WATCH: Woke Tarlov Melts Down after Getting Fact-Checked by Gutfeld Live on “The Five”

Liberal contributor to Fox News Channel Jessica Tarlov is back on “The Five,” and the verbal fights between her and her more conservative co-hosts, namely Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters, are already ramping back up. The latest incident came on the Tuesday, August 6 broadcast of “The Five.”

That spat came when Tarlov brought up the infamous and false claim that former President Donald Trump told people to inject themselves with bleach during the Covid pandemic. As a reminder, Trump said that disinfectants like bleach would be looked into for whether they could sterilize an area.

The White House transcript of the comment shows that Trump said, “And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds – it sounds interesting to me.”

In any case, Tarlov, bringing up the matter, said, as a means of attacking the former president, “I still remember Covid and injecting bleach — ” Judge Jeanine Pirro was the first to react, groaning, “Come on — ” Gutfeld followed up, fact-checking her and firing back, “That — okay, that’s a hoax. No one said injecting bleach. Please look it up! Please look it up. We’ll do it in real-time.”

Tarlov asked, “Lysol?” Gutfeld responded, “It never happened.” Tarlov then tried insisting that it did, saying, “Never happened? Did he say — ” Responding, Gutfeld told her she was deluded and said, “You’re literally living in a delusion right now. That never was said. Do the research, no one ever said injecting bleach. Look it up, it has been debunked. That’s just like the ‘fine people’ hoax. I hate having to fix these things in real time.”

Tarlov then pulled out her phone and tried to pull something up to prove her point. But, as could be expected given that she was wrong in arguing that Trump told people to inject bleach, she was unable to find anything that actually supported her argument and was true, as it is an untrue story, a hoax.

This isn’t the first time, recently, that Tarlov and the others have feuded. As an example, they had a spat the week before about Vice President Kamala Harris and whether she is a “DEI hire.” As The American Tribune reported:

Tarlov claimed it was a “turnoff” to the black community for the GOP to make this claim.  She stated, “There is something crucial that Republicans keep doing that is a major turnoff to the black community, and that’s insulting Kamala Harris. You don’t take someone so meaningful to that community and say she’s a diversity hire.”

Following this comment, co-host Jesse Watters jumped in, asking, “Can I speak for the black community for a second?”  Tarlov quickly fired back, “No!”  Watters then joked that he is one percent black.  Watters pointed out that Fox News has a correspondent who frequently interviews the black community, where he finds little support for Kamala Harris.

Watters said, “We have Johnny go out and speak to the black community two times a week, and they do not support Kamala Harris.  Speaking very broadly there,” he said.  Tarlov replied, suggesting that Republicans are discounting Harris’ achievement in reaching the upper echelon of American politics by claiming she only got there as a “diversity hire” and through sexual favors.

“If you have one of the highest achieving black women in the country who’s now made it to the vice presidency, and Republicans and people who talk about her on-air say she’s a diversity hire, she only got where she was going because she slept with Willie Brown,” Tarlov responded, sounding off on the conservative talking point.

Following this comment, both Watters and co-host Greg Gutfeld emphatically asking, “She did!? I didn’t know that!” Watters simultaneously asked, “She slept with Willie Brown!?” Tarlov responded, “Is that not true?”  Watters then followed up, “I didn’t know that. Is that how she got ahead in politics?”  Tarlov maintained, “No, of course not!”  “I love it when people accuse us of spreading rumors by actually citing rumors,” Gutfeld said, wrapping up the conversation.n
