‘Do You Think It’s OK to Lie!?’ Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov and Jesse Watters Brawl Over Trump FBI Nominee Kash Patel
Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov and Jesse Watters brawled over Donald Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel to lead the FBI on Monday, with the former asking the latter if he thought it was “OK to lie” at one point.
Watters kicked off the sparring session by asking Tarlov for her thoughts.
“The good news is he is not being accused of having sex with a minor. So the bar, we’re up here, so that’s good. He also, in good news, just put his enemies list out there. It’s in his book, Government Gangsters. His vision for reforming the FBI, I guess, is just being angry at people who worked for Barack Obama and Republicans who are mean to Trump,” she replied.
“Not a bad place to start,” chimed in Watters.
“Sure!” exclaimed Tarlov sarcastically.
“Bill Barr, who I know some people on the Republican side, or I guess the MAGA side, think of as squishy now said that he would be the deputy director of the FBI over his dead body. Just wanna make sure I got that correct. He is avid children’s book author. The Plot Against the King, Hillary’s the villain,” she continued. “He has a clothing line, he hawks anti-vax diet supplements, and he nearly botched a 2020 hostage rescue. A 27-year-old American who was being held in Nigeria, he fabricated the fact that the government over there knew about it, Mark Esper has spoken about this, but otherwise I think he’s totally qualified.”
“But, they got the hostages out, right?” interjected Watters.
“After-, do you think it’s OK to lie!?” shot back Tarlov.
“They got them out, right?” asked Watters again.
“Oh, I see how we’re gonna do this,” observed Tarlov.
“Yeah, so the hostages were rescued so it wasn’t really botched,” asserted Watters before handing the floor over to Jeanine Pirro.
The segment ended with Watters declaring “Well, you just heard the talking points against Kash. Apparently, he’s a children’s author. So if that’s the best they got, I think you guys are in trouble.”
“We got to go to break, Jessica. Sorry!” he concluded as Tarlov tried to get a last word in.
