Fox News: Jessica Tarlov Slams Greg Gutfeld & Jesse Watters Over ‘Morally Bankrupt’ Trump
What To Know
- Jessica Tarlov was shouted down as she tried to explain why some liberals are concerned about people supporting Donald Trump.
- Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters pressed Tarlov to justify why liberals care if others like Trump.
- The segment devolved into a chaotic shouting match, with Tarlov struggling to make her points.
Fox News host Jessica Tarlov was hit from all sides on Wednesday’s (May 6) episode of The Five as her colleagues demanded to know why she and other liberals have a problem with people liking President Donald Trump.
Greg Gutfeld stirred up the drama when he said, “I’m okay with you hating Trump, why aren’t you okay with me liking him? If you could just look in the mirror and answer that question, liberals, you would feel so much better.”
Host Jesse Watters then turned the question to Tarlov, the show’s resident Democrat voice. “Do you have a theory why liberals care so much about that other people might like Trump?” he asked.
“Because he’s like a completely morally bankrupt person that’s imposing all of these…” Tarlov started before Gutfeld cut her off, shouting, “But why should you care that I like him? Why should you care?”
“I have accepted that you like him,” Tarlov replied. “But I think it’s hard for people when they care about someone to say…”
Gutfeld again interrupted, saying, “Woah woah woah. This is the perfect thing. Why do they care? Tell me why.”
Tarlov tried to make the point that people care because someone liking Trump means them voting for Trump, which “leads to bad policies… that makes life harder for…”
The panel didn’t want to hear this, though, as they continued to shout Tarlov down. Watters then redirected the argument back to what Tarlov said about Trump being “morally bankrupt,” saying, “She is misdiagnosing. It has nothing to do with morality.”
“Of course it does,” Tarlov replied.
Watters said the Democrats “don’t support standards of morality,” adding, “You can do drugs. You can be homeless. You can hit people, rape people, let other murderers into the country. You can do all kinds of things. They don’t judge. They don’t judge!”
Tarlov tried to speak, but others continued to talk over her, including host Paul Mauro, who said, “They’re gonna let the Son of Sam out of jail.” Meanwhile, Gutfeld laughed at the chaos he’d caused.
“You guys got evangelicals to support a guy who has cheated on every single wife he has had,” Tarlov said when she finally managed to get out a sentence uninterrupted.
“But who cares if I like him?” Gutfeld retorted.
“I’ve said I don’t care,” Tarlov answered. “I have accepted it.”
“No, but why do your peers… I am doing a Scott Jennings. Get your finger out of my face!” Gutfeld quipped, referencing Jennings’ F-bomb blow up on CNN’s NewsNight last week.

Jessica gets too emotional when she tries to present her point of view. Expressions on her face show extreme anger. Screaming doesn’t attract viewers. The other Democrat on the panel, Harold Ford, is more professional in his response to any discussion. Get rid of Jessica and keep Harold. It would improve the show.

I’m a staunch conservative but Not a member of the GOP. I respect Harold for the very things you stated. He is a gentleman and intelligent.

You do realize these words apply to Biden, Obama, Clinton? And for Jessica to call out Trump as immoral is laughable when the party she supports promotes kids being surgically altered for gender reassignment, men in women’s spaces, coddling criminals & k*lling the unborn. Spare me the incredulity!!

That last line in your comments is so rich Lol. The most hypocritical ? You gotta get up pretty early to beat the Lib Left at that !! They constantly cite the Constitution even as they trample all over it. Then the constant “ Trump is an existential threat to our Democracy. When it’s the Liberal Left Allowing, Indeed Supporting Illegal Immigrants the people they Allowed into our country.. To Murder, Rape, Assault Legal Americans. That’s just one of Many examples. So you can shove your comments about Hypocrisy !! Clinton: Read my lips I Did Not have sex with that woman !! This in front of Congress. Real trust worthy guy right there !! But his wife Hillary makes him look like a saint !!

One day he will be gone, and those who allowed his many illegal activities will be left to answer for them. You can’t say you didn’t know. You can’t lie and talk your way out of it. Those that bent the knee, wore shoes that didn’t fit out of fear they’d upset him, and did whatever he asked of them with no pushback will be remembered as spineless cowards that helped erode our republic. All of the progress made over the last 50+ years is slowly reversing under the lies that there is no racial injustice anymore or sexism or homophobia, etc. It’s wrapping up all of those things into a different package and presenting it in a palatable way for the bots to push on SM. We don’t see color is the new fancy way of eroding all of the gains that people of color have made. We don’t see gender minimizes the hard work of women over the decades fighting for equality in the workplace. The phrase, “The outrage if a Democrat did…” is applicable, always. The most hypocritical lot of people walking the earth.
