Trump Slams Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov as a “Real Loser” After Emotional Gun Control Segment on The Five
Once again, Donald Trump has set the media world buzzing.
This time, the former president targeted Fox News host Jessica Tarlov following a highly emotional segment on The Five discussing gun control and a recent deadly stabbing in New York.
The Segment That Sparked Controversy
In the viral clip, Tarlov reacted to the incident, which left four people dead, by calling for stricter gun laws and advocating for the reinstatement of the federal assault weapons ban.
She argued that stricter regulations had previously reduced mass shootings and questioned how the suspect had obtained a concealed carry license in Nevada.
“If you stopped this one, we’d have four people alive today,” Tarlov said during the tearful segment.
Her remarks quickly caught attention—not just from viewers, but from Trump himself.
Trump Fires Back on Truth Social
Within hours, Trump responded with a direct takedown on Truth Social:
“I can’t stand Jessica Tarlov of THE FIVE. A real loser!!!”
This was not the first time Tarlov has drawn Trump’s ire. Earlier in the year, he called her “wacky,” “jittery,” and “absolutely terrible,” criticizing her for what he described as “knowingly wrong” facts and a “grating” presentation style.
“Her facts are knowingly wrong, her jittery presentation is horrendous and, forgive me, her VOICE is grating and unendurable… It is important to expose Fake News, & Fake People!” he wrote in a previous post.
A Lone Liberal Voice on a Conservative Show
Tarlov is often the only liberal perspective on The Five, a Fox News roundtable known for its conservative leanings.
Supporters argue she provides much-needed balance on the show, while critics, especially Trump loyalists, claim she disrupts the network’s brand.
Trump has previously warned that voices like Tarlov’s risk alienating the network’s core audience. Yet The Five continues to draw massive ratings, despite the ongoing debate over her presence.
Public Reaction
The clash has reignited discussions about political bias in media and the challenges networks face in balancing viewpoints. Tarlov’s academic background and experience in political commentary have not insulated her from criticism, showing the complex landscape of modern cable news where every segment can quickly become a national talking point.
