Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld weighed in on the controversy over a plus-sized model on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine’s annual swimsuit issue, offering up his own unique takes on Yumi Nu who is one of four women to receive this year’s honor and who according to the left, is not allowed to be criticized.
Nu joined uber-celebrity Kim Kardashian, Grammy award-winning singer Ciara and billionaire Elon Musk’s 74-year-old mother Maye Musk on the cover of this year’s edition of what has long been the publication’s most popular issue until the magazine went fully woke in a race to the bottom with other sports media outlets that are more concerned with promoting leftist ideology than the athletic feats and games that used to be a unifying factor in society.
On Wednesday’s edition of “Gutfeld!” the host asked, “Are we not allowed to squabble over a plus sized-model and is ignoring the swimsuit model’s fitness asking us to bear false witness?”
“Now for those of you under the age of 75, Sports Illustrated was once a magazine that covered sports,” he said. “It was the most popular magazine read by men, now you can’t even swat a spider with it without the spider calling you a bleep.”
“Doesn’t hit newsstands until Thursday but it’s already creating more buzz than a lodged vibrator in an emergency room,” he joked.
‘Yumi says she’s proud to champion body and race diversity, fine, but psychologist Jordan Peterson dared to criticize, tweeting ‘Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that,’ Peterson has since quit Twitter after all the backlash which raises a question,” Gutfeld said.
“Aren’t we entitled to an opinion especially when it’s a publicly consumed product designed for generating opinions and controversy?” Gutfeld asked.
“Or is it better to say nothing than take a risk and say what a lot of people are thinking, like Peterson did,” referring to the Canadian psychologist and YouTube personality’s being chased from Twitter after he criticized the first plus-sized Asian to be featured on the cover since the first swimsuit issue hit newsstands way back in 1964.
Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that. https://t.co/rOASeeQvee

Peterson was subjected to cruel and nasty attacks from the leftist Twitter mob for merely stating his opinion, leading to his departure from the platform.
So I told my staff to change my password, to keep me from temptation, and am departing once again. If I have something to say I'll write an article or make a video. If the issue is not important enough to justify that then perhaps it would be best to just let it go. https://t.co/5MC7LxlOLj

“The cover does meet one goal, it punishes straight men who prefer completely unrealistic as opposed to unhealthy body types,” Gutfeld added. “The old school covers were to give you a glimpse of a woman you couldn’t get anywhere near in person,”
Gutfeld then teed up a clip of “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg who raved, “we feel at this table, that we could also be on the cover of Sports Illustrated.”

“Now that would be historic as the first swimsuit issue created especially for the blind,” deadpanned Gutfeld to laughter.
“You’re very young, I’m going to tell you about Sports Illustrated,” Gutfeld said to guest Kat Timpf, “the magazine would come out, they’d have a girl on the cover and we’d all argue if she should have been on the cover or not because it’s a matter of subjective like attractiveness, some people think people are better looking, I always loved Elle McPherson, if she wasn’t on the cover it pissed me off,” referring to the model who graced five SI swimsuit issue covers, “why is it wrong to have an opinion that says I’m not attracted to this person?”
‘These are message covers!” Gutfeld exclaimed. “These are covers that are trying to convey a message, this is not for … the reader, the reader,” as he and the guests engaged in several minutes of lively discussion over the magazine’s choice to feature Nu on the cover of the issue.
Last year, Gutfeld also remarked on SI’s choice of swimsuit issue cover models which included a transgender activist.

Leftists have shouted down anyone who dares to speak up about Nu’s inclusion on the cover as being guilty of fat-shaming and racism but the attacks are having a diminishing effect as their social engineering propaganda becomes more blatant.

To each his own. Quite frankly, I am more attracted to a “plus size” woman than I am to the perky barbie doll type. The young lady on the cover happens to be beautiful. In addition, the plus size women are all over QVC/HSN. This is by design. They are trying to stop the “fat girl” bullying and are showing that plus size women are as mainstream as the barbie doll girls.
I do however draw the line when it involves obese sloppy fat women. Not attracted to them. They are the ones that have lost respect for themselves don’t take care of themselves the way they should.
Greg, the “woke” think only they are allowed to have opinions. Ridiculous, I know, but that’s how it seems. I don’t care, I’m going to have an opinion and the “woke” can go suck an egg.
The problem with all the swimsuit editions is that they don’t have any males represented. I’m sure Pete Buttigieg and his husband and friends would love to see Brian Seltzer on the cover in a Speedo or a thong. If discrimination is bad then SI needs to get on the ball.
See. You just made me vomit bile in my mouth. Now I’ll have to drink ginger ale mixed with lemon juice to get that taste out. No apology necessary.
Maybe in ruben’s day, but progressives are supposed to accept progress aka change. And that change is a slimmer woman’s body and a man in better shape. Sorry, but the truth is, fat women smell; they sweat more and it gets in the crevices and starts to smell like cheese.
I didn’t even know they still published that rag. I can’t remember the last time I looked at a magazine 😂
I never read that rag.
Absolutely NOT attractive. Please stop ‘celebrating’ these gals that are grossly overweight. K Kardashian is also not attractive. Those gigantic plastic haunches would embarrass a market hog.
WE ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OPINION, PERIOD!!!! I don’t care iF it’s a publicly consumed product or not. What the He!! do we have a Constitution for, iF not to protect our God given right to speech? I don’t care if it upsets someone, or “hurts their wittle Feewings”. The Prog/DemoKKKraps say a lot of things that upset me, but that doesn’t seem to bother them.
MAGAA Trump 2024 (or sooner)
P.S.: When the He!! are you people going to Fix the stinking problem with the lower case F shiFFting us to your idiotic page???????
Hello Lelandcandyman,
We are continuing to work on the “F” macro issue with our video provider. Unfortunately, it’s not an issue we can take care of on our side, so we are relying on the company to work with us to solve the problem. Rest assured that this and any other issues you and others may find are in the process of being resolved. If you have any viable suggestions for how we can speed up the process, we would love to hear them.
Thank you for your loyal readership!
If fat is now beautiful – when will SI be showing Whoppi Goldberg in thong and topless???
The same day I jab a sharpened pencil into each eyeball!
If I see any of those stinking pigs from the view of n be any rag mag I will buy all that I can get my hands on and have a barn fire.
Then why don’t whoopie and her cohosts put on their sexiest bikinis and have a “Women Of The View” calendar made? All the proceeds could go to fund important democrat causes like abortion, bail for the violent but needy, subversive textbooks for kindergartners, just to name a few.
They would have to extend the medicare benefits to everyone of every age if we saw Whoopie in a bikini. But I agree that they should make a “Women of the View” calender. People on the left might wake up to what is not beautiful.
Please 🛑. I won’t be able to unsee that and I will have nightmares.
They would lose way too much money on that venture,,,heavy heavy overhead and no incoming,,,I doubt they would buy their own calenders,,,,🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮,,,,,,FJB,,,,,
