NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: During a recent segment on Fox News' 'The Five', co-hosts Jessica Tarlov and Jeanine Pirro engaged in a heated debate regarding former President Donald Trump's apprehensions about potential imprisonment.

Right after Tarlov asserted her control over the commercial breaks by stating, "No. Commercial break is when I am done."

Debate flares as Jessica Tarlov accuses Donald Trump of legal avoidance

Tarlov, continuing her statements, said, "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."

She then added, "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 is doing his darndest 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". 

Pirro interjected confidently, "He's not afraid of anything."

Tarlov, unimpressed, retorted, "Oh, big man, not afraid. Whatever," as Pirro persisted, "I know him. He's not."

Tarlov countered, "You may know him, but I don't think a man who refuses to sleep in a hotel bed is eager to go to jail. So, let's not deny the obvious."

To add context, Trump currently faces legal battles on four fronts, with federal and state indictments concerning his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, allegations of mishandling classified documents, and accusations of falsifying business records related to payments to Stormy Daniels.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump protested, "These animals want to put the former President of the United States (who got more votes than any sitting President!), & the PARTY’S REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE, IN JAIL, for doing absolutely nothing wrong. It is a RUSH TO THE FINISH. SO UNFAIR!".

Another person said, "If I see she is talking I skip the whole thing. Don’t need to hear a bunch of delusional left wing crap."
