Tarlov Defends Platner, Says He's 'Obviously Not A Nazi,' But Won't Say If She'd Vote For Him
On Monday, Maine Democrat Senatorial candidate Graham Platner received the endorsement of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, which of course included a press conference for the announcement, where Platner claimed that he had previously used Planned Parenthood to be tested for STD's. That same evening, Fox News's The Five featured a segment on the endorsement, which led to a potpourri of issues being discussed, and liberal Jessica Tarlov refused to say that she would vote for Platner if she lived in Maine, which she had also done earlier this month.
Emily Compagno kicked off the segment, running down Platner's baggage, playing Platner's STD clip, and tossing to Greg Gutfeld, who as usual, was strong right out of the gate.
COMPAGNO: We thought we had seen it all from Maines nipple Nazi Graham Platner, from Reddit posts blaming rape victims, disturbing behavior in port-a-potties, credible allegations of abuse by an ex-girlfriend and that towel photo. Apparently all that wins you an endorsement from Planned Parenthood, who are throwing their support behind the scandal plagued oyster man. As it turns out, he's no stranger to their services. Watch.
PLATNER:I myself at a younger age received pre -- what's the word? I got STI checks. At the Portland Planned Parenthood. It's not an embarrassing thing, it's a smart thing to do, especially when you're younger.
GUTFELD: I'm trying to think of, what's a more unappealing combination than abortion and Platner? Okay, abortion, Platner and STDs. A Democrat trifecta. The only thing that's missing is him cradling a trans kid. Are we sure Planned Parenthood doesn't offer free Nazi tattoos as well? He's a gift to heinous men. Why is he talking about STDs? That's the question.
Gutfeld then turned his attention to Planned Parenthood
GUTFELD: The whole game of Planned Parenthood is to never talk about what it is, which, killing babies, 434,000 last year. A new record, 34% increase over ten years. And here I thought that Roe V. Wade was going to completely end this. But no, they're just killing more than ever. Business is good. And they don't want you to know that because 830 million dollars of your tax money goes to pay for something that you find immoral and evil. I find it immoral and evil and my tax money is going to that?
Gutfeld then went after Democrats, and offered some advice.
GUTFELD: This is a plea to Democrats. Why is Platner, a Nazi loving misogynist still afloat? Because his policies are hard left, and in your existential crisis filter, you believe if Platner loses, democracy dies. Cause that's their reason for everything, they use it no matter what. All I ask is what if for like ten minutes you just drop that delusion.... You will go, why am I making these dumb decisions? Why am I siding with a Nazi? Why do I actually believe men in dresses are women? How did I get to this point? It's this delusional filter that has made you go so far astray from your moral center. Just do it for ten minutes, ask yourself what would happen if I didn't believe this, and see what happens to your brain, good exercise.
After Jesse Watters proceeded to call Platner a "pig" and "sick," it was Jessica Tarlov's turn to defend Planned Parenthood and Platner, which led to a Five free-for-all.
TARLOV: The point is that you can go to Planned Parenthood and see a doctor. That's the point that Graham Platner is making. It's not normal, Jesse, for you to not understand why people get STI checks.
WATTERS: STI? It's an STD. Sexually transmitted disease.
TARLOV: Now we say STI.
WATTERS: It's like LGBT-plus? We're adding stuff to it?
Soon Gutfeld would put Tarlov on the spot.
GUTFELD: You'd vote for a Nazi?
TARLOV: He's obviously not a Nazi.
GUTFELD: You're making excuses for a guy with Nazi tattoos on and you're Jewish. I have to point it out, It blows my mind.
The heated discussion continued over remarks Watters had previously made on the show, conflating Jews and Israel, Platner and STD's, Susan Collins, and Planned Parenthood, before Gutfeld pressed Tarlov once again.
GUTFELD: You'd vote for Platner is what you're saying?
TARLOV: I would not say that.
GUTFELD: Then say I wouldn't vote for Platner. Say that.
TARLOV: I would struggle.
GUTFELD: A guy with a Nazi tattoo.
Tarlov's repeated refusal to say she would not vote for Platner, while saying he is, "obviously not a Nazi", tells you everything you need to know about her and the leftist media who only see evil in Donald Trump.
