Fox News' Jesse Watters lashes out at Jessica Tarlov over new 'smoking guns' in Joe Biden corruption probe
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: 'The Five' hosts Jesse Watters and Jessica Tarlov got into another yelling match as evidence from the Joe-Hunter Biden scandal surfaced.
Speaker Mike Johnson recently hinted at a potential impeachment inquiry into the President that will drive the investigation further into the scandal involving his son Hunter Biden.
The two hosts fired off on each other over what might be a check indicating President Biden receiving money from one of the companies Hunter was involved with.
Jesse Watters slams Democrats for dismissing 'evidence' against Joe Biden
Addressing the check that revealed a payment of $200,000 to President Biden by his brother James Biden, Watters attacked the Democrats for defending him over it. And Watters did it while referring to the sole Democrat on the panel, co-host Tarlov.
“Jessica and her ilk for years have said, ‘Well, you don’t have money going directly into Joe Biden’s bank account.’ All right, so now we have a check for $200,000 from one company through the brother to Joe’s bank account,” Watters said.
He then added, "Ok, you still say that that’s not from overseas. That was a loan. Ok, ok, ok. What happens if the next check originates somewhere really bad, Jessica? And I mean really bad. And it goes through Hunter or James, and it goes directly into Joe Biden’s checking account?"
Watters continued to question, "Is that your smoking gun, Jessica? Because you said, that was a smoking gun, if money went from overseas directly into Joe Biden’s bank account. If a check comes out at some point from that avenue, is that a smoking gun?"
Jessica Tarlov comes to the defense of Joe Biden
When Tarlov tried to speak her bit in response to Watters' rant, he kicked off a yelling match with her, raising his voice and stopping her from presenting her argument.
"Ok, so two things-" Tarlov started. "Yes or no?" Watters went on to yell. "No," she then simply replied.
"It’s not? Woah, woah, woah. Jessica! For a year you said, 'The money never hit his bank account.' What if I have a check that hits his bank account that comes from overseas? Is that not a smoking gun?" Watters continued his yelling.
“Someone help me out,” Tarlov asked for help in the middle. “Ok, if, uh, uh, uh, ok," she mocked Watters while co-hosts Jeanine Pirro and Greg Gutfeld could be heard laughing in the background.
Tarlov then pointed out that Biden was not even President back when the repayment was made.
"Is he in elected office and did he do something about it? So, that check, that 2018 check, when he was not doing anything except hanging around, and there was an explanation for it. So if you get a check, then you can connect that to an action that he took,” Tarlov explained.
However, Watters refused to accept this as a valid reasoning.
“Oh, no, not to an action that he took!” he went off, “That was just an action that he took. Because before you said none of the money from overseas went into his checking account-"
“That’s not true!” Tarlov defended herself. Watters then questioned, “So now it’s an action?”
“You are yelling and there’s no reason for it,” Tarlov stated. “There’s a reason,” Watters continued, “I was promised a smoking gun, and if I deliver a smoking gun you have to admit that gun was smoking.”
Later, when she got a chance to speak, Jessica joked, "I appreciated that, Jesse. I always learn something from you."
