Greg Gutfed commented on an arsonist setting Fox News' All-American Christmas Tree ablaze and said it connects to Democrats' soft on crime approach
The tree, which reached a height of 50 feet, took 21 hours to assemble and was adorned with 10,000 glass ornaments and 100,000 lights. The attack was symbolic on multiple levels, the co-hosts of "The Five" said.
"The tree basically represents the kind of random violence that is fueled by mental illness that has become pretty much part of everyday city life," Greg Gutfeld said.
"There are criminally deranged people living on our streets, and we're merely … part of some weird experiment where progressives had never really thought about what happens when you allow unstable and dangerous people into the general public. Well, they assault women … [and] there's lots of property damage, and now you see a tree getting burned down."
