On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Five,” FNC host Greg Gutfeld stated that Melania’s defense of her husband over the allegations of sexually inappropriate conduct are “exactly what Hillary did and it’s exactly what we were making fun of Hillary for.”

Gutfeld said, after seeing a clip of Melania’s defense of her husband during an interview with “Fox & Friends,” “[T]his is exactly what Hillary did and it’s exactly what we were making fun of Hillary for. Hillary standing by her man. Hillary, besmirching the women that were with Bill, and she says that…it was a coordinated thing, and she also said women come up to her husband all the time and hit on her and give her phone numbers. So, she was dismissing it. She was dismissing — no, but it’s an important point to make. It’s very important. It’s — now, what it has done, effectively, is remove that criticism. You can no longer go after Hillary on that.”
