Ever since the votes were counted in Maine on Tuesday night, and Graham Platner officially became the Democrat's nominee to take on incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins in November, the leftist media has started to portray the match-up as a choice between a catastrophic status quo, and a super hero, who will help right all of the horrors created by Donald Trump. Wednesday on Fox News's The Five, Jessica Tarlov exhibited that hysteria, and it didn't go over well with Greg Gutfeld. The left has called Donald Trump a Nazi for years, and now they support a man who has a Nazi tattoo on his chest. The irony was not lost on Gutfeld as he tore into the strategy. GUTFELD: I step back and I see what happens when you frame everything as an existential threat. For Democrats, who are always fighting Hitler, every tool is acceptable including electing a Nazi to fight Hitler because you need to win the Senate to destroy Hitler. So if you think about all of the bad things that have happened, say, in the last 10 years or so, they are directly linked to this framing, that we're fighting a fascist dictator. They built a frame that excuses the behavior that they condemn.... And now you see the Democrat embracing a Nazi misogynist because the circumstances are life and death, even though they are not. The Democrats always portray this next election as something that will cause the end of the world. That way all of their so-called principles can easily evaporate. He then drew a distinction, and offered some advice to Democrats. GUTFELD: For us it's not existential. We think Platner sucks and he's a pig, but you know what? We'll keep living, but Democrats, they are like fentanyl addicts. And politics is their fentanyl. So they don't care what they look like when they are doing it. What should the remaining principled Democrats do? They should support Collins. She's a liberal Republican. She has an incredibly low American Conservative Union rating. That doesn't seem to me as an existential choice.... In reality, if Collins wins life goes on and nothing really changes. In politics, if Platner loses, a fascist regime will destroy democracy because in politics, the stakes are delusionally  high. Who made those stakes high? The Democrats. When it was her turn, Tarlov jumped right on Guffeld's take, and he fought back. TARLOV: And to what Greg said about nothing changes if Susan Collins is the senator, again, if she wins re-election, that is the problem for Mainers and that's the problem across this country. They want change agents.  GUTFELD: : What happens if you don't get it? TARLOV: What do you mean? GUTFELD: Does the world end? TARLOV: You know what happens? Susan Collins, who touts her independent streak, now votes with Trump 95% of the time. She continues to back his agenda and guess what, there's gonna be one, maybe two Supreme Court seats up, and Susan Collins will vote for his nominee, who will be an even younger Brett Kavanaugh, like she did for Kavanaugh, and you know who won't do that -- Graham Platner will stand in the way. GUTFELD: You're validating exactly what I said. You're painting some kind of existential -- TARLOV: I do think it is. Then Gutfeld cornered her. GUTFELD: : You would vote for him. TARLOV: I feel lucky that I'm not voting in Maine right now. I think It's a very tough decision. And then the real hysteria.  TARLOV: Susan Collins loves to say I'm pro-choice. The Dobbs decision, right. Throw it back to the states. We have 13 states alone that have trigger laws where if you are six weeks pregnant you can't get access to reproductive healthcare. That is something that mortally offends Susan Collins but yet she votes for Republican nominees to the core to go ahead and  put through a decision like the Dobbs decision. GUTFELD: Which would be fine.  TARLOV: No it's fine to you, it is not fine to the women who are bleeding out who can't get the care that they had. GUTFELD: Bleeding out? TARLOV: That's what happens, Greg, if you go to an emergency room -- [cross talking] GUTFELD: Do you see the point if Susan Collins wins millions of women will bleed out. That's what they want you to believe.  In addition to claiming that women will bleed out if Collins wins, Tarlov, who had previously said of Platner, "I find him to be toxic", wouldn't say if she'd vote for him if she could. This goes a long way in confirming Gutfeld's take on the left's existential threat narrative.
