‘Brought Him Home Dead!’: Jessica Tarlov Snaps at Jeanine Pirro For Saying Trump Brought Otto Warmbier Home
Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov snapped back at her The Five co-host Jeanine Pirro on Friday after Pirro said former President Donald Trump brought Otto Warmbier home from imprisonment in North Korea.
Asked for her thoughts on President Joe Biden’s Thursday presidential address, Tarlov said, “Well, I would like to quote the illustrious Brit Hume,” before proceeding to quote Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume’s remark that “this will be remembered as one of the best, if not the best, speeches of his presidency.”
She continued:
Now how you felt about it definitely depends on where you stand right now in terms of Ukraine funding, and this is something that is splitting Republicans in Congress who think this can’t be a blank check forever, but there is something to be said for what President Biden was doing in defining his strategy writ large versus just talking about Israel on its own. He didn’t use the term “Axis of Evil,” but he essentially did define a new Axis of Evil, right? Russia, Iran, Hamas, and China. And we need to make sure that their targets — Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, something that we talk about all the time, and he’s got to be tougher on China — are not incurred upon, taken over, more massacres, etcetera.
In comparison, Tarlov went on to criticize Trump’s “love letters” to foreign adversaries and said, “Kim Jong Un, I believe, got the sweetest of love letters from Donald Trump, and Otto Warmbier, who died on Donald Trump’s watch, right? He came home and he was in a vegetative state, and his parents, seeking mercy for their son, took him off life support. So please don’t give me this that everything was all hunky-dory while Donald Trump—”
Pirro then interrupted, “Donald Trump brought him home. It was during Obama.”
“Brought him home dead!” Tarlov shot back, before continuing:
Okay, anyhoo, I think that it is really important that he — and I know it was a major kind of sticking point, and we’re going to talk about it in the next block as well — that President Biden not only called out anti-Semitism but talked about Islamophobia. And Greg says we need to live in the present, and I agree with you and said multiple times today you’ve got to start every conversation with, “This is what Hamas did to Israel,” but after 9/11, not only did we make tremendous military mistakes, we made tremendous mistakes at home. We put cops in mosques and surveilled these people. We did racial profiling up the wazoo and treated the moderate Muslim population in this country as if they were all about to be arrested for a crime that they did not commit, and I don’t want a repeat of that, and there is a six-year-old dead Palestinian-American boy who was murdered because of Islamophobia in this country.
The Fox News co-host concluded, “He’s the president for all Americans and that includes the Muslim population.”
