Fox News' Kimberly Guilfoyle Says Young Women Should Be Excused From Juries So They Can "Go Back on Tinder"

Discussion about women becoming more conservative as they get older takes a turn for the absurd on The Five

Who has time to fulfill one's civic duty when there's all that online dating to be done?

Once again, a joke told on Fox News' The Five fell flat as a pancake, with this time the quipster being Kimberly Guilfoyle, who...actually, by the time it was over, it was hard to tell what she was talking about. 

But the conversation at that time was about women--or more specifically, female voters--and whether or not the dressed-up notion of the Republicans waging a "war on women" will end up backfiring against the Democrats come election day Nov. 4.

"They're running out of time for the October surprise, aren't they?" Guilfoyle chimed in, referring to whatever issue the Democrats will supposedly cling to at the last minute as being the issue of the day, as she, Eric Bolling, Dana Perino, Greg Gutfeld and Bob Beckel discussed what women are really concerned about in the run-up to the midterm election.

Talking about recent comments former New Yorker and Daily Beast editor Tina Brown made about women not feeling safe due to the Obama administration's response to ISIS in the Middle East, the Ebola epidemic in West Africa and other crises effecting one's security, national or personal, Perino summed it up by saying that, in addition to jobs and the economy, two of the biggest issues women worry about when it comes time to vote, this year there are a whole bunch of other things to worry about.

Which is true, but...

"Married women vote Republican, single women vote heavily to Democrats," Beckel weighed in, prompting a buzzer noise from Guilfoyle to indicate he was wrong about that one.

"That also correlates with age," Gutfeld added, "because with age comes wisdom, and it's a known fact that the older that you get the more conservative you get, and I always tell young people, 'You don't have to wait to become a conservative. Don't waste your time.' But the point is. a lot of women have also caught on to the big joke, which it seems to be even more sexist to assume that women cannot take care of themselves because they're women and therefore need the government to take care of them."

And where would they ever get that idea?

"Right, that's the thing," Guilfoyle responded, the headline "What does the Democratic party offer to women voters?" running beneath her. "But when you're young like that, you think—same reason why young women on juries are not a good idea, they don't get it. They're not in that same life experience of paying the bills, doing the mortgage, kids, community, crime, education, healthcare. They're like healthy and hot and running around without a care in the world."

Well, at least Beckel sort of objected, saying, "I don't think they shouldn't be on juries. They have every right in the world—"

"I didn't say they shouldn't be," Guilfoyle clarified. "I just think, excuse them so they can go back on Tinder and Match.com."

Because then...they can get married and become Republican? Sigh.

Watch it all go down right here:
