Things once again got explosive during a broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “The Five,” with notoriously woke co-host Jessica Tarlov clashing with Greg Gutfeld over President Trump’s policies, with Tarlov insisting that he and the other conservatives on the show are “hypocrites” would be very angry were Obama to have done what Trump is now doing.
Tarlov particularly appeared to be referencing the president’s decision to crack down on urban crime by deploying thousands of troopers in the National Guard to Washington, DC, while threatening to do the same to other notoriously high-crime cities, such as Chicago and New York City, comments that have had Democrats freaking out.
The spat began with Tarlov insisting that Gutfeld would be upset if Obama or Biden had done what Trump is now doing, snapping, “Let’s say that a Democrat was…” as Gutfeld told her that he wouldn’t care because he supports these moves. Tarlov first told him, “Yes, you would,” and as he continued denying caring, insisted, “Then you’re a bad constitutionalist.”
She then pressed on and insisted that Trump was shaking down Intel, in addition to unreasonably deploying the Guard units, saying, “Let’s say that a Democrat was deploying the National Guard to cities controlled by Republicans. Let’s say that a Democratic president was shaking down private businesses and saying, Give me 10% of Intel, and maybe I’ll make things more favorable…”
Gutfeld continued telling her that he supports those moves and so doesn’t care, leading to an increasingly irate Tarlov snapping that he needs to imaging, “exactly what Donald Trump is doing, but in the form of Barack Obama, on the 11th anniversary of tan suitgate, I might add, let’s say a Democratic president said, ‘I would like to control what goes in our museums. I would like to control American life on campus.'”
Then, after Gutfeld joked that she was describing a “dystopian universe” and the hour was getting late so the show had to end, Tarlov angrily ranted at him and the others, who chuckled at his remark, “They’re saying, ‘Sorry, we have to go.'” But you know that if a Democratic president was doing any of these things you would be irate!”
Chiming back in, Gutfeld then told her: “You can’t read my mind.” He then kept repeating that, saying that she couldn’t read his mind, as Tarlov insisted that she didn’t have to read his mind on this issue because she knows him, and thus his thoughts, reasonably well, saying, “I know you well enough.”

Gutfeld, deciding to get her hopping mad with a snide remark, said that she was a “Typical chick” in pretending that she could intuit what he was thinking and then use that made up thought against him. Fuming, Tarlov snapped, “Oh, you have now absolutely gone too far.”
Gutfeld then started laughing loudly as she fumed over his having gone too far, saying, “But you’re a real chick, okay” as the show cut from them to the commercial break. Watch them argue here:
