Trump calls Fox News' Jessica Tarlov ‘loser’ for advocating gun control as she honors NYC shooting victims

WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump took a jab at Fox News host Jessica Tarlov and called her a "real loser" as she offered her take on gun control while honoring the victims of the New York City shooting.

A 27-year-old man named Shane Tamura was responsible for the mass shooting that occurred at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan on Monday, July 28, that killed four people, one police officer, and three civilians.

Fox News host Jessica Tarlov dubbed 'real loser' by Donald Trump

Donald Trump took to Truth Social and wrote, "I can’t stand Jessica Tarlov of THE FIVE. A real loser!!! DJT."

Interestingly, Trump made the post on Tuesday, July 29 at 5:13 pm, when Tarlov was live and offered tribute to the NYC shooting victims.

She said, "I’m completely devastated and heartbroken by this. It’s, you know, where I grew up. I know people who know both of the female victims, Julia Hyman and Wesley LePatner, who seem like incredible people and members of their community."

"Julia Hyman, only four years out of college, just getting started. Wesley LePatner’s two children away at camp. And this is the news that they get on a phone call," Tarlov added.

She continued, "What a hero. I didn’t know. And I still don’t know much about the second officer, but Officer Islam, hearing that last night that he has two kids and an eight-month pregnant wife. Unimaginable. I don’t know how women go through this. And I know that this happens with a lot of couples where someone is serving, you know, at home or abroad."

"I don’t know how you carry on a pregnancy when you have lost your partner like that. And I wish her all the strength in the world," Tarlov said.

She then talked about gun control and praised the New York City police commissioner saying, "Jessica Tisch continues to impress at an astounding level to me. I thought Mayor Adams was also good yesterday, but as we are on the precipice of another election, I can’t help but say again, I wish that Jessica Tisch had felt that she was ready right now."

"Maybe she runs again in the next election, but I feel that she embodies the grace and the professionalism and the efficiency that Mayor Bloomberg did, and I would welcome that," Tarlov also mentioned.

Meanwhile, she then added, "On the gun control front, what Kathy Hochul is talking about is the fact that when we did have an assault weapons ban from 1994 to 2004, we saw a decrease in mass shootings in this country. 70 percent less likely to happen. And then when the ban sunsetted, it spiked back up. That’s what she’s talking about. And you say, this is a crazy person. This isn’t the norm."

Moreover, Tarlov said, "He had his prescription meds on him, apparently, according to the reporting. 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."

"You will never be able to stop all of the lunatics. But if you stopped this one, we’d have four people that were alive today who certainly deserve to be. And I don’t see why that’s a bad thing to do," she added.
