Fox Business host Charles Payne delivered an emotional rebuke of President Joe Biden's disdain for half the country in a heated exchange with liberal committee member Jessica Tarlov, leaving the latter nearly speechless.
The exchange took place during Fox News' coverage of the New Hampshire Republican primary. The discussion revolved around President Biden's apparent hatred of Donald Trump's supporters and the impact of these sentiments on the nation.
During the back-and-forth, Payne said Biden's anger and vitriol toward the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement is far worse than any personal conflicts President Trump may have.
“Listen, I think Biden’s anger and his vitriol and his hatred of MAGA is a lot worse than President Trump’s one-on-one battles with someone who disagrees with him. “This is something that is really hurting this country,” Payne said. “The President of the United States despises half the United States… He has expressed his hatred for half the country.”

Bane was just getting started, and Tarlov never knew what hit her
Payne went on to point out that Trump supporters simply want a safe home and community, and a better America, but are being insulted as racists in the process, not just by Biden, but by all the legacy media parroting him.
“The bottom line is He says He. She. He has harsh criticism for them. He continued: “And so is MSNBC, and so is CNN, and so is the New York Times.” “They have harsh criticism for half the nation. They don't look at them like their fellow Americans, and that's unfortunate. They try to paint them as racists.”
Tarlov was so disturbed by Payne's argument that she left “Mr. MAGA” Sebastian Gorka is in awe.
“Finally, someone at FOX told @JessicaTarlov to shut up,” he wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
This is certainly no easy feat, but it didn't last long.
Tarlov did what she's paid to do as the committee's token liberal — tried to defend the indefensible, arguing that when Biden disparages conservatives, he's really only talking about a small subset of Republicans, the “insurgents.”
Tarlov seems to forget that the aspiring dictator in the White House has imprisoned most peaceful protesters as of January 6, jailed pro-life grandmothers who protested abortion clinics, had the Justice Department target Catholic churches, and pursued concerned parents at school board meetings as terrorists.
Biden does not despise a small segment of conservatives. He despises, just as Payne says, half of America.

Other panelists were fed up with Tarlov's weak attempts to defend Biden
After Tarlov tried to point out that President Biden was only talking about “insurrectionists” — by the way, no Trump supporters have been charged with insurrection — other panelists began digging in, too.
“He says MAGA as if it were an expletive, rather than a slogan,” said host Martha MacCallum.
He asked: “Why doesn’t he call the border a ‘crisis’ while he denigrates and criticizes America?” Kellyanne Conway Tarlov later asked, adding that Biden's attacks on MAGA are his “version of a deplorable and irredeemable Hillary.”
Except that Biden's comments are repeated over and over again, then amplified by his friends in the media over and over again, and then acted upon by the FBI and DHS over and over again.
This is not the first time we have highlighted the verbal bashing of Charles Payne on these pages.
Here he takes down Geraldo Rivera, a former Fox News contributor, for helping to perpetuate a “fake” visit by President Biden to Ukraine.
Russia knew that Biden was Ukraine! The air raid alert appeared to be a symbolic acknowledgment that Biden was there with Zelensky. Never saw people scrambling for safety! But Geraldo Rivera did not like Charles Payne telling him the truth about the visit, what was fake, etc.! pic.twitter.com/AYceFpOF6G

Paine was on a tear in his exchange with Tarlov. He makes it look so easy, presenting daggers with charm, a sharp wit and ultra-fashionable suits.
