Tarlov’s Fox Co-Hosts Interrupt Her Repeatedly When She Reminds Them Trump Criticized Netanyahu

 

Jessica Tarlov was immediately interrupted by two of her co-hosts when she brought up Donald Trump’s remarks criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as the former president’s claim that Hezbollah is “very smart.”

Speaking in Florida last week, Trump criticized Netanyahu for allegedly not helping the U.S. assassinate Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in January 2020.

“I’ll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down,” he said. “That was a very terrible thing.”

Earlier in the day, Trump stated the prime minister “was not prepared” ahead of the terrorist attacks launched against Israel two weeks ago. Elsewhere, he called the Hezbollah militant organization “very smart.”

On Thursday’s edition of The Five on Fox News, Tarlov brought up Trump’s remarks about Netanyahu and Hezbollah, but was promptly shut down by co-hosts Jesse Watters and Jeanine Pirro.

Tarlov criticized Trump for withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal. Watters responded by saying Iran is “stronger than ever” because of President Joe Biden’s policies.

“Iran is stronger than ever now, Jessica,” he said. “They’re richer than ever. They’re stronger than ever and they weren’t like that under Donald Trump. That’s a fact.”

Tarlov then alluded to Trump’s comments and joked he belongs to Hezbollah.

“Donald Trump of Hezbollah is very smart,” she said. “And Bibi let us down was also one of his key quotes.”

Pirro interrupted and Tarlov tried to reclaim her time.

“You know–” Pirro began.

“You know what?!” Tarlov exclaimed.

“Israel was never attacked like this under Donald Trump,” Watters interjected.

“I love this game,” Tarlov said.

“Stop worrying about the tweets,” Pirro said.

“He said it out of his mouth,” Tarlov shot back.

“Oh good,” Pirro replied.
