Greg Gutfeld slams Dartmouth for cancelling in-person event with Andy Ngo

On Tuesday, Greg Gutfeld and guest hosts on his Fox News show tore into Dartmouth College for cancelling their in-person talk with The Post Millennial editor-at-large Andy Ngo and ex-Antifa member Gabriel Nadales over what they claimed were "safety concerns."

The Turning Point USA-sponsored event, titled "Extremism in America, a Discussion on Antifa," was set to occur before a live audience on January 20, 2022.

This event was changed to a virtual one following threats of violence from Antifa members.

"His talk about leftist violence was shut down in silence," said Gutfeld. "Antifa threatened him over his stance. So Dartmouth surrendered like France. And so fascist threats are empowered by a school that acts like a coward."

"Ultimately, Dartmouth pulled the plug due to safety concerns, which is the worst excuse I've heard since I can't go out with you, you're too attractive. And so Dartmouth's commitment to free speech is as strong as Brian Stelter is commitment to Jenny Craig," he joked.

Guest Ari Fleischer said that the cancellation of the event is "everything that’s wrong with the country" at the moment.

"This is everything that's wrong with this country right now. This is what we were talking about earlier with the ACLU. He has every right to go to that campus and give a speech and this, this practice of the left and shutting down voices they don't agree with, in uniform and with support of school faculty and school administrators, this is the problem," said Fleischer.

Guest Guy Benson, host of The Guy Benson Show, noted that the cancellation on Dartmouth’s part "incentivizes" more the action from Antifa in the future.

"Yes, sort of making the point for Andy and proving the thesis of the talk. This is the pure hecklers veto. It is horrible. It incentivizes more of this stuff," said Benson.

Benson noted that he spoke at Brown a few years ago, and despite hecklers and petitions calling for his event to be cancelled, the school still allowed the event to occur.

"A few years ago, I spoke at Brown, which is a very far left Ivy League School, and there was the normal yelling and screaming and they wrote a petition this whole manifesto," said Benson.

"And Brown stood up to the mob and said he's going to speak we're protecting free speech. If you're Dartmouth right now, and you're getting shown up by Brown on this stuff like what's going on in Hanover? That's embarrassing," he added.

Guest Kat Timpf noted that because of Antifa’s actions to try to cancel him, Ngo has gained popularity.

"I don't know if they realize it or not, but like, it’s horrible that this happened, it’s horrible that they beaten him up. But he's got a bigger career because they keep doing this," said Timpf.

"There was one of the Antifa members saying, oh, like I'll pay you if you beat him up or whatever, that's what he claimed. It's like, well, no, he got paid, because of what you guys did. He's now even more famous and well known for exactly this. So, obviously, it's a horrible thing," she continued, noting that "they're not accomplishing what they think they are."

Frequent guest Tyrus joked that these Antifa members have been removed from Twitter for threatening violence, adding that those who have been canceled can come to Fox News and get a show.

"Well, the good news is, is that I'm sure Twitter cancelled their accounts immediately for those you know, threats and stuff. So, that's a good -- at least those guys, they don't they can't use social media anymore," said Tyrus.

"We're very positive to that. But, you know, I think for every person regardless of whether you're whatever your side of the fence you are, if you're cancelled, you're not given a voice," he added.

"Well, I kept thinking about what would be a good show for Saturday nights. It's the canceled platform. So, if you're cancelled, come to Fox and you get an hour and you can do your stick," he said.
