“Did You Actually Just Say That To Me”: Tarlov Goes Nuclear On Jesse Watters During “The Five” Spat [WATCH]

During a fight on “The Five,” the show’s left-leaning co-host Jessica Tarlov furiously snapped at one of the show’s more right-leaning co-hosts, Jesse Watters, when he mocked her in what she thought was a “rude” way. The latest fight was one of many between the hosts, with Tarlov and Watters tending to bicker on the show.

Their spat came when the panel of “The Five” discussed former President Donald Trump’s legal woes. Tarlov, attempting to dunk on the former president and his backers. argued that “people don’t want to vote for a convicted felon.” Her comments come as Trump prepares to face an April 15 trial over allegations he falsified business records to cover up a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels, a charge he has pleaded not guilty to.Further, they come amidst Trump’s continuing fight with New York Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron over the civil fraud case brought against him by AG James. The appellate court recently cut the amount Trump needs to pay in half, an amount Trump has said that he not only can pay, but can pay in cash.

Tarlov, in any case, tried to use Judge Engoron’s finding in the case to bash Trump, claiming that he inflated the value of his real estate holdings in an illegal way, the ruling of Judge Engoron. She said, “The average real estate investor isn’t inflating the worth of their–” That’s when she was interrupted by Watters, who joked, “You don’t know anything about real estate, Jessica. You rent.”

It was meant to be lighthearted and fun, and four of the co-hosts laughed. All but Tarlov. Furious with Watter for his joke at her expense, she snapped, “Did you actually just say that to me?” Watters, not doing much to address her fury with him, praised Trump’s skill at handling and profiting from real estate, sticking up for the former president’s business acumen.

Tarlov, still snapping mad, went back on the attack both against Trump and Watters. First attacking the idea that Trump has not gotten a fair hearing from the court system, Tarlov spat back, “He’s been given due process.” She continued, “He’s gotten almost all of his requests – from the Supreme Court down to the state courts.”

She then went back to attacking Watters for his joke at her expense, saying, “And what you just said – beyond the incredibly rude way that you began about the fact that I rent my apartment – is basically giving him carte blanche to do everything from storing classified documents and flouting subpoenas and not returning them to fomenting an insurrection after he lost an election by millions of votes.”

Watters also said, pushing back on Tarlov’s characterization of the cases against Trump, “They don’t want to see him actually convicted at all, they just want to see him convicted before the election. They don’t care what happens after the election, that is the whole point of this.” He continued, “Joe Biden has unleashed the hounds and Fani’s talking about the Fani train. Come on. If you take the Trump train and the Fani train and you go like this, my money is on the Trump train. Choo-choo, Fani.”

He added, “Remember after 9/11, Jessica, how we treated Khalid Sheikh Mohammed? Your Democrat lawyers flew down to get to represent him. ‘They need constitutional rights. They need all of the rights that they should have the right to appeal, the right to due process and the right to a trial,’ They are giving terrorists more respect than Donald Trump. They said, this is what makes America, America. Now they are just destroying this man. They don’t care about precedent. They are trying to attack him any way they can.”
