The comment sparked immediate reaction, particularly from Greg Gutfeld of Fox News. He didn’t just dismiss it; he dismantled it with a sharp wit that quickly circulated. The initial remark, made during a podcast interview, centered around Harris’s belief she’d outmaneuvered Donald Trump during their campaign.
Harris confidently asserted she was playing “three-dimensional chess” against Trump, skillfully avoiding being led astray by his tactics. She even chuckled as she described understanding the “game” and refusing to be manipulated. The claim, however, rang hollow considering the decisive outcome of the election.
Trump secured a landslide victory, winning all seven swing states and the popular vote, a fact that underscored the disconnect between Harris’s perception and reality. This prompted a lively discussion on “The Five,” where co-hosts took turns offering their critiques of her statement.
Jesse Watters suggested a “wellness check” might be in order, while Dana Perino cleverly compared Trump’s strategy to chess and Harris’s to the simpler game of Candyland. But it was Gutfeld who delivered the most memorable line, cutting straight to the core of the absurdity.
“She says 3D chess — chess is already 3D,” Gutfeld quipped, his delivery laced with amusement. He then added a playful jab, suggesting she likely meant “4D” but had already consumed a “40.” The audience responded with laughter, recognizing the pointed humor.
Gutfeld didn’t stop there. He followed up with a rhetorical question: “Who boasts of a strategy when you lose?” He painted a vivid picture of Harris’s gameplay, suggesting she’d likely need a helmet even for a game of chess or checkers.
The comments highlighted the stark contrast between Harris’s self-perception and the actual results of the election. Gutfeld’s observations, delivered with his signature blend of wit and insight, resonated widely, offering a humorous yet pointed commentary on the situation.
The exchange left many wondering if Harris would ever be willing to engage with Gutfeld directly, a scenario widely considered unlikely given the potential for further pointed questioning and insightful critique.
