Overview
- The Five, which aired Wednesday, devolved into a yelling exchange after Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters pressed Jessica Tarlov on why people support President Donald Trump.
- Tarlov called Trump “a completely morally bankrupt person,” and Watters fired back that Democrats “don’t support standards of morality.”
- Watters escalated with extreme examples that cited drug use, homelessness, assault and “let other murderers into the country,” while guest host Paul Mauro invoked “Son of Sam.”
- Gutfeld, Watters and Mauro talked over Tarlov as she tried to argue that liking Trump leads to votes and policies that make life harder.
- A clip posted by the social media user Acyn spread widely as Mediaite, Raw Story and TV Insider reported the segment, and no formal response from Fox News has been reported.
