‘No, No, No – Commercial Break Is When I Am Done with This’: Fox’s Jessica Tarlov Insists on Making Full Rebuttal to Conservative Co-Hosts
Fox’s Jessica Tarlov ensured the network did not cut to commercial break during her monologue, where she trashed former President Donald Trump.
During a Wednesday airing of The Five, the panel discussed the effectiveness of President Joe Biden’s strategy to claim Trump is a “threat to democracy.”
Jeanine Pirro accused the Democrats of weaponizing the Department of Justice to prosecute Trump and claimed the party is trying to remove the Republican nominee from state ballots for his actions on Jan. 6, 2021.
Before Tarlov could rebut her colleagues, Jesse Watters noted they were 30 seconds away from a commercial break. Tarlov then jokingly demanded she receive more time to make her argument:
TARLOV: That was a very rich discussion. I’m going to try to address as many of the points as I possibly can–
WATTERS: We have a commercial break in about 30 seconds.
TARLOV: No, no, no. Commercial break is when I am done with this. So, the “threat to democracy” point is not working. And all of the good pollsters have made that point very clear to the Biden administration that actually the messaging that works is about the mundane stuff that people want to hear about lowering prescription drug prices and things like the debt and the deficit and preserving Medicare and Social Security, those are all encompassed in the economy, right? Like how you’re doing and how your family’s going to survive, looking ahead to the future.
So, that point is definitely out there. But to say that Joe Biden is the threat to democracy, considering what Donald Trump and his band of lawyers tried to pull off in 2020 is complete insanity. He dispatched lawyers all over the country to overturn a free and fair election. A lot of them have pled out to doing this. A lot of them are still to face trial, and he’s doing his darnedest to make sure that he doesn’t have to show up in any of these courtrooms, because he’s definitely afraid of what’s going to happen there.
