Jessica Tarlov explodes at Fox host’s claim that 'Republican' Black people 'are better'

Fox News’ progressive pundit Jessica Tarlov declared, “I’m out,” after co-host Greg Gutfeld claimed that “ours are better than yours” in reference to Black people who vote Republican on Friday’s edition of The Five.

Mediaite reports that the spat cranked up over a discussion about the source of threats facing President Donald Trump compared to threats lobbed at Democrats. Tarlov referenced the case of Minnesota Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman, who was killed along with her husband last June.

“Trump didn’t say, ‘Go out there and get in their face,'” Gutfeld pointed out.

But Tarlov replied that pipe bomber Cesar Sayoc said in court, that he “was inspired by Donald Trump.'” Sayoc pled pled guilty in 2019 to mailing 16 bombs to politicians he considered enemies of Trump.

“Which pipe bomber? The Black guy?” asked Jesse Watters, speaking of Brian Cole Jr., who was charged with planting bombs outside of the DNC and RNC headquarters the night before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. “Remember when we found out he was, like, some random Black guy?”

“Oh my God, ha ha ha, random Black guy!” said Tarlov, according to Mediaite. “You have no Black people, so I get it, on your side. Is that what you’re trying to say?”

“We have a few,” insisted Watters. “We’re working on it.”

“Work harder,” Tarlov said.

“Ours are better than yours,” said Gutfeld.

“Not touching that,” Tarlov said.

“We actually won more Blacks than we did last time,” added Watters, referencing the 2024 election where Trump won 15 percent of Black voters.

Tarlov responded: “You got, like, one percent more and you think it’s —”

“I’ll take it!” exclaimed Watters. “You keep losing whites! Rather have the whites, statistically.”

“I’m out!” Tarlov admitted.
