WATCH: FNC’s Jesse Watters Takes Tarlov To Task In Epic Exchange

During a bitter battle on Fox News Channel’s “The Five,” FNC host Jesse Watters schooled leftist co-host Jessica Tarlov on the verdict against former President Donald Trump, with Watters pointing out all of New York AG Letitia James’ shortcomings and challenging Tarlov on her claims about Trump. Watters went nuclear on her after she accused him of “sexually assaulting women,” “storing classified documents in the toilet,” and inflating business asset values.

The spat began with Tarlov snapping, “I think emotion is hot at the table and there’s not emanating from me. So since Donald Trump ran the first time he has been making this argument. ‘If they could do this to me, they could do this to you.’ The average person is not inflating their wealth by 800 million to $2.2 billion, not sexually assaulting women. They are not storing classified documents in the toilet. They’re not fomenting an insurrection. Mar a Lago, you remember that?”

Gutfeld responded to Tarlov first. Fighting with her about the propriety of Trump giving a rosy view of the value of his buildings in negotiations, he said, “I’ll tell, I’ll tell you what I do. Because I’m glad you asked. When you’re in a contract negotiation with a company, let’s say your contract is up. And your company says, ‘We want to renew your contract,’ and they don’t give you a bump in the raise. That’s the beginning.”

Continuing, he said, “And then you come back and you go, ‘you know what, I’m gonna ask for the frickin Moon, which I always do. And I know I’m not gonna get the moon. But I also know at the end of the day, they’re gonna see everything I can say I want $100 million over the next six months.’ They’re gonna laugh, laugh, laugh, but that doesn’t mean I broke the law. It means this is what you put down in a negotiation. And as the judge said, it’s all transparent. They actually see there is no fraud here, which is why you’re bringing up other stuff.”

Watters then joined in. He fired back at Tarlov, “I was gonna say you obviously, with respect, Jessica, know nothing about real estate, real estate valuations, real estate development, or the IRS or getting loans from big banks to develop skylines in New York City.”

Continuing, he added, “Donald Trump did more for New York City than a thousand Letitia James have done. And if you look at this history of this case, she’s gone after now, Cuomo, Donald Trump, the NRA, the NYPD, and she’s done nothing on street crime, nothing on real white collar crime. And then her phony friend Alvin Bragg, if you just try to defend yourself working in a bodega or on the subway, he goes after you. That’s why 160 businesses have left New York. That’s why almost a million New Yorkers have left.”

Watch their spat here:

Trashing Tarlov on Twitter in response to the incident, one commenter said, “What is so sad about how Jessica reacted to Trump’s verdict is that her father was an attorney and she doesn’t know the constitution. Plus, she was born in Manhattan and does not remember what Trump did for NY city.” Another added, “Sometimes I catch the Five. When I see Tarlov I skip it. Don’t need Geraldo 2.0. They should keep that 5th spot open to guests, make it more interesting.”
