Fox News Host Hits Colleague With The 'Right Facts' On New Orleans Attack
HuffPost
Jessica Tarlov told co-host Jeanine Pirro that she was moving "the goalposts" with her immigration talk.
Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov called out Jeanine Pirro, co-host of “The Five,” on Thursday after Republicans tried to blame the deadly New Orleans vehicle ramming attack on undocumented immigrants.
Tarlov — after Pirro called Joe Biden an “embarrassment” over his response to the New Year’s Day attack — urged her colleague to “listen to all” of the president’s remarks including his call to “make sure we have the right facts” on the incident.
“And the right facts were that the guy in New Orleans was an American. He wasn’t an illegal crossing —,” said Tarlov of Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the attack suspect that authorities have identified as a U.S. citizen from Texas.
“Nobody’s saying he wasn’t,” Pirro said.
“That’s not true,” Tarlov replied.
