Jessica Tarlov Got Into a Shouting Match With Gutfeld on Transgender Politics — Then Vanished From ‘The Five’

The Five’s resident Democrat strategist has been conspicuously absent from her usual seat this week — conveniently timed to a heated on-air exchange with Greg Gutfeld that had both of them talking over each other at full volume.

The subject was whether transgender issues are a significant political factor heading into November. Tarlov said no. Gutfeld said she can’t possibly believe that. The exchange devolved into the kind of shouting match that makes for great television but probably requires a brief vacation to recover from.

Tarlov has since been spotted in Hawaii at a friend’s wedding on Lanai, sharing Instagram content of island life while the rest of the political world processes Fauci contempt votes, Economic D-Day against Iran, and Swalwell’s phones getting seized at SFO.

She’s back now — an update to the original PJ Media piece confirms she returned Thursday. Which means the next Gutfeld-Tarlov confrontation is approximately one news cycle away.
