Trump Blasts ‘Real Loser’ Fox News Host Over Using NYC Mass Shooting to Push Agenda
The article reports on former President Donald Trump’s criticism of Jessica Tarlov, a liberal co-host on Fox News’s show “The Five.” This came after Tarlov delivered an emotional monologue supporting gun control in response to a recent mass shooting in New York City that left four people dead before the shooter took his own life. Tarlov praised local leaders such as NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch and Mayor Eric Adams for their responses and agreed with New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s call for a new assault weapons ban. She emphasized the importance of discussing gun control as a means to prevent similar tragedies, despite acknowledging that it’s impossible to stop all violent incidents.In reaction, Trump expressed his strong dislike for Tarlov on social media, calling her a “real loser,” continuing a pattern of previous public criticisms directed at her due to her political views and commentary.
President Donald Trump declared his particular disdain for Jessica Tarlov of “The Five” on Wednesday, voicing annoyance at the Fox News resident liberal co-host after she voiced support for gun control in reaction to Monday’s shooting in New York City.
Tarlov embarked on an emotionally charged monologue after the massacre, in which four people were killed before the shooter committed suicide on the 33rd floor of 345 Park Avenue.
She commended NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch and New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams for their reactions to the incident before offering her take on gun control.
First, she agreed with New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul’s call for a new ban on so-called assault weapons.
You can’t be tough on crime if you’re weak on guns.
We need a national assault weapon ban.

Then, Tarlov reiterated that discussion of gun control was warranted.
“How did he get a concealed carry license even in Nevada? How are these things happening? And I don’t think that it hurts the conversation or takes us backward at all to consider how we might prevent one of these things from happening,” Tarlov said of the shooter.
“You will never be able to stop all of the lunatics,” she added.
“But if you stopped this one, we’d have four people that were alive today who certainly deserve to, and I don’t see why that it’s a bad thing to do that.”

It was not the first time Trump blasted the liberal Fox News commentator.
Last month, he asked why Fox News allows “failed TV personality Jessica Tarlov to ‘soil’ The Five.”
“Her voice, her manner, and above all else, what she says, are a disgrace to television broadcasting,” he said, noting that Tarlov had been discussing his poll numbers in an unfavorable way.
