‘I’m Not a Big Dum-Dum!!’ Fox’s Tarlov and Pirro Throw Down Over Trump RNC Speech

Fox News co-hosts Jessica Tarlov and Jeanine Pirro threw down over a very long Donald Trump speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this week, with Tarlov arguing that the “9,000 words worth of ad-libbing” Trump indulged in were the opposite intent of his calling for unity, whether it be national or within the Republican party.

On Friday’s edition of The Five on Fox News, Democrat strategist and co-host Tarlov began with common ground, saying she found Trump’s first-person account of what it was like when the bullets rang out on Saturday was “moving” and something “meaningful for the country to hear.”

But Tarlov diverged from her conservative co-hosts from that point on, saying the remainder of the speech was nothing like that.

“The speech was has to be 3000 words and he went 12,000 words. So that’s 9000, 9000 words worth of ad-libbing,” she said. “So if you think that all of those ad libs were unifying were about bringing people together, you are sorely mistaken.”

Tarlov called out CNN contributors Scott Jennings , a Republican, and Van Jones , a Democrat, over their analyses.

“I don’t understand why pundits like Van Jones, like Scott Jennings, for instance, are not sick of being embarrassed by saying that Donald Trump has changed,” she said. “There were no actual olive branches. When you look at the policies that he was talking about, he was talking to that room, and that room only. He was not talking to Nikki Haley voters. He was not talking to left leaning independents.”

Tarlov listed some of what Trump went into in his record-length remarks, including, “‘Crazy Nancy Pelosi,’ Name-checking Joe Biden. He had said, I am not going to talk about the president. I’m not going to use his name. Talking relentlessly about the migrant invasion and what the migrants are doing to the country.”

“More election denying, ‘they cheated,’ ‘We’ll never let that happen again.’ I’m a victim,” she continued, ticking off items. “Raising people like Viktor Orban, saying that Kim Jong UN misses him?”

At that point, the conversation quickly went off the rails as Tarlov’s co-hosts all chimed in with various objections about immigration and the border, or to say Trump is being an entertainer or other cross talk.

When Pirro said the phrase “migrant invasion” is “about the illegality that is being brought into this country,” Tarlov replied, “I’m not a big dum-dum, I know what it’s about!”

When Pirro said everyone was engaged throughout the speech, Tarlov pointed out she was there in person on the floor of the RNC.

“They fell asleep and people were leaving!” said Tarlov.
