This week on The Five, Greg Gutfeld slammed liberal co-host Jessica Tarlov for pushing the left wing talking point that Alex Pretti was ‘murdered’ by ICE agents while leaving out the fact that Pretti was agitating for trouble, kicking an ICE vehicle and the fact that he was armed with a gun.
It has been a while since we have seen a Gutfeld/Tarlov smackdown and this was a good one.
Tarlov’s description of what happened to Pretti was completely dishonest.
Townhall has details:
“Alex Pretti’s family were interviewed by George Stephanopoulos, and they’re talking about their son, sibling being murdered by ICE and that there has been no accountability for that,” Tarlov said. “And that is a tragedy and something that also changed course in the way that ICE was allowed to operate.”
“Until we saw the tape,” Gutfeld interrupted her. “Then we realized that he was agitating, kicking.”
“Oh my God,” Tarlov said.
“Didn’t he kick the … a guy comes and attacks your car and he’s holding a gun. What is a cop supposed to do? I’m just giving you the facts. You did not mention the facts of the story. I had to put in there. I am your AI. Your Grok,” Gutfeld said.
Then Tarlov turned to George Floyd.
“And I heard from you last week that George Floyd would be bopping around no problem, that he overdosed instead of the fact that Derek Chauvin had his knee on his neck,” Tarlov continued.
“He overdosed. He also overdosed a few weeks before. He was in intensive care,” Gutfeld replied. “Yeah, call me Grok 2.2.”
“He was a saint,” Kennedy jokingly said.

The left does not even really care about Alex Pretti, he is just a political pawn for them. Something that they can use to justify their hatred of ICE and what they are doing.
Greg was right to call Jessica out on this.
