Trump inauguration: Gutfeld makes Michelle Obama quip
When Greg Gutfeld isn’t shocking fans with his baby news, he’s dropping “very offensive” dad jokes.
The Fox News personality appeared to allude to a distasteful conspiracy theory about Michelle Obama when discussing her absence from Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration.
Speculation has been rife as to why the former First Lady will not be attending, particularly given that she also missed Jimmy Carter’s funeral last week.

Some have wondered if she might be unwell.
However, Greg took a different tack, seemingly referencing a highly contentious slur about the former First Lady.

Discussing her non-attendance at next week’s event, Greg stated: “I have a source as you know, Big Mike. He said, she wanted to go but she has plans to work with underprivileged kids at a dude ranch.”
Many on social media believe that Greg is referring to Michelle as Big Mike, referencing a ludicrous conspiracy theory that suggests Michelle is, in fact, a man.
This is also likely why Greg’s joke features the “dude ranch” punchline, which has sparked outrage online, especially as other panelists on Fox were seen laughing.
The Five viewers stormed to X to vent their fury over Greg’s remark, as @gimponastick fumed: “He is a vile human being.”

A second person @DavidKuzma11 pondered: “I honestly don’t understand how people think this guy is funny.”
With @TeresaLaBonte1 echoing: “I don’t understand how anyone thinks this is ok. Where is the ‘Be Best’ that their favorite 1st lady champions?”
“He is so offensive,” user @MaryEP63 blasted, while @shopaholic_93 called Greg “disgusting”.
And viewer @FakeDeepState asked: “Has any told Gutfeld he’s not nearly as funny as he thinks he is?”
