For the first time in a century, the vote to select a new Speaker of the House advanced beyond a single ballot on Tuesday. Yet according to Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld, the Capitol Hill ordeal being televised on nearly every major news channel was much ado about nothing.

Speaking on The Five, the significance of Rep. Kevin McCarthy failing to acquire a majority vote after three ballots was apparently lost on Gutfeld, who struggled to make a coherent argument against its newsworthiness.

“Speaking of drama, you know the difference between that last vote one hundred years ago and this one? This one’s on TV. What are we doing? If this was relegated to C-SPAN, we wouldn’t even know it existed,” Gutfeld exclaimed, prompting agreement from co-host Jeanine Pirro.
