MUST-SEE: Greg Gutfeld Demolishes Jessica Tarlov’s Defense Of Violent Protestors

Greg Gutfeld and Jessica Tarlov clashed again on “The Five” Thursday night in a segment that quickly went off the rails as the panel debated protests, ICE enforcement, and the escalating confrontations with law enforcement in Minnesota, including an incident in which an illegal alien allegedly tried to kill an ICE agent with a shovel.

As the discussion turned to the unrest, Tarlov pinned the blame on ICE, arguing that the agency’s actions were fueling the chaos. Gutfeld wasn’t buying it and unloaded.

“You create the environment, and then you complain about the consequences,” he said. “When you kick over a beehive, don’t complain when the bees come after you. When you poke a bear, don’t say, ‘I can’t believe the bear’s chasing me.’”

Tarlov shot back by insisting protesters were merely exercising their rights, claiming, “You have a right to stand there and yell at an officer if you want.”

Gutfeld immediately pushed back.

“That’s not what we, that’s not what we were talking about,” he said.

“Yes. It is!” she whined.

From there, Tarlov’s argument unraveled. Gutfeld accused the left of deliberately encouraging disorder and then acting shocked when it turns violent. He said anti-ICE activists were “deliberately creating an environment so that there… is chaos. And when there is chaos, you go, ‘Oh my God, someone gets hurt.’”

As Tarlov talked over him with a series of objections, Gutfeld kept pressing, arguing that activist groups feed off the disorder now playing out in the streets.

When Tarlov made a final emotional appeal, suggesting ICE agents themselves were the real agitators, Gutfeld cut her off without hesitation.

“How naïve are you?”

The popular Fox show’s latest scuffle underscored a broader political divide. Democrats have repeatedly used inflammatory language to describe ICE, including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who has labeled agents “Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo,” rhetoric critics say has helped radicalize activists in the state.

Republicans argue that by equating federal agents with Nazis, Democrats are effectively encouraging hostility and violence, then feigning outrage when agents defend themselves. In the segment, Gutfeld made clear he sees that dynamic as deliberate, and Tarlov had no response that stuck.
