Fox Host Unleashes on GOP Hypocrisy: A Little Reminder of Speaker Johnson’s Tactics Leaves Co-hosts In Disbelief

In an unexpected exchange on "The Story with Martha MacCallum," Fox News "The Five" co-host Jessica Tarlov fiercely criticized her conservative counterparts for their outrage towards Texas Democrats who fled to obstruct a gerrymandering vote during a special legislative session. Tarlov highlighted the silence from her colleagues regarding Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson's similar actions in Washington last month.On August 5, Tarlov confronted conservative commentators condemning the Texas Democrats for abandoning their responsibilities. “I heard no outrage when Mike Johnson opted to end a session rather than deal with troubling Epstein files,” she noted, emphasizing equal scrutiny for such actions.Dana Perino, Tarlov’s co-host, appeared taken aback. Social media reactions underscored the hypocrisy, drawing parallels between the reactions to both situations.Tarlov's remarks coincided with mounting Democratic concern over Texas’s redistricting initiative, which threatens to enhance Republican representation dramatically.
