Jessica Tarlov Breaks Down in Tears and Walks Off Fox News After Greg Gutfeld Calls Kamala Harris “Incompetent and Stupid”
“Kamala isn’t a presidential candidate—she’s just a political smudge, a temporary sugar high.” – Greg Gutfeld declared, leaving the studio in stunned silence.

What began as a routine broadcast on Fox News quickly turned into a political earthquake when Greg Gutfeld launched a scathing tirade against Vice President Kamala Harris—leaving Jessica Tarlov, one of the network’s few centrist voices, in tears as she walked off set.

It all started like any other panel discussion—debating whether Kamala Harris could step up as the Democratic nominee with Joe Biden appearing increasingly unfit. But once Gutfeld took the floor, the mood shifted drastically.

“She makes people nervous because she’s always nervous herself,” Gutfeld said.
“Kamala has no stance, no stature, and no leadership skills. I don’t know who she is—and it seems like she doesn’t either.”

The comment sent a chill through the studio. Jessica Tarlov, who usually maintains a calm, neutral stance, lost control for the first time. Cameras caught her struggling to hold back tears as Gutfeld doubled down, calling Kamala “incompetent and stupid.”

Tarlov tried to interject, her voice shaking:
“I’m the moderator here, so I… I’m not supposed to show my opinion…”

But it was too late. Her emotions had already broken through. She quietly stood up and walked off camera, leaving behind an awkward silence—and the faint, smug smiles of her conservative co-hosts.

The incident exploded on social media. Twitter users were quick to point out that Fox News has become more of a political cage match than a news platform—where dissenting voices are drowned out by an avalanche of far-right rhetoric.

Gutfeld later sneered:
“If she cried over the truth, maybe those tears are a good thing.”

The show then spiraled into a prolonged mockery of Kamala Harris, accusing her of “racial manipulation,” pandering to minority voters, and even suggesting she should choose an “illegal immigrant” as her VP running mate to “showcase her identity.”

Public reaction mirrored the country’s deepening divide. Some hailed Gutfeld’s remarks as “brutal honesty,” while others condemned them as “a disgusting abuse of media power to humiliate a powerful woman.”

Tarlov—long seen as the “voice of reason” in a shouting match of toxic banter—has now become a symbol of the moderate camp’s powerlessness on a network rapidly sliding toward extremism.

The Bigger Question: If Kamala Is So ‘Stupid,’ Why Is Fox News So Afraid of Her?
The relentless personal attacks from right-wing pundits betray an underlying fear: Kamala Harris is the most likely person to replace Biden—and could become the first female President of the United States. That’s a reality many on Fox News clearly don’t want to see.

And Jessica Tarlov, through those unscripted tears on live television, may have said something more powerful than any argument ever could: America is breaking—even inside the places meant for honest debate.
