Greg Gutfeld offered a watered-down election denial on Thursday after Donald Trump was arraigned for allegedly scheming to overturn the 2020 results through claims of fraud he knew to be false. And Twitter hit the Fox News host hard for it.
“We don’t know if the election by and large in 50 states was corrupted or whatnot,” Gutfield said in a clip shared by Kat Abu. “It’s unprovable. It can’t be proven either way.”
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld continued to push election denial in the wake of the latest Trump charges:

The smart-alecky talking head didn’t get a pass.
Respondents on Twitter reminded him how evidence ― or the lack thereof ― works legally. They also noted that Trump’s lies generated recounts, and that the dozens of court challenges his team filed failed. It all showed that Trump and his supporters lacked anything admissible in court to support their claims.
Exactly, Greg: it’s UNPROVABLE. The burden of proof is on the claim. You can literally say, “the tooth fairy left my teeth but robbed my safe last night,” and we’d have to be like, “hey, Greg, you know what? That’s unprovable. We wish you had evidence.” And you’d be like yeah.

You can't prove something didn't happen or doesn't exist (like Santa Claus). But you CAN say there's no evidence of something happening, and that's the case here. It can be called the most scrutinized, so it gets higher status than prior elections for holding up.

Absence of evidence is absolutely evidence of absence for the scale needed to affect the outcome. (They’ve also had nearly three additional years to try for something, anything.)

It CAN be proven. And it has been.
There are paper copies of every disputed ballot.
We do recounts.
All 50 Secs State and all 50 Governors certified the results.
(and DC)
That's how America works!— KevinlyFather 🇺🇲🇨🇦🇲🇼🇸🇿 (@KevinlyFather) August 3, 2023
The only reason we know it was the most secure presidential election in history is because of defendant trump causing all the recounts, lawsuits and scrutiny.

@FoxNews lawyers, apparently the $700M+ you agreed to pay may not have been enough.
Does not look like the anchors quite got the message.— @theRGK (@theRGK1) August 3, 2023
Is that the new thing?
From "we have all the evidence that proves it, but the courts won't let us show it" to now "it's basically unprovable, which means we should assume it was likely true."
Like Comer and Jordan's hearings. "0 evidence, so the allegations are probably true."— Bizzle (Alfalfa Male) (@BizzleMcDizzle) August 3, 2023
We don't know if the sun rose today -- has anybody actually touched the sun? We can't know for sure, given "scientists" say it's 93 million miles away. Can you get there by Uber? Then it must not be real.
