Greg Gutfeld absolutely destroyed Jessica Tarlov on The Five on Thursday, and boy did things get crazy. It was the kind of television that makes you put down your phone and actually pay attention. The two went back and forth, screaming at each other over the question of whether the American right-wing threat narrative has always been overblown, ginned up, or an outright fabrication.
And boy did Gutfeld come in swinging… and he never really stopped, either.
It started when Tarlov pushed back on Gutfeld's characterization of hate crime hoaxes, demanding examples. Gutfeld was ready.

Tarlov is there to present the leftist view points no matter if they are true or not. The fact that she thinks that all leftist propaganda is true and accurate is the problem. She has to be a negative as far as ratings are concerned for Fox.

It has happened before. Today was great. She is so totally, to her core, mindlessly liberal and obnoxious... She makes eeryone else look normal and smart...

Well, Tarlov is attractive and well groomed, rare for a female lib. So, there is that.

The moment I hear her voice or see her face I change the channel. I cannot tolerate the stupidity this woman oozes. I do not mind a differing thought but I mind having to listen to the dumbest person around the table trying to convince me that I am evil because I am a conservative. Greg is good and pulls no punches. Sorry I missed it not sorry. I read this article so I can only assume it was glorious. Seems to me the Jewish population could have been brought up. No one hates them more than the progressives on our college campuses.

Gutfeld - "We don't know who our racists are, because you created them."
Great line!!

Tarlov is a liar, besides being an obnoxious, overbearing leftist.

I am so sorry I missed that but I absolutely can't stand to listen to Tarlov so don't watch The Five when she is on the show. I am not sure which is worse, her voice or her views. Greg doesn't hold any punches.

Funny how you never hear about Scott Jennings getting his butt handed to him by the CNN orcs.

Listening to Leftists speak is a complete waste of time because they speak in memes that have no basis in reality. They are straw men that they assert are true without any proof and condemn us for evils that don't actually exist. The problem is, there is no defense against the evils described. What is stated IS evil and cannot be defended. The problem is, the whole premise of its existence is a falsehood. The Left asserts it is true and then attacks its existence.
Gutfeld went after the basis of the lie, pointing out that these things are a lie at their assertion. He doesn't get trapped into defending evil things. He counter asserts that they are falsifications of the Left, which of course is true and, ever increasingly, very obvious. You just have to be willing to stand toe to toe with screaming Leftists and say with authority that they are liars and making all this up. Then go after their foundational fallacies.

It's easy to see why Greg has never had Tarlov on Gutfeld! What an obnoxious twit.

I don't like Tarlov, her voice, or her opinions either. What she does do is give the others a chance to argue and explain good points against the ridiculous arguments of the left which she represents.

We like Harold Ford Jr. better than Jessica. Maybe it's because Harold is a devout Christian, is a gentleman and has a head on his shoulders. Jessica on the other hand spews talking points directly from the DNC and they're lies. Even her quotes on different polls are skewed.

If you look up Tarlov’s Wikipedia page it says that she is a democratic strategist, so she probably get the talking point memo every day. Also #12 if you look up Harold Ford Jnr’s page it says that he was fired from a job with Morgan Stanley for violating company policies. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Poster #3, you're right. Unlike every other female lib whose faces are littered with fishhooks and they have tattoos covering their arms and their hair is dyed blue, green or pink, she is rather attractive. So, she must be an AI.

My wife and her friends don’t like Jessica. Her positions are completely opposite mine, as well. Nevertheless, I like to watch and listen to her. Was it The Godfather who said “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”? I want to know what my enemies are thinking. Other qualities include 1) She’s easy on the eyes, 2) She’s intelligent and articulate in spouting democrat talking points and 3) She usually stays calm under the barrage of insults heaped on her by Greg and Jesse. I enjoy listening ro the reasoned arguments of Harold Ford.
IMO, the most obnoxious creature on Fox News is Leslie Marshal the smug know-it-all suck up. She often begins her responses with “I love you guys to death…” which is a lie from the beginning. Not pleasant to look at, like Jessica. Haven’t seen her recently…Hmm? Juan Williams is just dumb. I wonder how long he has to spend memorizing dem talking points before the show. He predictably prefaces his comments with “Well, I think….”

The fact that Tarlov isn't consistently b+tch slapped right out of her chair is testament to the willpower of Jessie and Greg.

The thing Jessica 'Karloff' has yet to come to grips with is that most of this nation's violence is committed by the very ethnic groups that her Demtard Party coddles. Not only that, but most of the mass-shootings are committed, almost exclusively, by "Leftist Proglodytes" against OUR people.

There was a story about a week ago that Tarlov was caught in an ongoing Affair with Jamie Raskin(D-Md), that while her husband didn't mind, and was aware of it(they have an open marriage) Raskin's wife was NOT, was/is "Less than Pleased", and is now meeting with Lawyers.

I never watch The Five, live. I watch a recording of the day on youtube. This allows me to fast forward through whenever Jessica Tarlov is talking. Her whiny screech of Democrat lies is more than I can stand. On the other hand Harold Ford Jr is ok. When Juan Williams was on the Five I did the same thing, fast forward and keep my composure.

Sorry but I never “got” The Five. The phony folksy let’s agree to disagree shtick. Gutfield being the rare exception. The news shows, FWIW, even conservative all have some Dem on to counterbalance the discussion at hand. We are inundated with Dem/Lefty talking points everywhere. Enough already.

Well as other posters have said, Tarlov is on that TV show to put out extreme leftist points of view, and if Gutfeld did not want her on the show, useful for him to perform the points of view of an extreme leftist “punching bag” she would not be on that TV show. You have to figure that Tarlov knows that and is happy to play her part for a good salary or she would not stay on that show.

Jessica Tarlov is on “The Five” for the same reason Juan Williams used to be there: to show intelligent, reasonable people that liberals are idiots. Harold Ford Jr. is almost as bad as Williams or Tarlov. He can speak for five minutes straight and not say anything. He always acknowledges whatever dumb Democrat thing they bring up, but then always says “but both sides are guilty of this” or words to that effect.

I saw the exchange. Greg did what he had to do.
But watching Greg debate Jessica is like watching Joe Frazier fight Jane Fonda. A complete mismatch - - and very sad to see.

Tarlov encapsulates the problem behind the facade: white liberal guilt. She just refuses to accept it. 'White supremacy' is a myth that SPLC always stoked and played on white liberals/leftists like Tarlov, Clooney, etc for funding. Give us your money and assuage your guilt. Once you virtue signal through us, you are now enlightened--dare I say 'woke'?

Remember Alan Colmes who used to be with Hannity? Another liberal nutbag. Was good riddance when he left.
