Tensions ran high on Fox News’ The Five after Greg Gutfeld clashed fiercely with co-host Jessica Tarlov during a segment on the recent assassination of conservative figure Charlie Kirk.
Gutfeld slammed Tarlov for what he saw as an attempt to equate the attack with broader political violence from “both sides.” He firmly rejected her comparisons to past incidents involving Democrats, calling them “nonsense” and “irrelevant distractions.”
According to Gutfeld, the shooter was driven by extreme left-wing ideologies and a growing wave of nihilism, not a random act of violence. Tarlov pushed back, emphasizing that she was not excusing the attack, but warning against turning it into a partisan blame game.
The on-air argument quickly went viral, with viewers sharply divided over who was in the right. Some praised Gutfeld’s passion, while others defended Tarlov’s calls for balanced discussion.
