Jeanine Pirro fires back at Jessica Tarlov for claiming ‘Trump is selfish’, calls him ‘most generous’
WASHINGTON, DC: Fox News’ 'The Five' co-hosts Jeanine Pirro and Jessica Tarlov found themselves engaging in a fiery exchange over former president Donald Trump's alleged selfishness.
The argument started during the Tuesday, September 10, segment, when Fox News anchor Dana Perino asked Tarlov if she anticipated that Vice President Kamala Harris would label Trump as "selfish" during their presidential debate.
Tarlov responded unequivocally, asserting, “For sure, because Trump is selfish.”
Jessica Tarlov slams Donald Trump's self-serving behavior and 'toxic' appeal
According to the Mediaite, Jeanine Perino questioned Jessica Tarlov’s stance, prompting co-host Greg Gutfeld to interject, “He just got shot! Running for president! Boy, that’s selfish! He almost died for this job!”
Tarlov countered, “If you look at all of what’s coming out of these court cases and the evidence, he’s stiffed everyone from contractors, he’s cheated on everyone that he’s been married to, he demeans people, he can’t even stop demeaning someone he’s been found liable of sexually assaulting.”
She added, “It’s all about the self with Donald Trump and he preys upon people who believe this toxicity."
“There’s no way that Donald Trump would be campaigning, calling Kamala Harris ‘Kambala’ unless there were racists in his party that he thought that would appeal to.”
Jeanine Pirro accuses Democrats of hatred and conspiracy
Jeanine Pirro, clearly agitated at Jessica Tarlov's comments, shot back: “You hate them personally and the Democrats hate Republicans! As soon as he got elected, Republicans were unfriended by all the Democrats, they wouldn’t speak to us anymore."
"The Democrats are the party of hate. The Democrats are the party that said, ‘He’s a Putin asset, he’s a Russian puppet.’ The Democrats are the ones who signed affidavits and lied to a court so that they could spy on a president of the United States. The Democrats are the ones who said that we’re destroying democracy.”
She continued her defense, claiming, “Donald Trump is one of the most generous people you’ll ever meet. He does all kinds of things that people have no idea about."
"And by the way, if he were selfish, he’d take his money and tell all of us to go f**k ourselves based upon the way this country has treated him. This guy got shot! Don’t tell me he’s selfish!”
Jessica Tarlov challenges Trump’s Jewish voter remarks
Not one to back down, Jessica Tarlov brought up Donald Trump’s controversial remark about Jewish voters.
“What do you think about him saying Jews are absolute fools if they vote for Democrats?" she asked.
Jeanine Pirro responded saying, “Donald Trump is the only one who moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.”
Tarlov retorted with a mock, “The Jewish king. Why aren’t Jews voting for him?”
Pirro’s final words in the heated exchange were, “I’m not going to fight with you anymore, Jessica, but I know the man.”
While Trump seeks Jewish voters for the 2024 election, he has criticized Jewish Democrats, labeling them as “absolute fools” and accusing them of needing “their head examined”.
He has hit out at prominent Jewish politicians, something that has been condemned by Jewish advocates and some of Trump’s allies, who view it as detrimental to his efforts to win over Jewish voters.
Notably, Trump recently disparaged Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as a “highly overrated Jewish Governor” on Truth Social.
