Oh, it got spicy on The Five this week, and not in the way the folks over at MSNBC like to pretend it did. Nope. This wasn’t a “heated debate” full of polite disagreements and careful nuance.
This was Greg Gutfeld ripping the curtain off the tired little theater show the left keeps trying to sell every time one of their ideological foot soldiers does something grotesque — like, say, murder a conservative public figure.
This time, the target was Charlie Kirk. And this time, the “both sides” playbook didn’t just fall flat. It imploded.
Jessica Tarlov strolled onto that Fox News set with a tote bag full of excuses. “We don’t know enough.” “He came from a conservative family.” “Political violence happens on both sides.” And bless her heart, she tried to spin that tired narrative in front of Gutfeld — the one person on cable news who does not suffer nonsense lightly.
And guess what? He torched her for it.
Let’s pause here for a second. This wasn’t just some political disagreement about infrastructure or taxes. We’re talking about an assassination — the first political assassination in America since 1968. That’s not “rhetoric.” That’s not “hyperbole.” That’s a man shot dead because of what he stood for.
And here comes Tarlov, armed with the same talking points you can find copy-pasted across progressive TikTok accounts and the blue-check brigade on Twitter: We just don’t know his motive! Maybe he just snapped! Who’s to say, really?
Except we do know.
The bullet casing said, “Hey fascist! Catch!”
His family said he was driven by hatred for Charlie’s beliefs.
The FBI said he wrote a note about wanting to “take out” Kirk.
But sure, Jessica. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. Let’s keep pretending this wasn’t political so the narrative can stay nice and tidy for your friends in media and academia. Let’s throw in a random Democrat’s death in Minnesota, completely unrelated, completely depoliticized, just so the left can keep their precious illusion of moral superiority intact.
It’s not working anymore.
Because here’s the thing, the left doesn’t want to admit: it is mostly happening on their side now. The fever-pitched rhetoric, the dehumanization, the insistence that conservative views are literal violence — all of that is culminating into something real. Something bloody. Something the mainstream media won’t even put on the front page.
Gutfeld laid it out clearly: we don’t need more information. The writing — in this case, literally — was on the casing.
And still, Jessica Tarlov chose to sit there and mouth the exact same lines that people are using to justify, soften, and reframe what was clearly a politically motivated act of terror. Not just soften — excuse. It’s not even subtle anymore.

HOLY CRAP! Greg Gutfeld just EVISCERATED Jessica Tarlov for making the “both sides” argument about Charlie Kirk’s kiIIingMeanwhile, conservatives are supposed to smile and nod through it? Pretend we didn’t hear the cheers on social media? Pretend the left hasn’t been pushing for the de-platforming, silencing, and outright destruction of people like Charlie for years?
There was no “both sides” when Democrats flooded the streets in 2020 and called it “mostly peaceful.” There was no “both sides” when SCOTUS justices had mobs outside their homes. There’s no “both sides” when a Bernie supporter tried to wipe out half the Republican congressional baseball team. And there’s certainly no “both sides” when someone walks into a crowd, targets a conservative, and fires because they’ve been told — over and over again — that conservatism equals evil.
So no, Jessica. There’s no gray area here. No nuance to massage. No time to pivot to an obscure murder in Minnesota and hope it buys you five more minutes of moral ambiguity.
This is about clarity. About recognizing that one side has spent years turning political disagreement into moral warfare — and it’s now producing real-world violence.
Greg Gutfeld said what most Americans are thinking but are too afraid to say out loud: “We don’t care about your both sides argument. That s*** is dead.”
And honestly, maybe it’s about time we all stop pretending that it isn’t.
