Fox News liberal commentator Jessica Tarlov sparked controversy with her remarks about Karen Pence’s interaction—or lack thereof—with Melania Trump during former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral.
“The Five” co-host referred to the moment when Karen Pence appeared to avoid eye contact or acknowledgment of the Trumps as one of her “favorite moments” of the event. While Melania Trump kept her composure with a gracious smile, the apparent snub reignited discussions about the strained relationship between the Trumps and Pences.
“Two favorite moments, definitely [George] W. doing the little tummy pat on Obama, showing a real camaraderie between them. I thought that was very sweet. And the most interesting person to me was Karen Pence, who would not look up at Trump,” Tarlov said during the segment.
“She was head down, like, ‘If you think my husband should have been hanged for certifying the election results, I have no time for you,’” Tarlov said, claiming that President-elect Trump expressed support for ‘hanging’ his then-vice president.
