A right-wing comedian is blaming the āwoke mind virusā after he was accused of sexual harassment and blacklisted from Fox News, he said Thursday.
Tyler Fischer, a frequentĀ Gutfeld!Ā guest who regularly appears on Fox, claims his only ācrimeā was asking a woman out for coffee. But Fox, which faced its own wave of #MeToo accusations in 2017, disagrees, and Fischer says he has been banned from the networkās New York studios over the suspicious interaction.

Fischer, 38, was supposed to appear on the Jan. 30 episode ofĀ Gutfeld!Ā and was in the building early for a meeting. He approached a young woman sitting at her desk in what he toldĀ The Daily MailĀ was a āflirty little interaction.ā
āI introduced myself, I said āHey, Iām Tyler… I need to get going to the show to film, but would you ever get coffee sometime,āā he said.
But he was escorted away by security only moments later. The young employee had reported the incident as harassment, and the security accompanied Fischer to theĀ Gutfeld!Ā set to tape his appearance. Two weeks later, his next pre-arranged appearance was canceled. Fischer appeared on the show over a dozen times in the last two years, but said he hasnāt been asked to come back since the incident.
The comedian said he was āstunned and humiliatedā from the experience, and believes heās a victim of āwoke mind virusā culture.
He gave his own account of the incident on X, where he said Fox has āgone full woke and kicked me off for a reason that is beyond hard to believeā
āIt is not illegal or against any rules at Fox to ask a grown adult for coffee,ā he wrote. āBut in the woke mind virus world, any advance by a man is labeled as some kind of toxic masculinity.ā
He continued: āThis is why men have stopped approaching women in real life (off dating apps) because being chivalrous and doing what men have done forever (showing interest in women by offering to take them on a date) is now turned into a crime. Itās beyond tragic to see men hide away in fear. I, for one, will not allow it to happen to me.ā

Fischer, who regularly jokes about āfat bald feminists,ā women getting sent to Auschwitz, Trump grabbing women by the p—y, white people using the N-wordāand himself openly uses the slur ār—-dāāhas also joked about women being forced to have sex with their divorced partners because āfair is fair.ā
The comedian, who is now considering pursuing legal action against Fox, talked to the network only a couple of months ago about the ādiscriminationā case heās been pursuing that claims he was cut from acting roles due to āDEI policies.ā
āI was doing TV shows and acting and my career was growing in Hollywood,ā he said at the time. āBut these DEI policies, I was told explicitly, we have too many white guys.ā
He said the ādiscriminationā issues are the reason people are āturning to alternative media sources.ā

But it seems that even Fox wasnāt āalternativeā enough for Fischer, because now heās thinking about suing them, too.
Fischer, who also appears on Fox Nationās specialĀ No Pardon NeededĀ and was a guest on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience last year, said that legal action might be the only way to protect accused men.
Network employees overheard the interaction, but Fox declined to comment on Fischerās blacklist.
Fox faced a torrent of #MeToo allegations in 2017 from an onslaught of women who accused Fox hosts and stars from harassing them. The accusations especially targeted late chairman Roger Ailes and former primetime star Bill OāReilly.
TheĀ Daily BeastĀ has reached out to Fischer for comment.
