‘You are no different than Kristi Noem’: McEnany blasts Jessica Tarlov for hypocrisy
January 27, 2026 | Mariane Angela
Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany criticized Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov on Monday, accusing her of reaching conclusions about a law-enforcement incident before investigators established the facts.
A Border Patrol agent fatally shot 37-year-old Alex Pretti during what the Department of Homeland Security described as a “targeted” enforcement operation at about 9:05 a.m. Saturday, an incident that later started riots and property destruction. During a discussion on “The Five,” McEnany repeatedly pressed Tarlov on whether she was calling for an investigation or had already decided who was at fault.
“Jessica, did you call for an investigation after Renee Good? You did. Are you calling for an investigation now? Are you just stating a conclusion? Because it seems like you’ve arrived at a conclusion before an investigation,” McEnany said.
Tarlov pushed back, saying the discussion itself was not divisive and rejecting the idea that criticizing rhetoric amounted to prejudging the case. McEnany disagreed and warned that language matters, especially when it implies criminal guilt.
