Things online have picked up somewhat, it seems, in regard to Fox News Channel’s resident leftist, Jessica Tarlov, who generally appears as a co-host on “The Five.” In fact, a wide slew of comments about Tarlov have taken off on X (formerly Twitter) in regard to various “lies” she supposedly made, with many commenters demanding that she be fired for them.
As background, Tarlov frequently clashes with the conservative co-hosts of “The Five,” such as Judge Jeanine Pirro, Jesse Watters, and Greg Gutfeld. That is not all, however. She also is often attacked on the internet for the comments she makes during those spats, comments that many online regard as being “lies.”
For example, one commenter, sounding off regarding claims about everything from FEMA settlement aid for illegal immigrants to the Venezuelan gang in Aurora, Colorado, wrote, “Did you get that,@JessicaTarlov? @TheFive please fire Tarlov as she lies to the American people and spreads propaganda and another thing – this is why the border bill that wasn’t passed, failed !”
Another commenter, in response to Judge Jeanine Pirro asking Tarlov whether Trump even attempted to do the things she accuses him of wanting to do in his first four years as president, wrote, “see she can’t answer that because the answer is no—Trump never did any of these things that tarlov is talking about. so Trump can’t say enemy within, but it’s OK. to use the same rhetoric that led him getting shot in the ear.”
Yet another commenter, when “The Five” posted on X asking people to tune into the day’s program, a tweet posted on October 17, one quote-tweeter said that they wouldn’t want the broadcast because Tarlov was one of the co-hosts, saying, “Was going to watch you today to see your opinions re the interview yesterday but I cannot stomach listening to the lying and annoying voice of Jessica Tarlov. I sure hope Bobolinski’s lawsuit bankrupts her. She lies all the time!”
Using a screengrab from Truth Social in which Trump went after Tarlov and called her a “third rate” talking head, another poster on X said, “Totally agree. Tarlov makes The Five unwatchable. Don’t just put people on to counter just to counter. They result too lies, slander and fake stories. Especially Stupid Tarlov.”
Back in mid-August, another commenter sounded off on Tarlov often, in his view, pushing leftist conspiracies, saying, “Raise your hand if you’re done with Jessica Tarlov! She believes every hoax and lie the left comes up with. Gutfield urges her to fact-check. When she gets put in her place just like Kamala she has no clue what to do!”
More recently, yet another quote-tweeter said that Tarlov must either be lying or be utterly delusional given all that she says, posting, “Like all Dems, Jessica Tarlov lies or is so ideologically delusional that she can’t think straight literally.she cannot refute Judge Jeannine because she speaks truth.”
And, back toward the end of August, another commenter said, in a quote tweet of Judge Jeanine, that she should, generally, fact-check Tarlov more often. He wrote, “Please fact check Tarlov. She lies and misrepresented the facts. She makes outrageous statements and the others on the panel just let her ramble on.” The same day, in response to a quote-tweet from “The Five,” he wrote, “Why don’t you fact check Tarlov. She spouts lies and misinformation.”
