Since the start of President Joe Biden’s term, it was obvious that the southern border of the U.S. was open. Widely available video showed people from various nations spilling into America with little or no resistance. Democrat Jessica Tarlov appeared on Fox News' The Five throughout Biden’s presidency. So she was exposed to stories of the invasion and Biden’s unwillingness to do anything about it while he lied that the border was secure. Thankfully, President Donald Trump truly secured the border after being elected to his second term.
Now that she has a new book out, she’s rewriting history and saying she didn’t think the border crisis was real until Fox News sent up a drone and she saw for herself that Biden was misleading the American people. (READ)
Jessica Tarlov says she was "gobsmacked" by Fox drone video showing people streaming across the border while the Biden administration insisted the border was "effectively closed."
"They got it together in the last year, I think, because elections, frankly, were coming and they thought, we need to do something about this."
So she says she was shocked that the Biden admin rhetoric didn't match the reality on the ground.
Got it.
And now says that they only tried to get the numbers down to win an election.
Amazing what can be admitted years later as Democrats attempt to now sell the idea they are strong on the border.
Jessica Tarlov shared her ‘revelation’ with Charlamagne tha God on The Breakfast Club podcast. (WATCH)

What a weird way to say “I am a gullible idiot who thinks I deserve a job informing people”.

For a person who claims to be a journalist, she somehow missed a huge story for at least four months.
Fox News sent its first drone up in May of 2021. Posters say she was working with one of the few journalists who actively covered the border.
The only mainstream guy reporting on the border was @BillMelugin_ who also works at Fox. She had to have known about the border. But it seems like a lot didn’t since the rest of the media ignored it 100%

Um she worked with @BillMelugin_ pretty sure she knew he wasn’t faking all that at the border!

But Tarlov sure couldn’t call out Biden Admin!
This one 🙄 She couldn’t have a solid opinion if it jumped in her mouth. She was on a FOX NEWS show every weekday during Biden’s term where they were discussing the border, showing videos and Jessica was in total spin mode of what was happening.

Even if she somehow missed Bill Melugin’s border reports on Fox News, there’s no way she missed discussion of the open border on The Five.
Commenters say Tarlov will proclaim anything to promote her latest tome called I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends.
Jessica Tarlov is shameless.

There's a book to sell.

She’s trying desperately to sell her book. Wondering if she has an audio version, imagine sandpaper voice version . Ugh

I don’t know what worse? Her voice OR being WATERBOARDED? I’ll take the latter. 🤪🤪🥴🥴

The U.S. military might want to check it out. A Tarlov-based sonic weapon would be invaluable,
