Kayleigh McEnany on Thursday said Donald Trump was “genuinely concerned” about Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s husband when he joked about the 2022 hammer attack that fractured Paul Pelosi’s skull.
That got fierce pushback on Fox News from fellow “Five” host Jessica Tarlov, who brought up the incident. (Watch the video below.)
To mark the California Democrat’s announcement that she would not seek reelection in 2026, McEnany recounted the former House speaker’s insults of Trump, including “domestic enemy” (after the Capitol siege fomented by the president) and the “the worst thing” on Earth.
“She was not an instrument of peace,” the former Trump press secretary concluded. “She was an instrument of division. And now, she gets to exit stage left.”
“Can I just say something quickly?” Tarlov, who generally provides Democratic counterpoint, asked. Jesse Watters granted the go-ahead. Tarlov revisited Trump’s comments on the campaign trail, even quoting him.
