Tarlov Mocks 'Betas' At GOP Convention For Staring At 'Half-Naked Socialist'

Fox's Jessica Tarlov sums up the farce nicely.
By Heather — September 12, 2026

During a discussion on this Friday's The Five on Fox, where most of the hosts were doing some heavy revisionist history on what actually occurred there, Jessica Tarlov injected some reality into the conversation with this dig at how ridiculous they were for posting the "half-naked" picture of streamer Hasan Piker up on their jumbotron.

WATTERS: There was some concern, Jessica, even among Republicans, that they weren’t gonna be able to pull the convention off, but it does seem they did a pretty good job.

TARLOV: Yeah, well, they got all the best photos of Hasan Piker in a Speedo so —

WATTERS: I missed that.

TARLOV: You missed the banana hammock situation?

WATTERS: I missed that.

TARLOV: They used it both nights.

WATTERS: No, I didn’t catch it.

TARLOV: That’s how ripped he is, for a bunch of betas standing around looking at a half-naked socialist.

Watters lies as easily as he breathes. There's no way he didn't see that. Tarlov went onto rip JD Vance for the racist "dirty" immigrants remark, and Trump for his pathetic $5000 bribe attempt.

For anyone that missed it, here was Hasan Piker's reaction to their embarrassing nonsense:

Hasan Piker got an unexpected starring role at the Republican midterm convention ... with a photo of the left-wing streamer in his underwear blasted across the jumbotron.

The pic flashed on the big screen Wednesday night in Dallas as part of a video taking shots at Democrats and the left ... and, well, somebody really decided Hasan in his skivvies was the visual to go with.

The image -- pulled from Hasan's Instagram -- showed him posing in underwear, with the more NSFW area blurred out.

Hasan happened to catch the moment while streaming and absolutely lost it ... laughing in disbelief and joking that Republicans had put his "meat pic" up at "Trump-a-palooza" and blurred his penis.
