Greg Gutfeld on the rise of Squad member Ilhan Omar

Greg Gutfeld reacts to progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar's narrow win over Don Samuels in Minnesota's primaries on 'The Five.'

Greg Gutfeld discussed how "Squad" member Rep. Ilhan Omar was saved by the American system she lambasts on ‘The Five.’

GREG GUTFELD: The [primary] race was as close as Ilhan and her brother. I mean, she still won. We just got to hope that the Republicans come up with something, you know, that can win. Yeah, yeah, never mind. Omar is a very depressing story for me in American politics. You know, who saved her life was basically the American system, right? She was in a refugee camp. And she came to America in 1995 and became a citizen. And all she does is rail against the American system.

And I can't believe that that's how she felt when she was in a refugee camp. So somewhere along the line, and I don't think it's from Somalia either, somewhere along the line, before when she got here to now, she was radicalized. Where was she radicalized? At North Dakota State University I think is where she went.

But it also bothers me that progressives always have an edge. Why she won? The work to remake society is never done because you create situations like defunding and rioting, which creates misery and unrest. And when that happens, you go, "See, our work is far from done." So as they keep your constituents in misery, they can always promise to be the solution to the misery.
