EXCLUSIVE | Fox News staffers and insiders told The Daily Beast that Greg Gutfeld's recent comments that Jewish people “had to be useful” in order to survive concentration camps were a “disgusting thing” for the network’s resident “comedian” to say.
“Obviously, it is a disgusting thing to say, same with Jesse’s remarks on the matter,” one Fox News producer said. “Just generally speaking, I’m amazed that FOX has any ability to retain employees from multicultural backgrounds. Our workplace is shockingly diverse given the vitriol that often makes it to the air.
Trump impeachment whistleblower Alexander Vindman, who is also Jewish, was far more blunt than Kristol. “While it is true that some Jews may have used their skills or usefulness to increase their chances of survival during the Holocaust, it is essential to contextualize this statement properly and understand that it does not represent the complex history of the genocide perpetrated by Nazi Germany,” the museum wrote in a lengthy statement.
“Therefore, while it is accurate to acknowledge that some Jews may have survived temporarily due to their perceived usefulness, it is crucial to remember that the Holocaust was a systematic genocide with the ultimate aim of exterminating the entire Jewish population,” the statement concluded. “It would be more appropriate to say that some Jews survived the Holocaust because they were considered temporarily useful, and the circumstances of the Nazi regime's collapse prevented their murder.
“Moreover, the main argument in Frankl’s book was more about how those who had something to live for–a relative they wanted to be with, a book they wanted to write, research they were in the middle of, etc.–had a better mental chance of surviving because it motivated them not to give up,” he added.The White House, for its part, took issue with Fox News for not speaking out about Gutfeld’s remarks.
While Gutfeld has relished taking on the role of Fox News’ “edgy” provocateur who is unafraid to take contrarian positions, such as
