Greg Gutfeld triggers awkward silence on Fox News after joke about AOC's backside falls flat

The awkward moment came during a segment that sought to scrutinize the New York congresswoman's accent.

Greg Gutfeld was met with a wall of silence from his fellow 'Five' panelists after making a joke about Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's 'behind' on Monday.

The moment came during a segment that analyzed the New York politician's accent. 

The panel had just played a clip of Ocasio-Cortez speaking to attendees at a rally in Memphis with what some said was a manufactured Southern drawl.

'We cannot afford to leave Tennessee behind,' she told attendees gathered to support US House candidate Justin Pearson, before saying the same for states like Georgia and South Carolina.

Gutfeld took the segment a step further while simultaneously lampooning a line from the 36-year-old's speech. 

'She mentions behind six times. And all I’m thinking about is her behind!' Gutfeld, 61, riffed, after reading the quote in full.

A noticeable lull followed, as Gutfeld waited for the off-color joke to land.

The panel - rounded out by Harold Ford Jr, Dana Perino, Kennedy, and Fox & Friends host Charles Hurt - remained mostly silent. 

A light chuckle from one of the two male panelists was heard off-screen. 

The Daily Mail has approached Representative Ocasio-Cortez and Fox News for comment.

The congresswoman has yet to respond to Gutfeld's remarks.

She has previously accused Fox News hosts of sexualizing her on-air.

'He has sexualized me on his show. He has sexually harassed me on his show. He has engaged in horrific, sexually exploitative rhetoric,' Ocasio-Cortez said of The Five's Jesse Watters, during an encounter with a Fox News producer in DC in January.

She had been asked if she would 'join' the conservative pundit on either of his programs - The Five and Jesse Watters Primetime - at some point in the future.
