Fox News host Greg Gutfeld completely blew up on liberal co-host Jessica Tarlov over her defense of protesters confronting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minnesota on Thursday.
A furious Gutfeld accused Democrats of deliberately ignoring violence and crime committed by illegals immigrants.
The heated exchange on “The Five” centered on the selective outrage Democrats have expressed in Minnesota after ignoring crimes being committed by illegal immigrants for years.
“I’m back to correct the record that people need to hear! I don’t care about this performance any more, Jessica. It’s done. If you want to cry about murderers and rapists do it on your own time!”
“We had dozens of deaths where you didn’t say sh*t,” Gutfeld said. “Jocelyn Nungaray, Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, Molly Tibbetts.”
Gutfeld brought the receipts, and showed “three pages of women who have been murdered by illegal aliens in the last, like, seven or eight years.”

The two had previously clashed over the ICE enforcement tactics in Minnesota.
“You create the environment and then you complain about the consequences,” Gutfeld said previously. “When you kick over a beehive, don’t complain when the bees come after you.”
The confrontations have intensified following the fatal shooting of Renee Good, who struck an ICE officer with her vehicle while obstructing enforcement operations.
Tarlov has blamed ICE agents for the confrontations, and said they were fueling the chaos in Minneapolis. She insisted protesters were merely exercising their First Amendment rights.
“You have a right to stand there and yell at an officer if you want,” Tarlov said.
Gutfeld shot back that protesters don’t simply yell at officers but are actively trying to create chaos and dangerous situations that lead to violence.
“When you poke a bear, don’t say ‘I can’t believe the bear is chasing me,'” Gutfeld said. “You guys are deliberately creating an environment so that there is chaos, and when there is chaos, you go, ‘Oh, my God, someone gets hurt!’ What do you expect with chaos?”
“These organizations [disrupting ICE agents] desire chaos,” Gutfeld said. “How naive are you?”
ICE enforcement operations after a centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s administration’s agenda.
Critics say Democrats have used dangerous rhetoric to dehumanize federal immigration officers, calling them “Nazis” and a “modern-day Gestapo” to try and radicalize activists.
“Democrats have repeatedly used incendiary language to describe ICE, with leaders like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz even calling agents ‘Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo,’ a phrase that has clearly radicalized leftists in his state,” Gutfeld said. “Democrats are the ones equating ICE agents to Nazis, essentially egging on their supporters to use violence against them.”

In a separate segment, Gutfeld presented what he called a “thought scenario” for liberals to consider: How they would react if a family member planned to confront armed law enforcement officers?
“I want every liberal, because we have millions of liberals watching this show, to engage in a thought scenario,” Gutfeld said. “Okay, you ask your sister this question. So what are your plans today? Deborah. And she goes, Well, I plan on filming myself harassing and impeding armed law enforcement.”
Gutfeld argued that most people would be outraged if a family member announced their plans to harass and interfere with federal agents.
“If your sister is telling you that instead of caring for her children or her mental health that she prefers to stalk law enforcement. Would you say, ‘You go girl’? Of course not,” he continued. “You would say you need an intervention. I need to stop you, because I care about you, and that is the problem.”
“The left always says that politics is personal, but then they separate their political behavior from their personal reality,” Gutfeld said. “If you would tell your sister that this behavior is nuts, then you should not publicly express an entirely different opinion on this matter.”
“The argument over the shooting is irrelevant if you deny the premise for them being there. This is part of the strategic ignorance where the other side doesn’t understand things. Why is ICE here? Why is breaking the law wrong? Why do we need this kind of enforcement? What is wrong with an open border?”
