‘Who Replaces Him?’: Greg Gutfeld Warns If Cuomo Goes, NY Could Go ‘From The Outer Circle Of Hell To The Inner Circle’

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld warned that getting rid of Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo could backfire.

Gutfeld joined his cohosts on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Five” to discuss calls for Cuomo’s resignation following the conclusion of an independent investigation that determined he had sexually harassed a number of women and had violated both state and federal laws.

Gutfeld warned that even if it was necessary for Cuomo to resign — or face impeachment – there was a very real possibility that New York could elect someone who would do a worse job as governor.

“He’s like King Kong right now at the top of the building swatting at the planes,  still clutching a woman,” Gutfeld began, adding, “I don’t think he’s going to last.”

Gutfeld then pivoted to ask, “Who replaces him? The people — we might be going from the outer circle of hell to the inner circle of hell if we get James or de Blasio — these are people who have no compassion about victims of crime,” Gutfeld continued, noting that Democratic Attorney General Letitia James and Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio were among the possible replacements.

“He’s got to go, I mean, 11 women? We should just sit back and let the process take care of it,” he added.

Gutfeld then addressed CNN anchor — and Gov. Cuomo’s brother — Chris Cuomo, who did not cover the investigation report on his show Tuesday.

“Chris Cuomo is just lucky, he doesn’t have to ever cover big ugly stories. He can play with a Q-Tip but he can’t talk about the nursing homes. He can talk about how his bro is ready to mingle but he can’t talk about the crimes with women. It’s oddly convenient,” Gutfeld concluded. “I would say that CNN could have — they should have him on as a guest. CNN should have Chris Cuomo on as a guest. Therefore he doesn’t run the segment and they could ask him questions.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
