “He absolutely did. 100%.”
GUTFELD: “Show me that clip.”
HARF: “I will roll that footage.”
GUTFELD: “All right, I gotta go to judge. We gave you your chance, Marie.”
