Jessica Tarlov reminded her Fox News co-hosts and viewers on Thursday that reporters keep asking Republicans about the 2020 election because their party's leader still insists on talking about it.
Former President Donald Trump routinely and falsely insists at rallies and in interviews that the contest was rigged against him. An hour before The Five aired on Thursday, Trump did so again while speaking to supporters in Saginaw, Michigan.
"The narrative is that Democrats are obsessed with January 6th," Tarlov said. "But the reality is that Donald Trump is the one who is obsessed with 2020. Even today, he was onstage in Michigan saying, 'I won, and I won by an even bigger margin than 2016.' Maybe he should be quiet about it, but he can't stop himself, which puts it into the national discourse."
Tarlov then delved into a recent motion by Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is prosecuting Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election. She pointed to a previously-reported story about Trump being told on Jan. 6, 2021 that Vice President Mike Pence was safe after a mob stormed the Capitol where he presided over election certification.
"So what?" Trump reportedly replied.
"I knew all of that," said Tarlov's co-host Dana Perino, as if to downplay the anecdote.
"You knew he said, 'So what?'" Tarlov replied. "And you knew-"
"It's within the spirit of everything that has been written and said about this before," Perino replied.
"Did you know about [Republican National Committee Chair] Ronna McDaniel going to an election official in Michigan, who said, 'That's F***ing nuts,'?" Tarlov asked.
"It is keeping with everything else that I know about it and everything else that she said," Perino answered.

Has a day passed in the past four years when Trump didnt say the election was stolen from him? Now it is the Democrats keeping the topic alive? Its hilarious.
HA, Trump is more than obsessed.
Democrats are not the ones making, selling, and proudly displaying ridiculous flags and signs reading “Trump Won.” It’s a tragedy that more people aren’t embarrassed to be this stupid.
Trump says he won the election at every rally. Its like the audience wont receive the complete Trump experience until he says it.
Jessica really spoke her mind. It is good to see free speech alive and well on Fox news.
