Many people in America are in a bit of an “alien” craze lately.
There are a few reasons for this. One is that there genuinely have been some unexplained aerial sightings that have taken place.
But another reason is that, as people have abandoned Christianity in the wake of the Sexual Revolution of the 60s, many have looked for an alternative form of spirituality.
The UFO craze, bizarre as it might be, plays into that desire.
Gutfeld, however, was shocked when a Republican congresswoman, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, started spouting some wild stuff during an appearance on the Joe Rogan Podcast.
According to The Wrap, “The ‘Gutfeld!’ gang had a good laugh at Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s claims on a recent episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast that she’s seen evidence of ‘energy things,’ or aliens, or UFOs, or ‘interdimensional beings.’ Whatever we’re calling them these days, the Fox News late-night show still isn’t buying it.”
Here’s what Luna said: “They call them interdimensional beings. Very credible people have reported that there has been a movement outside time and space. Have I seen a portal? No. Have I seen a spaceship personally? No. Have I seen evidence of this? Yes. Have I seen photo documentation of aircraft that I believe were not made by mankind? Yes.”
Luna gives almost nothing to back up her claim, which is an extraordinary one.
She is saying spaceships are traveling in between dimensions, but then admits that she just “believes” that these aircraft aren’t man-made.
The article continues, “Gutfeld made the analogy that the UFO issue is like a bad boyfriend who strings you along and offers you nothing forever. But when he called you for a booty call, you always answer. Like the issue, he is always there but never follows through,’ calling them ‘recreational beliefs.’”
Gutfeld is not convinced that any of this should be explained by aliens or “interdimensional” beings, and that the people making these claims have offered nothing to back them up.
There is a quasi-religious thing going on here, as many people are hoping for alien “saviors” to come to Earth and “rescue” our planet from war, poverty, and other problems.
It’s unclear whether Luna falls into that camp or just likes going down weird rabbit holes, but Greg Gutfeld thinks she’s full of it.
It might not make her fans in the Republican Party happy, but he’s just calling it like he sees it.
