Fox News panelists get into heated exchange after Cohen testimony: ‘I’m gonna throw you off the set’ Owen Daugherty The Hill, 02/27/19 08:28 PM EST Fox News commentators Greg Gutfeld and Juan Williams got into a heated exchange Wednesday after Michael Cohen’s testimony to a House committee, with Gutfeld threatening to throw Williams “off the set.” The two men started trading verbal jabs on the Fox News show “The Five” when Williams accused Gutfeld of being “so deep in the bunker,” apparently a reference to Gutfeld’s support of President Trump. Cohen, Trump's former attorney, made damaging allegations against Trump in his testimony on Wednesday before the House Oversight and Reform Committee. “Oh, shut up, Juan! I’m in nobody’s bunker. Enough with your bunker. I’m trying to be polite to somebody on the panel, Juan, which you won’t do,” Gutfeld responded, arguing that he was trying to give another panelist the chance to talk when he was interrupted by Williams. Moments later, host Jesse Watters said Cohen provided “no documentation, no corroboration, no witnesses of any Russian collusion, any Trump Tower advanced knowledge” during his hearing. Williams responded by bringing up details about Roger Stone and Donald Trump Jr.that Cohen laid out during his testimony and said Waters is “so blind because you, like Greg, are deep in the bunker.” Gutfeld immediately fired back, saying, “If you say that again, I’m going to throw you off the set. You know what the bunker means? What you’re intimating is that — who’s in the bunker, Adolf Hitler, correct?” “No, I was not!” Williams said, arguing Gutfeld was “so far off” and “in a weak position.” Watters put an end to the back-and-forth by asking another panelist for comment on the Cohen hearing. .
