Even Greg Gutfeld Thinks Pontoons at the Texas Border Are Ridiculous: ‘Only Work Until Someone Brings a Safety Pin’ (Video)
Two things about the United States’ southern border that almost everyone can agree about: 1. There’s an ongoing migration crisis going on there, and 2. Pontoons are probably not going to solve it.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and his state border-control officials have taken heat for inflating dozens of refrigerator-sized pontoons and stringing them together in the Rio Grande to discourage migrants from entering the water. Besides subjecting would-be border-crossers to elevated danger, the pontoons just look ridiculous.
And Greg Gutfeld leaves no absurdity unturned.
In the middle of a rant about “anti-meritocracy” on Tuesday’s “Gutfeld!,” the Fox News host poked – quite literally – some fun at the buoyant border wall:
“This anti-meritocracy is all over,” Gutfeld said. “Take the Texas border – millions of illegals already have … Texas is so desperate they are installing blow-up pontoons in an attempt to harden their defenses.”

It was to be a brief moment of criticizing a fellow conservative, however, as Gutfeld immediately shifted to dunking on a Biden appointee:
“DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, in charge of our border security, had this to say:
After a few moments of dead-air, Gutfeld brought the joke home:
“No, we didn’t forget the clip – he just had nothing significant to say,” Gutfeld said. “He never does! He only talks if it’s to lie about his own personnel using whips to hurt illegals – but was this the best we could do?”
