It's become all too predictable over the past two plus months, since the start of the Iran War, tune into the liberal media and watch as Donald Trump, the United States, and Israel are presented as the bad guys, while our enemy Iran, is given a pass. Friday on Fox News's The Five, token liberal Jessica Tarlov followed that script, and she was called out hard by Jesse Watters.
The segment began with a clip of Kamala Harris ripping President Trump, using the word, "Bull****".
HARRIS CLIP: When you look at this war in Iran which the American people do not want, which was not authorized by Congress, but even if it was, it should not have been initiated. He talked about obliterating, and then he said oh he didn't. It's all just [bleep].... I'm not going to dismiss him as being an idiot. He is dangerous.
I guess she would know if he were an idiot. Kayleigh McEnany then pointed out the hypocrisy in Harris's statement, before Tarlov came to Harris's defense.
McENANY: In an October 2024 60 Minutes interview, Kamala Harris was asked who the greatest adversary to the world was and she said Iran. And now it's just BS.
TARLOV: No, the way Donald Trump is going about taking away Iran's nuclear capacity, which we haven't seen that come to fruition is what she's saying is B.S. Not that Iran isn't a real threat. Everyone knows Iran is a real threat. They have been for 47 years. We know that Netanyahu pitched the same war to Joe Biden and Barack Obama and he only got Donald Trump to bite.. That's what she's saying here.
No, in fact Harris said absolutely none of what Tarlov claimed she said in that clip. Then came her obligatory Trump bashing.
TARLOV: The idea that we are in the midst of a ceasefire because it's just a love tap isn't backed up by reality. Iran says we are not in a ceasefire and it does take two to tango with a ceasefire.... And now apparently we may get a 30-day pause so that we can hopefully get a bigger deal. I hope that that's the case. We hear from our administration, Iran, they're on the back foot, all this economic sanctions are being totally crushed. They are going to fall tomorrow, no, the next day, the next day. Now there is a new CIA report that Iran could survive a naval blockade for three to four months....They have dug in....We know that China can prop them up. They can certainly give them the money they need to keep surviving here....I hope we get a compromise.... But the imminent collapse of Iran that we were promised, has not come to fruition.
Tarlov's source for the CIA report was apparently The Washington Post. When Watters had his turn, he challenged her point by point.
WATTERS: Jessica says China's gonna give them money. How, Jessica? There's a blockade, you can't get anything in or out. It is a fragile ceasefire but we are going to defend ourselves.... The New York Times is reporting they're leaking oil all over the Strait. It's an environmental catastrophe. Where's Al Gore?
Isn't it funny, you don't hear any Democrats complaining about Iran. You listen to Jessica and she doesn't say anything about Iran. All talk's about how Donald Trump's the bad guy here. They're slaughtering women, they're polluting the Strait. They have blocked the Strait which has caused energy prices to rise, and they are lobbing missiles at civilian targets, and they're always like "Donald Trump this, Donald Trump that." Last week it was this war cost too much. They said it was $25 billion. Guess what, we just sold $25 billion of weapons our allies....Read the news Jessica, 25 billion.
Tarlov's response was pathetic.
TARLOV: That doesn't include the repairs that we have to make to all of the equipment that they destroyed.
WATTERS: You also said that we're running out of missiles. How we're running out of missiles if we are selling all of the missiles to our friends in the Middle East? Another leak from the CIA, anonymous sources during the Trump administration. Iran has 75% of their missile still. Really? We're still going to buy anonymous leaks from the CIA deep state to hurt Trump? They have four to six months left. Really?
Tarlov protecting Harris, bashing Trump, ignoring Iran's atrocities -- nothing new to see here from Tarlov.
