Jessica Tarlov is no stranger to being the sole liberal voice on a Fox News panel, and she used that voice Tuesday to turn her colleagues' conservative outrage back on them.

Tarlov cried hypocrisy during a discussion with Martha MacCallum and Tomi Lahren about Texas Democrats shirking their duties by fleeing to so-called "blue states" to prevent a quorum for a redistricting vote that favored the GOP.

President Donald Trump claimed on CNBC Tuesday that Republicans were "entitled to five more" congressional seats from the state because he said he won Texas "decisively" in last year’s presidential election....

Fox News' resident Democratic commentator Jessica Tarlov hit her co-hosts on "The Five" with evidence that she said shows Vice President Kamala Harris' speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago was a resounding success and accomplished everything it needed to do to keep her campaign on track.

"So we heard from Michelle Obama. We heard from Barack Obama. We heard from Oprah Winfrey," said anchor Jesse Watters. "Was Kamala's speech better than any of those speeches?"

"Yes, it was," said Tarlov....

Fox News' Greg Gutfeld insisted on Wednesday's edition of "The Five" that the Democratic Party needs to do more to reject their "crazies" the way Republicans do — then laughingly dismissed Democratic counterpart Jessica Tarlov when she pointed out they have done nothing to reject former President Donald Trump, who easily won renomination for the third time in a row despite inciting a riot at the U.S. Capitol four years ago.

"You know, we reject our crazies," said Gutfeld. "It's time for you guys to reject them. Give me a crazy person. I'll reject 'em."

"Donald Trump," Tarlov shot back....

A panel on Fox News' "The Five" erupted into chaos on Wednesday when resident Democratic commentator Jessica Tarlov chided the rest of the group for echoing the Trump campaign's attacks on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's military service, following his selection as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate.

Specifically, Trump's running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance's claim that Walz, who served in the Army National Guard for decades, abandoned his unit by retiring just before he was deployed to Iraq — even though those orders came several months after Walz retired to run for Congress, and even though neither Walz nor Vance ever served in a combat role.

"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. "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."...

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) wants women to have tampons and pads if needed.

For generations, school restrooms have had ancient machines on the wall selling feminine hygiene products to kids who might need them if they start menstruating at school.

Walz, who has a daughter, signed a bill as governor to ensure that any child who needs such a product can have it for free. ...

Fox News' Jessica Tarlov on Tuesday set the record straight on Tim Walz's history as Minnesota's governor and as a congressman representing the state.

During the latest episode of "The Five," Tarlov took direct aim at co-host Jesse Watters, who The Washington Post's Jeremy Barr reported last month, said: "Kamala is even more radical and incompetent than old Joe Biden," calling Vice President Harris a "'California socialist," and claiming she's "even more unpopular than the most unpopular president in American history."

Watters on Tuesday called Walz a socialist, to which Tarlov shot back: "Governor Walz brings a lot of experience that she wanted on the ticket. Not only in his time in Congress, where he was, I think, the seventh most conservative Democrat. Someone who is a gun owner. Someone who does have those midwestern values. But his executive experience in Minnesota. Jesse just radiated some of them — the attacks on him as a socialist."...
