Fox News host Greg Gutfeld turned a “Five” conversation about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s authenticity into a sexist punch line about the Democratic congresswoman from New York.

Panelists on Monday viewed a clip from a recent Memphis, Tennessee, rally where Ocasio-Cortez was accused of using a fake Southern accent, leading to mockery and debate on the show about her future political impact.
But Gutfeld went incredibly low.
“I think she’s an absolute genius,” he began facetiously. “I want to just read that quote again. I’m going to tell you why, OK? ‘We cannot afford to leave Tennessee behind, [Kentucky] behind, Alabama behind, Mississippi behind, Georgia behind, South Carolina behind.’ She mentions behind six times, and all I’m thinking about is her behind!”
The co-host seemed to be looking for a hearty response from colleagues — which he did not get.
After alleging that AOC avoids debate, Gutfeld attempted to book-end his previous troll.

“She’s never had to explain anything, which is why almost everything she says isn’t memorable except for when she mentions her behind six times,” he said.
Ocasio-Cortez previously accused another Fox News host, Jesse Watters, of sexualizing her when he asserted that the House progressive wanted to “sleep with” White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller. She rejected Watters’ interview overture and called him a pervert.
Gutfeld’s misogynistic comment might guarantee that Ocasio-Cortez won’t be appearing on the right-wing station for the foreseeable future.
