On a recent episode of The Five on FOX News, the panel delved into the increasingly discussed issue of President Joe Biden’s mental acuity. Jessica Tarlov, representing the liberal perspective, attempted to deflect criticism of Biden by invoking a classic ‘but Trump’ argument.
Greg Gutfeld, however, was not amused.
After firmly rebutting her comparison, Gutfeld underscored a key point: Biden’s perceived decline has, rather ironically, been leveraged by his party as a political asset. This observation raises critical questions about the narrative surrounding Biden’s mental state.
Here’s a partial transcript from the exchange, as provided by Real Clear Politics:
JESSICA TARLOV: Sure, Donald Trump radiates energy, but when you sift through his comments, he claims things like, “Joe Biden’s brain is absolute mush. He has stage 9 cancer,” which is a fabrication. “Oh, by the way, I just aced a cognitive test,” he boasts, recalling that infamous question—man, woman, person, camera, TV.
And we’re also expected to believe he’s 6’3″ and 224 pounds, which would make him a prime candidate for the NFL.
Let’s not forget his original doctor who fabricated that letter about his health. Really?
GREG GUTFELD: “Come on,” is this truly the comparison you want to make? This is a convoluted mess. Do you genuinely believe the Democrats are beyond scrutiny in this matter?
They’re supposedly the best doctors on the planet, tasked with overseeing one of the most critical patients in the world—who is subjected to weekly evaluations. Yet, they’ve chosen to forgo this necessary scrutiny?
Do you believe that narrative? Or is there a possibility that Democrats might be spinning a tale? Tough call, isn’t it?
Listening to Joe Scarborough just now feels akin to watching a Dateline episode where the husband’s alibi crumbles, leaving him scrambling to salvage both his life and career.
There’s a significant gap in the narrative surrounding Joe’s decline. They portray themselves as a devoted staff safeguarding a leader who’s losing his grip, yet the policies emerging from this administration are anything but weak.
Biden may appear to be in a state of disarray, but the policies reflect a clear agenda driven by ideological fervor. While the decisions made may have adverse effects on the country, attributing this to Biden’s cognitive state overlooks the intentionality behind these actions. We need to identify the architect of these policies.

While Jessica Tarlov may come across as agreeable, her consistently flawed arguments leave much to be desired. In fact, Gutfeld might have gone a tad easy on her.
