A Fox News segment heated up on Monday after Greg Gutfeld accused his co-host Jessica Tarlov of getting too emotional as she slammed Elon Musk for promoting disinformation on Twitter in the wake of the violent attack on Paul Pelosi .

Look at you. You are getting too emotional about this, Gutfeld told Tarlov.

Just because Im at a higher pitch than you doesnt mean Im more emotional than you. Its just estrogen, Tarlov shot back.

After some more back-and-forth, co-host Jesse Watters chimed in, laughing and telling Gutfeld: You just told a woman shes being too emotional.

HR watches this, by the way, Tarlov interjected.

Is that a threat? Good for you, Gutfeld said, also laughing.

The exchange took place after Gutfeld defended Musk, claiming it was just a joke when the billionaire Twitter owner spread a baseless conspiracy theory about the attack on Pelosi, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi s husband.

Gutfeld argued that Hillary Clinton had come out with her own conspiracy by slamming the GOP for spreading hate and lies that emboldened the man who attacked Paul Pelosi inside the couples San Francisco home.

Tarlov told Gutfeld it was not a joke and noted that, according to federal charging documents , the attacker told police he planned to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage and said he viewed her as the leader of the pack of lies told by the Democratic Party .

That led Gutfeld to call her too emotional.

Gutfeld routinely gets emotional on Fox News , including on the same day over the same story. As Mediaite noted , Gutfeld was apoplectic later on Monday as he reviewed the way the media was covering the Pelosi story.
