Alan Ritchson is drawing fire from Fox News after slamming the president. A war of words has broken out between a popular action star and one of cable news’s sharpest personalities. After the actor unloaded on the president during a podcast, a Fox host devoted airtime to picking apart his mindset. The exchange is now fueling debate over politics, celebrity, and where the two collide.
Greg Gutfeld claimed Alan Ritchson was “eaten alive” by resentment after Trump remarks
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld responded to Reacher star Alan Ritchson’s criticism of President Donald Trump by claiming the actor is being “eaten alive” by resentment. On an episode of The Five, he broke down Ritchson’s state of mind after the star’s fiery podcast appearance.
The Alan Ritchson Trump comments came on the Monday, July 27, episode of Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, where Ritchson criticized Trump over the Jeffrey Epstein files and other issues.
Gutfeld tried to frame the remarks as having “nothing to do with politics,” adding that the Reacher star “wasn’t joking.” He argued, “It says absolutely nothing about Donald Trump, but it says too much about him.”
The Fox News Alan Ritchson segment saw the host steer the conversation away from partisanship. He likened the actor’s alleged resentment to “taking a poison and waiting for the other person to die,” calling it a “powerful contrast” for someone so physically fit. He also mocked that “no amount of squats and bench presses” would fix it.
The Greg Gutfeld Alan Ritchson back-and-forth continued as Gutfeld insisted the situation was not “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” but something deeper. The Alan Ritchson controversy even drew in co-host Dana Perino, who admitted she watches Reacher despite the star’s political views. She said, “You don’t have to be a Trump supporter, but why be a Trump hater when everybody is watching Amazon?
The Donald Trump criticism continues to spark strong reactions on both sides.
