WATCH: ‘The Five’ Hosts SHRED Jessica Tarlov After She Covers For Tim Walz’s Stolen Valor

Liberal Fox News host Jessica Tarlov got smacked down by her colleagues on “The Five” after suggesting that Republicans are mischaracterizing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s resignation from the Army shortly before his battalion deployed for Iraq so he could run for Congress.

On Wednesday night Tarlov spoke in opposition to a press conference from Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) after he criticized Walz’s military record at a campaign event in Michigan. At the event, the Ohio Republican claimed Walz abandoned his unit. “What really bothers me about Tim Walz, as a Marine who served his country in uniform, when the United States Marine Corps, when the United States of America asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it. I did it when they asked me to do it and I did it honorably, and I’m very proud of that service,” he stated during an appearance in Shelby Township. “When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, you know what he did? He dropped out of the Army and allowed his unit to go without him, a fact that he’s been criticized for aggressively by a lot of the people that he served with.” Retired military service members who knew Walz at the time made similar claims in a letter that resurfaced earlier this week.

That didn’t sit well with Tarlov, who asserted that Walz served “honorably” and pivoted to attacking former President Donald Trump for claiming that bone spurs in his feet prevented him from entering the draft during the Vietnam War. “So obviously, this was going to come up because the Trump campaign manager was the one behind the John Kerry Swift Boat attack, which was obviously very persuasive to people,” said Tarlov, according to Raw Story. “He served for 24 years, honorably, then he stopped to run for Congress on a platform of ending the war, and I don’t think that anyone, especially with Donald Trump at the top of a ticket, he dodged the draft four or five times, bone spurs, Captain Bone Spurs.”

Co-host Greg Gutfeld shot back, “Bone spurs are a very serious issue, Jessica.” She continued her rant, getting out, “[Trump] said that people who had gotten captured, ‘suckers and losers,'” before others began to talk over her. “He denied he slept with Stormy Daniels but that obviously hasn’t worked out for him. I don’t think you should ever say anyone who served didn’t do a good job in this. If J.D. Vance wants to get into that tit-for-tat, he was in the public affairs department. It’s just a fact of all of this. I don’t think he should be going there with Tim Walz. I think that everyone who has served—”

Others retorted that President Trump never claimed to have sent the letter asking for his deferment from the draft, and Tarlov pivoted once more to attacking Sen. Vance for avoiding combat overseas. “He was a reporter,” said Tarlov. “He was in a war zone,” snapped Jesse Watters. “He was in Iraq. He was in Iraq, Jessica,” said Watters. “He was in the Marines. And this guy left his unit … Listen, it doesn’t matter what I think, Jessica, his unit thinks he’s a coward.” “It’s not true!” exclaimed Tarlov.
