Jessica Tarlov, the outspoken liberal voice on Fox News\u2019 The Five, is facing major backlash after a fiery on-air exchange with military veteran and co-host Joey Jones and it\u2019s what she said in the heat of the moment that has viewers stunned.<\/p>\n
During a panel discussion on gun control following this week\u2019s tragic Minnesota church sh**ting, the conversation took a deeply personal turn and ended with Tarlov making a remark many fans are calling \u201cdisgusting\u201d and \u201cbeyond the pale.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow you\u2019ve played the leg card\u201d<\/p>\n
As Joey Jones, a retired Marine Corps bomb technician who lost both legs in Afghanistan, made a passionate case against sweeping gun bans, Tarlov interrupted with a pointed question: \u201cIf your kid was one of that four percent, I think you\u2019d be singing a different tune.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jones began to respond calmly, \u201cYeah, but my kid isn\u2019t\u2014\u201d, when Tarlov cut him off with a sarcastic, \u201cOh, so lucky you!\u201d<\/p>\n
What came next stunned even longtime viewers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll go to bed tonight and thank God on my knees that don\u2019t exist anymore that my child is still alive,\u201d Jones said, turning directly to the camera.<\/p>\n
Tarlov\u2019s response? \u201cWell, now you\u2019ve played the leg card, and I can say no more.\u201d<\/p>\n
The moment landed like a grenade across social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cReprehensible\u201d and \u201cegregious\u201d: Viewers call for consequences<\/p>\n
Viewers immediately lit up X and Facebook with furious reactions.<\/p>\n
One user wrote: \u201cShe\u2019s reprehensible. Fox will never get rid of her.\u201d And many others called for her to be fired immediately, saying an apology wouldn\u2019t be enough.<\/p>\n
One X user wrote, \u201cMy hats off to you Joey Jones for that magnificent takedown\u2026 And her telling you you\u2019re \u2018playing the leg card\u2019 should get her booted permanently from The Five.\u201d<\/p>\n
Through it all, Joey Jones kept his grace<\/p>\n
Amid the backlash, fans have rallied around Joey Jones for handling the situation with dignity and clarity, despite the deeply personal nature of the jab.<\/p>\n
Jones, who often speaks about the strength he\u2019s found after his injury, has become one of Fox News\u2019 most respected voices on both military affairs and policy. And moments like this, where he responds with poise, not anger, only reinforce that reputation.<\/p>\n
One thing is certain: Joey Jones didn\u2019t need to \u201cplay the leg card.\u201d His response alone showed why so many viewers see him as one of the most respected voices at Fox News.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
