Fox News Jessica Tarlov gave her blunt take on Donald Trump s disastrous Q&A at the National Association of Black Journalists convention on Wednesday.

My reaction is that it was a complete, absolute dumpster fire for the former president, said Tarlov, a co-host of The Five.

The Republican nominees chaotic appearance at the NABJ convention included his racist claim that Vice President Kamala Harris wants to be known as Black now as he questioned her identity.

Is she Indian or is she Black? She was Indian all the way and then she made a turn and she became a Black person, said Trump of Harris during a Q&A where he insulted ABC News Rachel Scott as being very rude and nasty.

Tarlov said she wouldnt give Trump credit for the appearance due to his attitude and added that he gave all of his regular hits, including his ridiculous talk of doing the most as president for Black Americans since Abraham Lincoln.

Unemployment is lower for Black Americans under Joe Biden than Donald Trump . Everybody knows that, even Donald Trump knows that. People have told him. He just wont stop, said Tarlov, who noted that Trump was rude and offensive to the moderators of the Q&A.

She went on to hit back at Fox News contributor Joe Concha, who claimed that moderators went into debate mode with Trump when it came to asking him about Republicans calling Harris a DEI hire.

And then his response that she used to be Indian and is now somehow Black was offensive, no matter the color of your skin, Tarlov said before Fox News host Martha MacCallum interjected.

We all know, all right, look. She. I, I, you know, she, she has an Indian mother and a Jamaican father , MacCallum said.

Right, shes Black, Tarlov replied.

She has an Indian mother and a Black father, so those are two different backgrounds, MacCallum said.
