Tensions reached a boiling point on Fox News’ hit show *The Five* this week during a heated exchange between co-hosts Judge Jeanine Pirro and liberal commentator Jessica Tarlov. As usual, Tarlov, the lone progressive voice on the panel, found herself on the defensive as she launched yet another predictable attack on former President Donald Trump. This time, she parroted leftist talking points by labeling Trump as “selfish,” igniting a fiery response from the other co-hosts.
The debate kicked off when Dana Perino raised a question regarding Vice President Kamala Harris potentially labeling Trump as “selfish” during upcoming political debates. As if on cue, Tarlov confidently chimed in, “For sure. Because Trump is selfish.” Her baseless statement, clearly intended to rile up the panel, was swiftly met with skepticism by Perino and others. But it was Greg Gutfeld’s biting wit that cut through the noise: “He just got shot, running for president! Boy, that’s selfish! He almost died for this job!”
Despite the pushback, Tarlov clung to her narrative, recycling familiar attacks on Trump’s character. She claimed, “He’s stiffed contractors, cheated on his wives, demeans people, and preys on donors and big industries.” But what she failed to mention is how Trump’s economic policies, including historic tax cuts, benefited *millions* of hardworking Americans, not just the wealthy elites she alluded to.
Tarlov even dared to defend House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s divisive rhetoric, suggesting there’s a “factual reality” to Pelosi’s offensive claims that Trump supporters are racist, sexist, and homophobic. This tone-deaf defense of Pelosi’s incendiary language did not sit well with Judge Jeanine, who quickly jumped in to remind viewers of the real source of division in this country: the Democratic Party.
“You hate them personally, and the Democrats hate Republicans!” Judge Jeanine exclaimed, laying bare the truth about the left’s ongoing smear campaign against conservatives. She didn’t stop there, pointing out that Democrats, from day one, have been obsessed with tearing down Trump, even resorting to lies and false accusations to do so. “The Democrats are the party that said, ‘He’s a Putin asset, he’s a Russian puppet,’” Pirro reminded the audience, referencing the baseless Russia collusion hoax that wasted millions of taxpayer dollars and tarnished Trump’s presidency.
Judge Jeanine wasn’t having any of Tarlov’s tired talking points. She made it clear that if Trump were truly selfish, as the left claims, he would have walked away from politics long ago. Instead, Trump continues to fight for the American people despite facing relentless attacks from the media and the Democratic Party. “Donald Trump is one of the most generous people you’ll ever meet,” Judge Jeanine said, adding, “If he were selfish, he’d take his money and tell all of us to go ‘F’ ourselves based upon the way this country has treated him.”
The moment that truly encapsulated the left’s hypocrisy came when Pirro reminded viewers of the deep hatred Democrats harbor for Trump and his supporters. From calling them “deplorables” to fabricating Russian collusion, the Democrats have weaponized lies to maintain power. It’s no surprise that Tarlov’s latest anti-Trump tirade fell flat in the face of facts and reason.
In the end, this explosive exchange on *The Five* revealed not only the irrationality of liberal attacks on Trump but also highlighted the unwavering defense of conservative values by co-hosts like Judge Jeanine. While the left continues to push a narrative of division and hate, Trump’s commitment to the American people remains steadfast, and his legacy of fighting for this country is stronger than ever.
