Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov had a sharp response to the latest controversy surrounding Donald Trump, making it clear she’s fed up with the long-running GOP defense of the former president. During a recent discussion on The Five, Tarlov reacted to reports that Trump allegedly shared classified U.S. military plans for a hypothetical war in the Atlantic, a revelation that has sparked widespread criticism.
Tarlov, the liberal voice on the panel, pointed out the hypocrisy of Trump’s supporters, many of whom spent years attacking Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server. “I never want to hear ‘But her emails’ ever again,” she declared. “We’re talking about an actual military strategy being shared improperly by a former president, and yet the same people who screamed about national security under Obama and Clinton are suddenly silent.”
The discussion was sparked by new reports that Trump, while out of office, showed classified documents detailing a potential Atlantic conflict to individuals without security clearance. The allegations have intensified concerns about Trump’s handling of sensitive information, especially as he faces multiple legal battles related to his presidency.
Tarlov’s comments reflect a growing frustration among critics who see a double standard in how security breaches are treated depending on the political party involved. While Clinton’s email controversy dominated headlines for years, Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified information has often been downplayed by his allies.
As the debate over Trump’s actions continues, Tarlov’s remarks serve as a reminder of the political contradictions at play—and why many believe it’s time to retire the GOP’s favorite deflection tactic once and for all.
