Fox News host Greg Gutfeld ripped into members of the media for the double-standard used to treat purported Trump supporters versus activists for left-wing causes, such as Black Lives Matter.

Gutfeld gave an impassioned, roughly 4-minute monologue on Thursday’s episode of “The Five” on Fox News. His remarks came a day after hundreds of purported Trump supporters rioted in the U.S. Capitol over the outcome of the election.

“Vandalism and looting, whether it’s in D.C. or Portland, SoHo, Kinosha, Minneapolis, Seattle – it’s all bad no matter who’s doing it. So we must remain consistent. That’s what makes us different from the rest. We don’t play favorites with mobs. The other side does, but we don’t,” Gutfeld began.

“It’s hard for me personally because I was outraged over violence every single day this summer. I saw my neighborhood trashed. Still, I condemn this equally because we aren’t them. We are better than them.”

Gutfeld said that many members of the media made excuses for vast amounts of violence and destruction that broke out around Black Lives Matter protests this summer. Major cities across the United States suffered extensive damage from rioters who broke into and looted stores, set fire to police headquarters and other buildings, and beat and killed bystanders.

“I heard a pundit say that ‘even Republicans are outraged by this behavior.’ Duh! Republicans are always outraged by bad behavior because they consistently, consistently embrace law and order and condemn the destruction of private and public property,” Gutfeld said, later adding: “By pointing out Republicans, or non-liberals like me, who are equally outraged by this behavior, what you’re doing is you’re pointing out also the inconsistency, right? The lack of Democrats who weren’t doing this when our cities were in flame.
