Fox News Channel host Greg Gutfeld argued that some on the left were sincerely adopting ridiculous parodies of political correctness on Thursday’s broadcast of “The Five.”

Gutfeld reacted to a report in McClatchy that some women believe referring to Hillary Clinton by her first name is sexist by pointing out that he previously joked that referring to Clinton by her first name was sexist because “that’s a girl’s name.”

Gutfeld, “my tactic has always been to extend liberal beliefs to the absurd, until the argument can only tip in my favor. Those comments were about Hill’s supporters, who label any criticism of her as sexist. If you call her secretive, that’s sexist. If you call her entitled, that’s sexist. I took it a step further and apparently, this DC reporter listened and found one person, one person to agree with me.”
