Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov Torches Trump’s ‘Complete, Absolute Dumpster Fire’ Performance at NABJ Event

Fox News host Jessica Tarlov minced no words in her evaluation of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s performance at the National Association of Black Journalists conference on Wednesday.

Asked for her reaction by Martha MacCallum, the co-host of The Five replied, “My reaction is that it was a complete, absolute dumpster fire for the former president. I don’t feel the need to give him any credit for showing up there because he came with a terrible attitude.”

She continued:

He hit all of his regular hits, lying about his record for Black Americans, the comparison saying he’s done the most for the Black community since Abraham Lincoln is obviously ridiculous. Unemployment is lower for Black Americans under Joe Biden than Donald Trump. Everybody knows that. Even Donald Trump knows that. People have told him he just won’t stop.

I thought that he was rude and offensive to the questioners. I don’t think in response to what Joe was saying, that asking him, for instance, about calling Kamala Harris a DEI hire is going into debate mode. This is who his opponent is. And then his response that she used to be Indian and is now somehow black was offensive, no matter the color.

MacCallum tried to jump back in by observing “We all know, alright, look: She has an Indian mother and a Jamaican father-”

“Right, she’s Black!” exclaimed Tarlov.

“We don’t have to, she has an Indian mother and a Black father, so those are two different backgrounds,” responded MacCallum.

In addition to musing that Harris “became a Black person” after previously “only promoting her Indian heritage” — a false accusation — Trump sparred with moderator Rachel Scott over her “very nasty” first question, threw his running mate, JD Vance, under the bus, and more during his very eventful appearance at the conference on Wednesday.
