Liberal commentator Jessica Tarlov got more than she bargained for during an episode of ‘The Five’ on FOX News this week, when she tried to defend far left Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed from supposed claims of Islamophobia.
Co-hosts Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters completely demolished her arguments and left her scrambling to defend her position.
Tarlov has a unique ability to come off as a hectoring Karen. It’s like she is the living embodiment of the Democrat Party.
PJ Media has details:
It started when Tarlov was griping about Mike Rogers, El-Sayed’s Republican opponent, flip-flopping on tariffs. Gutfeld asked the obvious question.
“But so what? That still, that makes them worse than Abdul who doesn’t like Jews?” he said.
Tarlov’s answer? Don’t worry, she checked.
“That’s not… If you listen, listen, I have interviewed Abdul, I have talked to him about this, I’ve talked about the concern of Jewish Michiganders, we have talked about the situation in the Middle East, we have talked about the situation here and preserving Jewish safety, and the Israel question,” she said…
Tarlov wasn’t done. She accused Republicans of running on Islamophobia and insisted that it “will not sit well with Jews.” Gutfeld looked like he’d been hit with a frying pan… or maybe she had.
“Wait, what did you say? I don’t get that you said that Islamophobia won’t sit well with Jews,” he replied.
When Gutfeld demanded she define Islamophobia, Tarlov’s best example was Republicans calling El-Sayed “Muhammad.” Both hosts pointed out that it’s his actual name.
“It’s his middle name,” she said, apparently believing this was a winning rebuttal.
“Oh, it’s his middle name!” Watters said.

The Michigan Senate race is extremely important to the left because it’s a test case.
They think that if they can drag Abdul El-Sayed across the finish line in Michigan, they can do it anywhere else in the country.
