A Fox News show devolved into argument after co-host of The Five Juan Williams accused others on the show of using White House talking points.
The comment came after it was revealed that the White House accidentally emailed talking points about Ukraine to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats.
“I think, just listening here, I think boy those talking points, they’ve made the rounds,” Williams told the panel before co-host Greg Gutfeld angrily interjected.
“What does that mean? Are you saying that I got talking points, Juan?” Gutfeld questioned Williams. “You’ve got to answer to the accusation.”
“Asking a foreign government to investigate a political rival is illegal. It’s illegal. It’s a violation of the constitutional oath,” Williams said, prompting Gutfeld to interject, “Unbelievable.”
“Did you get that from Media Matters, Juan?” Gutfeld said, referencing the liberal nonprofit.
On Tuesday House Democrats launched a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump over whistleblower allegations that Trump pushed Ukraine multiple times to investigate ties that Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, had to a Ukrainian energy company.
Some on social media were quick to poke fun at the heated exchange.

Juan Williams gets fed up with the phony reputable persona of Fox News, and tells the truth ON AIR that FOX and its pundits are basically a propaganda machine that gets talking points for the Trump administration. And the other pundits immediately attack him. pic.twitter.com/tvQUNecP28
