Television host Greg Gutfeld criticized a group of left-wing activists who traveled to Cuba and stayed in luxury accommodations during a widespread blackout, contrasting their experience with the conditions faced by ordinary Cubans.
Speaking alongside video clips of activists and commentators, Gutfeld described the trip as disconnected from the realities on the island, where residents have faced longstanding shortages and infrastructure issues.
“So far left activists went to Cuba and stayed in five star hotels while the rest of the country had a total blackout. Because nothing says fight the power when no one else has any, and nothing says solidarity, solidarity with the oppressed like maid service and a mint on your pillow,” Gutfeld said.
He added, “It’s their version of MTV spring break. But instead of Carmen Electra, you get Greta Thunberg. The Cuban people are eating rationed rice in the dark, and these clowns are chowing down on $20 Snickers bars.”
Gutfeld continued, “Call it Safari communism Club Med, but red nibbling on ceviche while real Cubans swim past sharks to get to Miami.”
Video shown during the segment included footage of a performance by Irish rap group Kneecap, where fans could be heard chanting, “Free, Free Palestine.”
Gutfeld reacted to the chant, saying, “Well, if those are Irish rappers, they should change their name from kneecap to sucky charms. They chant Free Palestine in a different country where people are rationing beans.”
