GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): One more thing, you know [Gov. Gretchen Whitmer] pointed out that she saw swastikas at the rally, and she didn't -- and she did. I think she did see them.

But there's a distinction, the protestors were comparing her action to fascist dictators. It wasn't that there were Nazis there. It was that they were unfairly -- they were unfairly comparing her to Hitler, which is wrong.

But one should make that distinction because what she was saying was that there were Nazis there, just “I saw swastikas."
