FOX News host Greg Gutfeld has lashed out at his co-host Jessica Tarlov during a heated debate about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
The comedian snapped, “Don’t play that bulls**t with me,” as Tarlov argued political violence happens on both the left and right.
The heated debate was sparked by Gutfeld, 61, claiming that violence like Kirk’s killing only comes from left-wing extremists, not right-wing extremists.
It comes after Kirk’s suspected killer, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was reportedly “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,” according to Utah Governor Spencer Cox.
The FBI and cops haven’t clearly identified Robinson’s political affiliations or a motive for the assassination at Utah Valley University in Orem on Wednesday.
Speculation over Robinson’s alleged political motivations has led to tense finger-pointing across the political spectrum.
“Why is only this happening on the left and not the right? That’s all we need to know,” Gutfeld, Fox’s in-house comedian, said while speaking on The Five’s opinion panel on Monday night.
Tarlov, 41, then argued that it did happen on the right in June when Minnesota Democrat lawmaker Melissa Hortman was shot and killed with her husband in a political assassination.
Gutfeld fired back that the situation was different because Kirk was a household name, while Hortman wasn’t widely known before her death.
“I never heard of her until after she died,” he said.

“So she doesn’t matter?” Tarlov interrupted, leading Gutfeld to erupt with anger.
Gutfeld blasted back, “Oh, don’t play that bulls**t with me!”

“What I’m saying is there was no demonization amplification about that woman before she died. It was a specific crime against her by somebody that knew her.”
He went on to say that the “both sides” argument for political violence existing on the left and right sides equally doesn’t make sense in this scenario.
“We don’t care about your both sides argument. That s**t is dead,” Gutfeld slammed.
“On your side, your beliefs do not match reality so you’re coming up with these rationalizations like ‘What about this, what about that?'”
