Tomi Lahren did not hold back on Fox News this week after far-left commentator Jessica Tarlov delivered one of the most shameless defenses of Democrat hypocrisy ever seen on cable television.
During a fiery panel segment on The Story with Martha MacCallum, things got heated when the topic turned to Texas Democrats fleeing the state to block a Republican-led effort to redraw congressional district lines.
Lahren torched Tarlov and the Democrat Party for their open embrace of hypocrisy and shameless political theatrics.
Jessica Tarlov, co-host of The Five and perpetual apologist for leftist lunacy, predictably came to the defense of the runaway Democrats, whining about “fighting fire with fire” and blaming Mitch McConnell for Democrats’ inability to win fights through, you know, actual governance.
She even boldly declared that Democrats are right to take advantage of redistricting when it suits their political agenda.
Jessica Tarlov:
Yeah, I certainly can see that argument. There are other states that you could show, frankly, that are controlled by Democrats and Republicans that have similar comically drawn lines. But Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker are absolutely correct — Democrats are sick and tired of showing up to fights with the wrong weaponry.We’ve been pushed around by Mitch McConnell and the Republicans for far too long. Of course, we’re going to take the opportunity when we see it to redistrict in a way that is favorable to us. We would be stupid not to. But it doesn’t change the facts on the ground.
There was a bill in 2021 that all the Democrats supported that would have had a national ban on redistricting in this way — and all the Republicans opposed it.
I also heard no complaints from any Republican when Mike Johnson, just a couple of weeks ago, decided to abdicate his job — to say, Actually, Congress isn’t in session anymore because I don’t want to have to vote on turning over the Epstein files, the bill put forward by Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. He said, Let’s go home, rather than talk about the fact that Donald Trump may or may not have been in there.
All right — be equal opportunity in your complaints about fleeing your job. At least they’re doing this for a good reason.
BREAKING: In yet ANOTHER moment of ignorance from @JessicaTarlov, she admits that gerrymandering is ONLY okay when it’s the Democrats do it.

In a scathing response, Lahren exposed the Democrat Party for what it’s become, a social media sideshow with no real principles, no respect for the Constitution, and certainly no shame.
Lahren blasted Democrats for crying foul when Republicans finally started playing by their rules, pointing out how Democrats padded census numbers with mass illegal immigration to boost representation in deep-blue states, but now want to feign outrage when Texas Republicans seek to redraw their lines fairly and lawfully.
Tomi Lahren:
First of all, the Democrat Party has been reduced to essentially a social media stunt at this point. That’s the only way they can get any attention. It’s not through legislation. It’s not through ideas or policy.It’s through stunts — whether it’s getting arrested at a press conference or outside of an ICE facility, or skipping work to go to Illinois.
Also, the hypocrisy here — for Democrats now to clutch their pearls when Republicans play the same way they’ve been playing — is really rich. Please, spare me.
Also, incredibly hypocritical. Democrats had no problem for a four-year span of time importing millions and millions of people into blue sanctuary states and cities to pad their numbers — to pad the census.
But now they want to cry wolf, and they want to cry crocodile tears because Republicans want to draw new maps in Texas? Democrats would do it every single time. They don’t like it that Republicans are playing the same game.
We learned from you. We’re going to be cutthroat like Democrats, and we’re going to win where we can.
HOLY CRAP! @TomiLahren just ROASTED Jessica Tarlov after this display of sheer ignorance.
“The Democrat Party has been reduced to essentially a social media stunt.”
