Greg Gutfeld Blows Up at Jessica Tarlov Over Her ‘Both Sides’ Charlie Kirk Shooter Assessment: ‘That S—t Is Dead!’

“The Five” gets testy when Gutfeld says such violence is only enacted by liberals before Tarlov cites the political killing of Melissa Hortman.

Greg Gutfeld went off on his “The Five” co-host Jessica Tarlov over her assessment that political violence is enacted by both sides of the aisle in the week after Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

During Monday’s episode of “The Five,” Gutfeld interrupted Tarlov while they were talking about Kirk’s alleged shooter Tyler Robinson’s education and hobbies to ask why this kind of violence is only happening on the left and not the right.

“We don’t need more information,” the Fox News star said. “What is interesting here is why is only this happening on the left and not the right? That’s all we need to know.”

“What about Melissa Hortman?” Tarlov responded, citing the political killing of the Minnesota state representative in June.

“Did you know her name before it happened?” Gutfeld asked, now angered. “None of us did. None of us were spending every single day talking about Melissa Hortman. I never heard of her until after she died.”

“So she doesn’t matter?” Tarlov came back.

“Don’t play that bulls–t with me,” Gutfeld argued. “What I’m saying is there was no demonization amplification about that woman before she died. It was a specific crime against her by somebody that knew her. Then you’ll bring up Josh Shapiro, but you will not bring up that that was a pro-Palestine person.”

He finished: “The fact of the matter is the both sides argument not only doesn’t fly, we don’t care. We don’t care about your both sides argument. That s–t is dead.”

Gutfeld has been outspoken since Kirk’s assassination during an event at Utah Valley University last week. During his monologue starting last Friday’s episode of “Gutfeld!,” the host spoke with a grave face about processing the loss and how the killing would “backfire.”

“So why was Charlie assassinated?” Gutfeld posed. “It wasn’t about his ideas, it is that he was so good at them. He was the best. There was no one like him. This will backfire. Look at the history of those murdered because they were good. MLK Jr.’s dream did not die with him. Or JFK’s. Or Lincoln’s. As much as I hate the song ‘Imagine,’ it still gets played thousands of times a day around the globe. So their legacy grows, and Charlie’s will as well, beyond his wildest dreams … He already knew his impact, which will only grow with his passing … A man whose entire career was built on polite conversation. But that grief now hardens into resolve. If you want to kill an idea, the worst thing you can do is kill the man behind it. Because that gives the idea not just likes, but also wings.”
