During a recent segment of “The Five,” Judge Jeanine Pirro sounded off on co-host Jessica Tarlov regarding the Congressional dispute over whether transgender representative Sarah McBride will use the women’s or men’s bathroom at the Capitol. As Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has enacted measures to defend the women’s bathroom, the issue has become increasingly contentious.
Tarlov began by slamming the bill Mace introduced that would ban men in Congress from using the men’s restroom. “This bill, it’s so nasty, and it’s for no reason. And good on Sarah McBride and good on the Democratic caucus for standing up for her because it’s so lame…“ Gutfeld quickly interjected, “That’s false compassion. That’s false compassion.”
Tarlov fired back, “Really? Why? Do you think — would you ever notice, if Sarah McBride walked into the room, you’ve seen her, would you….“ Gutfeld maintained, “That’s not the point. That’s not the point. What you are doing, you’ve got to step back and look. You are talking about a system that changes for a tiny percentage of people. You are asking a lot of people they have every right to say no.”
“Why didn’t she ever say anything before Sarah McBride existed?” Tarlov questioned. Jumping in the conversation, Pirro pointed out, “Because she is confronted by this situation in Congress.” However, Tarlov pushed back on this assertion, claiming that Mace should not be concerned with McBride. “Nancy Mace is not afraid of Sarah McBride,” she said.
Pirro then argued that allowing anyone to enter bathrooms based on identity could present serious issues. “Didn’t you learn that the American people don’t want this? That the majority of people don’t want to be kowtowing to a .01% of people who want to enter into my bathroom? I don’t want a guy who is dressed as a woman, who thinks he’s a woman, whether he has his thing or not, I don’t want him in my bathroom. I don’t want to think about him. I don’t want to Wash my hands near him. I don’t want him in there. You know what? Get your own freaking bathroom. Go in your own unisex… “ she said.
Firing back at Pirro, Tarlov claimed, “She has her own bathroom.” Pirro responded, “Go in your own unisex bathroom.” Asking in confusion, Jesse Watters chimed in, “What? She has own bathroom?” Building on this Pirro said, “Wait a minute. All members of Congress have their own bathroom.” Tarlov added clarity to her prior comment stating, “She said, ‘I will use my own bathroom.’”
Doubling down, Pirro said, “But you know what, good for Nancy Mace. Nancy Mace is doubling down and saying, on all federal properties. And by the way, people like Seth Moulton, we were giving him so much credit, why did he wait until after the election to talk about the fact, about men in girls’ sports? Why did he wait? Because they don’t have the chutzpah. Now that they lost, you better learn why you lost. You claim to be so tolerant. You are not tolerant at all. You have to be tolerant of the majority and they have to work their way around the majority. They’re not equal to everybody else in terms of Title IX, they are not a specific category. So fight in your own category and go to the bathroom in your own category.”
