Fox News host Jessica Tarlov, the lone liberal voice on the hit talk show “The Five,” continues to frustrate conservative viewers with her left-wing talking points and predictable defenses of Democratic policies. Tarlov’s constant clashes with her co-hosts—who typically bring facts and common sense to the discussion—have led to numerous viral moments, with conservatives questioning why she remains employed at the network.

Conservative commentator and self-proclaimed “Mayor of Magadonia” Josh Dunlap recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to ask his followers whether Tarlov is among the “worst news reporters” on television. The post sparked a heated debate, with many suggesting that Tarlov’s overt liberal bias makes her unfit for Fox News.

“Fox needs to replace her,” one user bluntly stated. Others noted that while it’s good to have a dissenting voice, Tarlov’s constant spin for the left is exhausting. “She could be good, but she’s over-the-top partisan and blind to her bias. That’s the only thing holding her back. It’s good to have both perspectives, but that can’t be at the expense of reality and truth,” another commenter argued.

Some acknowledged that Tarlov is merely playing a role and that her inflammatory statements are likely part of an effort to create controversy. “While I cringe at her remarks, she was hired for the role. Don’t be too harsh. She’s not a reporter. She is an editorial writer,” one person pointed out.

This distinction between reporters and opinion hosts is critical. As another user noted, “She’s not really a news reporter. She’s an opinion person. We have to make a distinction between reporters and talking heads. Talking heads speak opinions and reporters report news. Tarlov, Laura Ingraham, Maddow, Joy Reid—these are all talking heads. Opinion vs real news.”

Heated Clash Over Trump’s Immigration Policy

Tarlov’s latest run-in with reality came during a heated exchange with co-host Greg Gutfeld following President Donald Trump’s second inauguration. The two sparred over Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship—an issue that has been at the center of conservative immigration policy for years.

“Americans voted for it, that’s the difference,” Gutfeld declared, pointing out that the electorate chose Trump to fix a broken system.

Tarlov, as expected, pushed back. “Did you vote to revoke birthright citizenship for immigrants who are here legally?” she asked. “I think when Donald Trump was talking about it and disparaging people over here, he was talking about undocumented people who come and drop their anchor babies. He wasn’t talking about people who are students here, people who are on H1-B visas.”

Gutfeld wasn’t buying it. “You’re always going to choose this weird exception! The fact is the system is being gamed,” he shot back. “The fact is, Americans voted for Donald Trump because they saw these systems, these institutions, being gamed. The asylum issue, the birthright citizenship issue, the Title IX issue. Every single part of society was being gamed by the left, and finally, Americans got pushed too far.”

Trump Restores the Meaning of American Citizenship

Trump’s executive order, titled *Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship*, reinforced the original intent of the Fourteenth Amendment, which has been grossly misinterpreted by the left to grant automatic citizenship to children born to illegal immigrants. The order states:

“The Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof.’ Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified through legislation that ‘a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof’ is a national and citizen of the United States at birth, 8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment’s text.”

This move is a significant victory for Americans who have long been frustrated by the abuse of birthright citizenship, a loophole exploited by illegal immigrants and foreign nationals seeking to plant roots in the U.S. with no regard for its laws. It’s yet another example of Trump following through on his promise to put America first.

As for Tarlov, her ongoing attempts to defend the indefensible only serve to highlight how out of touch the left has become. While Fox News continues to provide a platform for opposing views, viewers are increasingly questioning whether Tarlov’s presence serves an informative purpose—or if she’s simply playing a role to stir the pot.
