Jessica Tarlov Criticizes Co-Host Over Election Acceptance Comments on Fox News
Jessica Tarlov, a political pundit and host on Fox News, made headlines on Monday evening with a sharp response to her co-host Jeanine Pirro during a discussion on the upcoming 2024 election. The conversation took place on the popular Fox News show *The Five*, which also features Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, and Jesse Watters.
Pirro expressed her hope that Democrats would remain peaceful if Vice President Kamala Harris were to lose the election, citing concerns about potential unrest from the left. However, Tarlov quickly countered Pirro’s remarks by referencing the January 6, 2021, storming of the US Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump. Tarlov’s retort, “January 6th would like a word,” highlighted the irony in Pirro’s concerns given the historical context of the Capitol riot, which involved tens of thousands of Trump supporters and resulted in criminal cases against 1,243 participants according to the Department of Justice.
Tarlov’s response was characteristic of her role as a liberal voice on *The Five*, a position that has earned her the description as the “liberal that Fox News viewers love to hate” by *The New York Times*.
The exchange reflects the ongoing tensions and differing perspectives within the political landscape as the 2024 election approaches. Tarlov’s comments underscore the importance of historical context and the need for balanced discourse in political discussions.
