Fox News host Greg Gutfeld offers his insights on how former President Trump can effectively counter the "very fine people" hoax and other false narratives during the upcoming CNN Presidential Debate.
In a recent episode of his show, "Gutfeld!," Fox News host Greg Gutfeld provided his perspective on the upcoming CNN Presidential Debate and the challenges facing former President Donald Trump. Gutfeld emphasized the importance of Trump debunking hoaxes and countering the false narratives spread by his opponents.
Gutfeld pointed to the recent debunking of the "very fine people" hoax by the fact-checking website Snopes. This hoax, which falsely claimed that Trump had called neo-Nazis in Charlottesville "very fine people," has been widely used to discredit Trump. Gutfeld argued that this debunking should serve as a warning against falling for similar hoaxes in the future.

"The left has been spreading this crap like jam across Brian Stelter's chin," Gutfeld said. "But we've been calling it out from the start. It's only taken the left seven years to finally cop to the fact that the 'very fine people' hoax was actually a hoax."
Gutfeld also highlighted Joe Biden's reliance on false narratives, such as his citation of the "very fine people" quote as a reason for running for president. Gutfeld argued that Biden's presidency is based on a lie that he and the media sold to the public.

"Joe Biden's entire presidency is predicated on a lie that he and the media sold the public," Gutfeld said. "And you'd do so without needing an Adderall suppository."
Gutfeld predicted that the January 6th Capitol Riot would be a major focus of the debate, with Biden likely to use it as a political weapon against Trump. Gutfeld argued that Trump should push back against this narrative, emphasizing that he did not encourage violence and that the protests were largely peaceful.

"If they made it any more of a holiday, there would be a mattress sale," Gutfeld said. "So expect Jake and Dana to push January 6th like a hot dog cart up Sixth Avenue."
Gutfeld offered advice to Trump on how to respond to Biden's expected attacks during the debate. He suggested that Trump could snarkily comment on Biden's age or pivot to discussing Hunter Biden's alleged corruption.

"I can't believe I'm going to say this, but perhaps he should quote former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo," Gutfeld said. "The attorney general's case in New York, frankly, should have never been brought."
Gutfeld also predicted that Trump would likely raise concerns about Biden's mental fitness during the debate. He noted the media's tendency to scrutinize Trump's every word while overlooking Biden's numerous gaffes.

"Whereas Biden can run into walls. He can fall off the stage. He can fall up the stairs," Gutfeld said. "It's funny because it's true."
Despite his suggestions for aggressive responses, Gutfeld also advised Trump to consider a more conciliatory approach at times. He suggested that Trump could express sympathy for Biden's age and suggest a break from his government service.
"There are just some things you can't do anymore, like walking and talking, managing the leadership of the free world, and also taking a leak in under eight minutes," Gutfeld said. "But maybe don't say that, Mr. Trump. Perhaps just keep it short and sweet and say, Joe, you had a good run-- 50 years on the government dime. Maybe it's time, Mr. President, to give this country a break."
