Jessica Tarlov once again injected a bit of reality into a discussion on Fox’s The Five, this time on what most of the public thinks about Trump and Stephen Miller’s cruel deportation policies.
Tarlov started things off defending Gavin Newsom, who whacked Trump for fanning the flames in Los Angeles and his abuse of power calling up the National Guard, before moving onto some recent polling from Quinnipiac showing Trump underwater on both immigration and deportations.
The one thing I’d take issue with is when she was describing Trump supposedly showing the same footage over and over again of a burning car. What she was actually talking about is her own network, not Trump. I’m assuming that’s off limits if she wants to keep her job.
SMITH: Jessica, Gavin Newsom there in that interview said the downward spiral started in, in, in LA when the military arrived.
Is that when it happened, or was it when protesters were, were hurling rocks at cops and border patrol?
TARLOV: That was obviously bad, and Gavin Newsom has been clear every single time that he has spoken and every single time that Mayor Bass has spoken, they have said that violence will not be tolerated and protesters who are being violent will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
They learned the lessons from 2020 and that summer, and they’re being very clear about it.
