Overview
- On Thursday's broadcast of Fox News' The Five, liberal co-host Jessica Tarlov challenged her colleagues to imagine reacting to President Trump's actions if a Democrat did the same.
- Tarlov listed examples she associates with Trump, citing disregard for congressional appropriations and tariff powers, National Guard deployments to Republican-led cities, pressure on a private company for a 10% stake, and efforts to influence museums and campuses.
- She escalated with the line, "You would be losing your mind!" and told Greg Gutfeld he was "a bad constitutionalist" when he rejected her framing.
- Gutfeld argued she was applying bias and denied wrongdoing in the corporate stake example, saying "That's not shaking down"; HuffPost reported he also dismissed her with "Typical chick" before a commercial break.
- A clip of the exchange circulated widely on social media via an Acyn post and was covered by outlets including Raw Story, Mediaite, and HuffPost, with no reports of network disciplinary action.
