‘Did You Actually Just Say That to Me?’ Jessica Tarlov Indignant After ‘Incredibly Rude’ Jesse Watters Gets Personal

 

Jessica Tarlov accused Jesse Watters of being “rude” after he mocked her for being a renter.

During a discussion about Donald Trump’s legal woes on Monday’s edition of The Five, Tarlov said that “people don’t want to vote for a convicted felon.” The former president faces criminal indictments in four jurisdictions. One of those is Manhattan, where Trump will go on trial on April 15 for allegedly falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments. He has pleaded not guilty.

Separately, in Trump’s civil fraud case, the former president successfully appealed the value of the bond he must post after he was found liable for fraud. In that case, a judge found that Trump inflated the value of his properties to obtain favorable rates from lenders and insurers.

“The average real estate investor isn’t inflating the worth of their–” Tarlov said before being interrupted.

“You don’t know anything about real estate, Jessica,” Watters said. “You rent.”

Tarlov’s four co-hosts laughed, but she did not.

“Did you actually just say that to me?” she asked incredulously.

Watters went on to praise Trump’s real estate acumen before Tarlov spoke again and rebuked her co-host.

“He’s been given due process,” she said. “He’s gotten almost all of his requests – from the Supreme Court down to the state courts – [granted]. And what you just said – beyond the incredibly rude way that you began about the fact that I rent my apartment – is basically giving him carte blanche to do everything from storing classified documents and flouting subpoenas and not returning them to fomenting an insurrection after he lost an election by millions of votes.”
