Fox’s Tarlov Defends Anti-ICE Protesters Against Cackling Co-Hosts
Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov defended ICE protesters and No Kings rally demonstrators as her co-hosts mocked them for dressing in inflatable animal costumes and singing.
On Friday’s The Five, the hosts covered Saturday’s planned-No Kings rallies and noted that arrests were made at a protest outside of an Illinois ICE facility where demonstrators and police clashed. Chicago’s ABC-7 reported that 11 arrests were made at the protest where some demonstrators could be seen singing and wearing animal costumes.
As Tarlov defended the No Kings rallies against President Donald Trump, Joey Jones jumped in to ask why liberal protesters are always dressing like “furries,” referring to the Illinois clashes.
“Why are they always dressed like a furry, screaming about boys and girls?” Jones asked, adding “they are ridiculous.”
Jones and Tarlov then clashed over whether these protesters are making an “intellectual” argument against the administration.
“It is an intellectual argument to say Kristi Noem — you’re making it up about what’s going on here at that ICE facility. Because I’m dressed as Pikachu and posing no threat? They arrested a guy who was singing!” Tarlov said.
“Did you hear it? His voice was terrible, Jessica. He deserved to be locked up,” Jesse Watters said as his co-hosts (except for Tarlov) laughed.
“Alright, Jesse, let’s bring the intellectuality to this,” she sarcastically responded.
Check out the exchange below:
JOEY JONES: The why are they always dressed like a furry, screaming about boys and girls?
JESSICA TARLOV: They’re not always. To show how ridiculous —
JONES: We just showed it. Like, they are ridiculous.
TARLOV: Wouldn’t you rather they be in a costume from Spirit Halloween than —
JONES: If they want to make some sort of intellectual argument, I don’t think dressing up like a unicorn and running out there and screaming every time you hear a drum beat is an intellectual argument.
TARLOV: It is an intellectual argument to say Kristi Noem — you’re making it up about what’s going on here at that ICE facility. Because I’m dressed as Pikachu and posing no threat? They arrested a guy who was singing!
JESSE WATTERS: Did you hear it? His voice was terrible, Jessica. He deserved to be locked up.
TARLOV: Alright, Jesse, let’s bring the intellectuality to this.
WATTERS: I celebrate New King’s Day on July 4th with the rest of the normal Americans by barbecuing and lighting off fireworks. The Democrats, every time they do gather together, it’s not mostly peaceful. The BLM riots, Portland, the anti-Musk protests.
