Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov Torches Trump’s ‘Complete, Absolute Dumpster Fire’ Performance at NABJ Event

MACCALLUM: “Jessica, your reaction to what we saw?”

TARLOV: “My reaction is that it was a complete, absolute dumpster fire for the former president. I don’t feel the need to give him any credit for showing up there because he came with a terrible attitude. He hit all of his regular hits, lying about his record for black Americans, the comparison saying he’s done the most for the black community since Abraham Lincoln is obviously ridiculous. Unemployment is lower for black Americans under Joe Biden than Donald Trump. Everybody knows that. Even Donald Trump knows that. People have told him, he just won’t stop. I thought that he was rude and offensive to the questioners. I don’t think, in response to what Joe was saying, that asking him, for instance, about calling Kamala Harris a DEI hire is going into debate mode. This is who his opponent is. And then his response that she used to be Indian and is now somehow black was offensive, no matter the color of your skin.”

MACCALLUM: “We all know — alright, look: She has an Indian mother and a Jamaican father.”

TARLOV: “Right, she is black.”

MACCALLUM: “I don’t know why we have to — she has an Indian mother and a black father, so those are two different backgrounds.”
