This week on The Five on FOX News, Greg Gutfeld made a striking claim: the current concerns surrounding Joe Biden’s cognitive decline are more significant than the infamous Watergate scandal. While he appears to be poking fun at the left’s penchant for exaggerating Trumpâs misdeeds as Watergate-level offenses, thereâs a serious undertone to his assertion.
Gutfeld highlighted the frantic efforts by Democrats and mainstream media to distance themselves from the unfolding controversy, insisting that we cannot simply let this slide. A reckoning is necessary, he argues.
He also emphasized the implications of the scandal on national security, suggesting that it poses a serious risk.
Hereâs a partial transcript from the discussion, courtesy of Real Clear Politics:
GUTFELD: This situation makes Watergate look like a mere parking violation. We shouldnât just move forward; we need to reflect on the past. There are claims that cabinet members doubt the presidentâs reliability during nighttime crises.
PERINO: Absolutely.
GUTFELD: This implies that Biden was essentially a candidate for the 25th Amendment during his presidency. How do we know this? We learned it only recently, on May 15, 2025, long after the fact. The book that reveals this isnât really about Joe; itâs more about the authorsâ failures. If the information was so critical, why wasnât it disclosed sooner?
If this had been Trump, any information of this nature certainly wouldnât have waited for a book release. Remember, during that period, Trump was not even in office yet he was labeled as an existential threat to democracy. Meanwhile, they were covering for a president who was incapable of fulfilling his duties. This is utterly absurd.
This issue is so monumental that I suspect the authors intend to downplay it, hoping we just forget it. But we must resist this urge. Itâs a significant matterâwe were deceived.
This is by no means a closed chapter, especially with audio from the Hur interview beginning to surface. Congressional hearings are essential.
