I have a sneaking suspicion that if someone were to gently rap their knuckles on the head of Fox News liberal commentator Jessica Tarlov, like a melon at the market, we’d discover her brain is not quite ripe yet. Evidence for my theory comes to us from the controversy Tarlov recently sparked during an episode of “The Five,” where she made a few comments about President Donald Trump and what she thinks he ought to do in order to bring the war between Israel and Palestine to an end.
The segment kicked off with the roundtable of co-hosts chatting about the president’s plan to take over the Gaza Strip; however, once Tarlov opened her yap and urged Trump to allow Palestinian residents to come to the U.S. until the area is rebuilt, the proverbial you-know-what hit the fan.
“Listen, the two-state solution that we have all wanted for decades is illusive, and unfortunately, I think it will continue to be so. And lots of people have tried to get it done and have failed. Not just in the U.S. This was a huge issue for Tony Blair, who dedicated his career to trying to do this and couldn’t pull it off. So, no, I personally do not have a better solution at this moment. But I know that this solution is untenable, certainly to the Arab countries that surround Palestine. It would be clear that they are not bringing these people in. Former prime minister of Jordan said this is a declaration of war on the Arab people. And if he is such a humanitarian, then you take those 2 million people and you bring them here to the U.S., which is the country you are in charge of, and you resettle them. I’m just saying, you can’t force these people down other countries’ throats,” Tarlov said.
Co-host Dana Perino weighed in, saying, “But other countries have said they will take them. The Albanians are saying, ‘We could help.'”
“They could take a few. But you’re talking about 2 million people,” Tarlov added.
Fellow Fox News personality, Jesse Watters, took an opportunity to become part of the fray and cracked a joke, saying, “Spread them out. Maybe some can go to Greenland.”
“If you want to know how crazy the idea is, though, you have to look no further than Susie Wiles’ face as he said it. There is a great shot of her, his chief of staff, the ice maiden, I think they call her, looking very expressive, like, ‘Oh, my god, what is he saying?’ Mike Walz kept it together, but he looked a little surprised, too. And we know where the idea came from. Last year Jared Kushner said, ‘I think you could get some really great waterfront property in Gaza. It could be really beautiful.’ And this was widely covered. So maybe he has been brewing this. Maybe there are some great contracts to come. But the point is, is that you can’t just — “ Tarlov bloviated.
This gal just doesn’t know when to quit, folks. She actually kept on yapping, saying that since Trump is the one who is involving himself in the Gaza conflict and proposing the plan to fix it, he has an obligation to put his “money where his mouth is.”
“We have funded Gaza more than any other country —” Watters pointed out.
“But what are you doing with the good people? Listen, I know that Gaza was overrun with terrorists. I have watched a significant portion of the October 7th footage. I have not watched the thing in its entirety. But you cannot say to all of the neighboring countries that they just need to make room for millions of people that they don’t want. Then you are the world’s policeman. Then you are interventionist and you’re going back on every promise that you made on the campaign trail. I didn’t say I wanted to — “ Tarlov spewed once again.
Tarlov then asked where the residents of Gaza would be shipped off to, saying the U.S. would not be able to make Jordan open up their country and accept refugees.
“This makes the Arab world have to step up. It is smart,” Perino explained to Tarlov. Unfortunately, she still used too many big words, and the point flew over Tarlov’s head like a 747 jumbo jet.
Watters popped in again and got away with a sly dig at Tarlov, saying, “And instead, Jessica, of saying, ‘No, we can’t,’ let’s try, ‘Yes, we can.’”
Mic. Drop.
