Gutfeld and guest Lee Zeldin accused AOC of having playing the 'victim' card.

The Fox News host kicked off the discussion by accusing the Democrat congresswoman of having a victim mentality.

"She can happily psychoanalyze and sexualize groups of people, but if you do it to her, she becomes a victim," Gutfeld said.

Zeldin agreed and took the accusation a step further, "Yeah, and 100 percent of the time, if you go after her, it is because of whatever biographical demographic information she wants to throw out."

Zeldin continued to stew on his contempt for AOC by bringing up a personal anecdote from a congressional hearing on the Keystone XL pipeline, during which the Democrat asked a bank CEO if they would accept liability for environmental damages if they supported the project.

Zeldin told Gutfled he refrained from interrupting AOC during the hearing to ask, "Should the company that manufactured the microphone she’s speaking into be liable for the crap that’s coming out of her mouth right now?"

Zeldin brought the story full circle by claiming AOC would consider herself a victim if he had done that, adding, "No, it’s because the argument that you’re making every day, all the time, is just too often retarded."

As the stunned studio audience took a moment to digest Zeldin's use of the word, which is considered a slur, the Fox News host jumped in and quickly made a joke in an apparent attempt at damage control.

"Yeah. You can say that now. It’s okay, you can say that now. You can say that word," Gutfeld said.
