Fox News Channel’s Greg Gutfeld might be known for his comedic take on the news, but his reaction to recent remarks by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts proved that he doesn’t think this is a laughing matter.
Roberts made the unexpected move of issuing a statement denouncing President Donald Trump’s call for a federal judge to be impeached over a ruling against his administration’s effort to deport dangerous criminal migrants.
The Hill reported on both Roberts’ comments and Gutfeld’s on-air rebuttal:
“The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose,” the chief justice wrote.
Gutfeld, a vocal supporter of Trump and one Fox News’s top-rated hosts, pushed back on Roberts wading into the president’s fight with U.S. District Judge James Boasberg.
“When there are rapists and murderers invading our country, maybe a guy in a robe in D.C. can follow all the protocols, but Trump is the effing president of the United States who protects 300 million plus people,” Gutfeld said on Tuesday’s episode of “The Five.”
“He is a leader who does not have the luxury of opening up his little books to read.”
The comedian and cable news host told Roberts to “shut the F up.”
Roberts attracted a wide array of social media criticism in the wake of his statement:

Chief Justice John Roberts is pushing back against Donald Trump’s demand to impeach Judge James Boasberg
Why was he silent when:
– Trump’s home was raided
– Trump’s name was being removed from the ballot
– Trump was almost k*lled
– Trump was on trial for bogus charges pic.twitter.com/So61MJvYnw— Alec Lace (@AlecLace) March 19, 2025
John Roberts didn’t have any press conference or press rebukes to offer when Biden repeatedly proclaimed he was ignoring a SCOTUS ruling on student loans.
We have a big problem in our judiciary branch with compromised judges, like Boasberg, who are held accountable BY NO ONE

Mediaite also covered Gutfeld’s blunt reaction:
It blows my mind how wrong I was in 2016. or 2015 when Trump came down the escalator and we were, I was, I can’t believe he said these things. Everything he said was right. They’re sending bad people. What did he say? They’re sending killers and rapists. Do you remember this? Some of them were good people.
Some of them were good people. And now he’s sending them back. He’s sending them back. You know, political disagreement among parties is normal, but the Dems complain about things that Trump might do. They look at this, what might he do next? Ooh, what could he do? He could do this somewhere else.
But when you look at the Dems, you see what they’ve actually done, not what they might do, but what they’ve done. For example, they’re trying to prevent rapists and murderers from being deported. They allowed perverts into female safe spaces. They allow surgical experimentation on kids. They defend those who materially support Hamas. They defend no cash bail that expanded recidivist criminality. They- I could go on, my point being, we don’t have to make up the crap that they do. The only way they can survive is by hypothetically imagining what Trump will do next because he’s right in the present moment.
And here’s what Trump himself had to say on the topic:
PRESIDENT TRUMP RESPONDS TO JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS: IT’S A PRESIDENTIAL JOB TO REMOVE DANGEROUS ILLEGAL ALIENS FROM OUR COUNTRY, THAT’S NOT FOR A LOCAL JUDGE TO BE MAKING THAT DETERMINATION .
