Jessica Tarlov Has Masterful Counter To Co-Host’s Defense Of RFK Jr.

Fox News host Jessica Tarlov lit into fellow “The Five” co-host Emily Compagno during a Tuesday discussion that briefly compared Democratic Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

During the conversation on Tuesday, Tarlov said it was a good idea for El-Sayed to target the so-called “Make America Healthy Again,” or “MAHA,” crowd because of his background as a medical doctor.

“He can point to the results under Bobby Kennedy’s HHS and say that ‘We are sicker as a result of this,’” Tarlov said.

Tarlov also pointed out that El-Sayed’s recently released health policy proposal includes many good things, including giving people the right to sue pesticide manufacturers, seeking accountability for polluters and pledging to get industry lobbyists out of regulatory agencies.

“What could beat that?” Tarlov asked.

“Yeah, he’s an M.D. He’s not a practicing physician,” Compagno said.

Tarlov’s response: “Well, Bobby Kennedy is a nothing.”

Compagno replied with a reminder that Kennedy is the secretary of Health and Human Services.

“He’s confirmed as that, but I’m saying on the scale of going to medical school and getting through that, he’s a zero,” Tarlov answered.

Co-host Jesse Watters chimed in, claiming that Kennedy was in better shape than El-Sayed.

“And he wears jeans to work out, like all real men,” Tarlov said.
