<p>Fitness entrepreneur <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fitness-guru-jillian-michaels-gets-blasted-for-saying-obesity-should-not-be-glamorized" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jillian Michaels</a> bluntly spoke her mind this week about transgender athletes competing against girls and women in female sports during an interview with podcast host Tomi Lahren.</p>
<p>Michaels emphasized that sports are &#8220;biological&#8221; and men can simply not compete against females due to those biological differences. Safety and fairness, Michaels said, are key factors.</p>
<p>“Sports is biological. It just is,” she told Lahren. “And I think that you’re starting to actually see women get hurt.”</p>
<p>“<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/thats-fed-joe-rogan-talks-trans-swimmer-destroying-female-competitors-fallon-fox-comments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fallon Fox</a>, for example, is an MMA fighter who is a transgender female. Beating the s*** &#8230; out of biological women,&#8221; Michaels said. &#8220;Like, this is beyond the fact of fairness. What we have trouble with as a society is &#8216;fairness,&#8217; right? Everybody wants to be &#8216;fair.&#8217; It’s not fair.&#8221;</p>
<p>“Here’s the problem,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I understand it’s not fair to trans athletes, because where are they going to compete? It’s also not fair to biological female athletes. You have an issue, right? You’re not going to be able to be fair to everyone.&#8221;</p>
<p>As noted by Michaels, Fox, a male who identifies as transgender, made headlines when he <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/transgender-female-boxer-gives-female-opponent-concussion-breaks-her-eye-so" target="_blank" rel="noopener">competed</a> in MMA fights against women and physically hurt them. In one such fight, Fox dominated female fighter Tamikka Brents, winning by knockout in the first round. Fox broke Brents&#8217; eye socket and gave her a concussion.</p>

<p>“Like Lia Thomas is 6-foot-1,&#8221; Michaels said, referring to the transgender NCAA swimmer who is male and formerly competed against men before switching to female athletics. &#8220;The percentage of biological females who are 6-foot-1 is under 1%. Lia Thomas was number 400 when she swam as a male. And number one when she swam as a female.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thomas made news last year when he dominated the women&#8217;s NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming Championships. NCAA swimmer-turned-advocate Riley Gaines competed in the women’s 200 freestyle at the tournament and placed fifth, tying with Thomas. Only Thomas received the fifth place trophy for the photo-op after the event, while Gaines was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-left-there-with-no-trophy-ncaa-female-swimmer-who-tied-for-fifth-with-trans-athlete-says-officials-put-lia-thomas-ahead-of-her" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> by the NCAA that her trophy would come in the mail.</p>
<p>“We’re going to systematically destroy women’s sports,&#8221; Michaels added. &#8220;I’m sorry, listen, if you want to be trans, I support you. I want you to have all the same rights that I do. But at the end of the day, someone’s going to get<i> &#8216;</i>effed here. And if you’re looking at, okay, you’ve got X amount of trans athletes and X amount of women, you’re not going to win this one. Right. No one’s coming out unscathed.”</p>

<p>Despite being an outspoken and enthusiastic supporter of President Trump and his legal challenges against the 2020 election, Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren pulled no punches when condemning the rioters on Capitol Hill Wednesday, referring to them as &#8220;anarchistic animals&#8221; who make her sick.</p>
<p>&#8220;I never thought I’d see the day when some Trump supporters – many of whom I thought were my fellow patriots – would act like the very thugs and anarchists we’ve spent much of the year condemning,&#8221; <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/capitol-riot-violence-tomi-lahren-reaction">she said</a> on her show &#8220;Final Thoughts.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Whether it was Antifa and leftist agitators sprinkled in or truly just angry Trump supporters, I am appalled and disgusted by your behavior,&#8221; she added. “Have you lost your damn minds?”</p>
<p>Though Lahren shared in the rioters&#8217; sentiments that Trump lost in a &#8220;fraudulent election,&#8221; she was wholly &#8220;disappointed&#8221; in the complete disregard for the rule of law on Wednesday.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m not disappointed in you for your anger, your passion, or your frustration. I’m right there with you on all of that,&#8221; she said. &#8220;But I am beyond disappointed that the very people who proclaim to respect each other, respect law enforcement, and respect basic decency would act in that manner. This is not what this movement is about. That is not what Donald Trump stands for, and that is not how conservatives behave.”</p>
<p>Seeking to separate the rioters with the conservative movement as a whole, Lahren said that fighting and violence should be reserved only for when all else is lost and there is no other option. Beyond that, Lahren implored people to go about social change through peaceful means.</p>
<p>&#8220;This movement is made up of conservative patriots who work hard, obey the law, worship the Lord, and respect the property, belongings, and well-being of others. We only fight if we have to and yesterday, we did not have to. &#8230; The moment we start acting like that, our very valid message is lost,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>To make real change, Lahren said conservatives should &#8220;stop cowering in the corner and pretending we don’t have political beliefs&#8221; and &#8220;stop placating to the liberals in our classrooms, social circles, and families who shame us into silence.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We recall the mayors and governors, of both political parties, who are infringing on our rights, businesses, jobs, and livelihoods,&#8221; she said. &#8220;What we don’t do is start acting like liberals. We don’t destroy things; we don’t disrespect law enforcement and law and order; we don’t throw tantrums when things don’t go our way.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I know we are better than this,&#8221; she concluded, adding: &#8220;We have a country to save. I know you’re angry, I know you feel cheated, but in all of the emotion, do not forget who you are, who we are.&#8221;</p>
<p>Also on Thursday, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), who was himself a previous victim of left-wing violence, unequivocally condemned the riot on Capitol Hill Wednesday as the work of “anarchists and terrorists.”</p>
<p>“It was a very disturbing day yesterday. You know, I had a lot of anger, [as] so many of my colleagues, that the Capitol got overrun. These were anarchists and terrorists,” <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/capitol-riots-overrun-anarchists-terrorists-steve-scalise">Scalise told</a> “Fox &amp; Friends.”</p>

‘Have You Lost Your Damn Minds?’: Tomi Lahren Forcefully Condemns Capitol Hill Rioters

<p>Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/senator-marsha-blackburn-taylor-swift-tenessee-truce">called for a truce</a> with pop singer Taylor Swift, and wants to have a conversation about &#8220;improving the lives of Tennesseans.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;My door is always open to individuals that want to have a conversation about, &#8216;How do you improve the lives of Tennesseans? How do you improve the lives of Americans?'&#8221; Blackburn told Fox Nation&#8217;s Tomi Lahren.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have good friends that are Democrats, and we have great conversations,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I learn from them, and they learn from me &#8230; that&#8217;s the way it ought to be.&#8221;</p>
<p>On being a conservative woman and the hate that comes with the territory, Blackburn said that she has found that &#8220;most women are very much like me,&#8221; in that &#8220;they&#8217;re concerned about their family, their home&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The narrative from the Left, the narrative from the Democrats, is that somehow being a conservative woman, you are a traitor to your own gender,&#8221; Lahren responded.</p>
<p>&#8220;The more conservatives that you know, you realize that being a conservative calls on you to give of your best efforts for others to improve the world,&#8221; Blackburn said.</p>

<p>Taylor Swift largely steered away from politics until Marsha Blackburn ran for a U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee and won. The Netflix documentary “Miss Americana&#8221; chronicled Swift’s eventual decision to start endorsing Democratic candidates for office — specifically, over the GOP’s support of what she referred to as the “slate of hate bills” in her home state, which would, among other things, allow religious adoption agencies to prefer that children go to married heterosexual couples over same-sex couples.</p>
<p>At the time of the documentary&#8217;s release, despite Taylor Swift routinely bashing her, Blackburn <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/true-class-sen-marsha-blackburn-praises-taylor-swift-after-singer-bashes-her-in-netflix-documentary">took the high road</a> by praising Swift for the issues they have in common — namely, protecting artists from censorship and theft.</p>
<p>“Taylor is an exceptionally gifted artist and songwriter, and Nashville is fortunate to be the center of her creative universe,” Blackburn said in a statement. “While there are policy issues on which we may always disagree, we do agree on the need to throw the entertainment community’s collective influence behind legislation protecting songwriters, musicians, and artists from censorship, copyright theft, and profiteering. The Music Modernization Act was a huge win for creators, and the BOTS Act for fans. Growing support behind the AM-FM Act will close loopholes blocking compensation for radio play. I welcome any further opportunities to work with Tennessee’s and the nation’s creative communities to protect intellectual property and ensure appropriate compensation for their creations. On that note, I wish Taylor the best — she’s earned it.”</p>
<p>In an Instagram post way back in 2018, Swift characterized Marsha Blackburn as an enemy of “human rights” while speaking of the “systemic racism” that people of color experience in this country.</p>
<p>“In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/f-that-i-dont-care-taylor-swift-gets-political-in-new-doc-dunks-on-trump">she wrote</a>. “I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent. I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender, or who they love.”</p>

Sen. Marsha Blackburn On Attacks From Taylor Swift: ‘I Have Good Friends That Are Democrats’

<p>On Monday, political pundit and FOX Nation host Tomi Lahren put out a 14-minute video addressing her and her friends&#8217; issues with men.</p>
<p>The segment, prefaced as a helpful guide for men and titled, &#8220;PSA for Boyish Men,&#8221; stressed that men over the age of 20 from across the country – from Texas, to Nashville, to Los Angeles – do not know how to treat women and are generally &#8220;trash,&#8221; though there are exceptions, she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I consider myself a teacher, a helper, someone who could possibly inspire people to be better,&#8221; started Lahren. &#8220;So, with that being said, this is a PSA for all the men out there, and all the boys that think they&#8217;re men, but they&#8217;re actually boys. This is gonna be the summer of canceling boys.&#8221;</p>
<p>“All of my friends are attractive; all of my friends are successful; all of my friends have something going on; almost every single one of them have an issue with men,&#8221; the pundit outlined, adding that &#8220;if all of these women, including myself, are having issues, then I have to think, it might not be us, it might be you. It might be men.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve often talked about the ‘p*ssification’ of America and how men are no longer men,&#8221; Lahren continued. “ &#8230; It is not just the guys in Los Angeles, Nashville, Dallas, and they’re not any better in the Midwest – they, quite frankly, I think they’re trash all over this country, in the age range of about 20 to, I think, about 55, maybe even 60.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;A lot of men are trash; a lot of men don’t know how to treat women,&#8221; the 27-year-old continued. &#8220;A lot of men don’t know how to, really, quite frankly, pull their heads out of the sand and pay attention, so I am going to help you.&#8221;</p>
<p>One of the four areas identified by Lahren was the issue of men pursuing a girl while they are involved with other women, or as she called them, &#8220;<a href="https://www.dictionary.com/browse/thot">Thot</a>-ianas,&#8221; a slang term for sl*t.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not a feminist, so please don&#8217;t take this as a feminist rant,&#8221; Lahren interjected after imploring men to follow-up with plans instead of merely texting women. &#8220;I love men. I think men are great. I think men have failed themselves, and they&#8217;ve failed us. And I&#8217;m just trying to help you out because I think there are a lot of really great guys out there who need a little help. And I don&#8217;t think there are a lot of women that are stepping up and saying these things.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So, I&#8217;m gonna go ahead and say them because they need to be said. I am really so sick of my friends having to deal with trash men; I&#8217;m tired of dealing with trash men,&#8221; Lahren added.</p>
<p>The pundit also told men to &#8220;value value&#8221; and not &#8220;mix in people like me and my friends who have something going on with your other girls that have nothing going on. &#8230; Don&#8217;t mix us in with the Thot-ianas.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lahren&#8217;s last tip for men was to not be a &#8220;b****&#8221; if girls like Lahren and her friends are uninterested in you after you do not treat them right.</p>

‘A Lot Of Men Are Trash’: Tomi Lahren Posts 14-Minute ‘PSA For Boyish Men’

<p>On Thursday, for Halloween, Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren dressed up as what she called “the thing that scares me the most”: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.</p>
<p>Wearing a brown wig, large glasses, and carrying a binder titled “Green New Deal” as well as a copy of &#8220;The Communist Manifesto,&#8221; Lahren wrote on Instagram, &#8220;This Halloween I decided to dress up as the thing that scares me most, the Democrat Dimwit Darling herself. I’m not afraid of ghouls, ghosts, zombies or political incorrectness. I am far more terrified AOC was actually elected to the United States Congress. Talk about a haunted House…” She added the hashtags #Socialism Kills and #TeamTomi.</p>

<p>Lahren released a short video saying, “The Left is getting really triggered with my AOC costume and they’re saying I’m disparaging her for being a bartender. Let me make this very clear: her being a former bartender is the most admirable quality AOC has. Period.”</p>
<p>After AOC&#8217;s Green New Deal was announced, Lahren said on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheFOXNation/videos/589989784758472/?v=589989784758472">Fox Nation:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Yes, it&#8217;s called the Green New Deal and shock, they don&#8217;t how or who is going to pay for it.  The only thing green about it is the money they are taking out of our pockets to fund their socialist utopia.  But here are some of the genius tenants of the non-binding resolution from hell: a full phase-out of fossil fuels; health care for all Americans; net zero emissions in ten years because it takes a while to get rid of all the farting livestock, y&#8217;know: an upgrade or replacement of every building for the state of the art energy efficiency; a high speed rail to replace air travel; economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work.</p>
<p>Yeah, when I say the Democratic party is absolutely, undoubtedly and unarguably out of its collective freaking mind, this is what I&#8217;m talking about.  So, how much would this Green New Deal cost?  Well Alexandria doesn&#8217;t know and she doesn&#8217;t care who&#8217;s gonna pay for it.  Alexandria doesn&#8217;t know and doesn&#8217;t care, but obviously we are, those of us who work to support those who aren&#8217;t willing.</p></blockquote>
<p>As <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7637451/Conservative-commentator-Tomi-Lahren-dresses-AOC-Halloween.html">The Daily Mail</a> noted, last January on Fox &amp; Friends Lahren said, “There’s a difference between being successful on Twitter and social media like Ocasio-Cortez and being relatable on social media platforms and actually being successful in real life.”</p>
<p>In July, Ocasio-Cortez visited U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) detention centers in Texas, then tweeted, “Just left the 1st CBP facility. I see why CBP officers were being so physically &amp;sexually threatening towards me. Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water &amp; had told them to drink out of the toilets. This was them on their GOOD behavior in front of members of Congress.”</p>

Politicon 2019 – Day 1

Tomi Lahren Dresses Up As ‘The Thing That Scares Me The Most’ For Halloween: AOC

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

<p>Conservative commentator and FOX Nation host Tomi Lahren, who was fired by TheBlaze back in 2017 for calling it &#8220;hypocritical&#8221; to both support limited government and pro-life abortion laws, criticized Alabama&#8217;s &#8220;heartbeat bill&#8221; on Thursday as &#8220;too restrictive.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I will be attacked by fellow conservatives for saying this but so be it, this Alabama abortion ban is too restrictive,&#8221; said Lahren. &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t save life, it simply forces women into more dangerous methods, other states or countries. You don&#8217;t encourage life via blanket government mandate!&#8221;</p>

<p>After some of the pushback she expected online, Lahren followed up her post by replying to a tweet slamming her stance as &#8220;anti-Christian, anti-family, and anti-freedom.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If you think banning abortion with no exception for rape or incest will stop women from terminating pregnancy, you&#8217;re not being honest with yourself,&#8221; wrote Lahren, adding: &#8220;P.S. you&#8217;re not God so don&#8217;t you dare evaluate my Christian faith based on your moral superiority complex.&#8221;</p>

</div>
<p>Lahren caused a stir on the right back in March 2017 when she voiced her pro-choice perspective during an appearance on &#8220;The View.&#8221; At the time, Lahren hosted her own show on Glenn Beck&#8217;s TheBlaze TV, but her comments drove a wedge between herself and her employer resulting in her suspension and a wrongful termination lawsuit.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m pro-choice, and here&#8217;s why,&#8221; Lahren told the hosts of &#8220;The View.&#8221; &#8220;I am a constitutional, you know, someone that loves the Constitution. I&#8217;m someone that&#8217;s for limited government. So I can&#8217;t sit here and be a hypocrite and say I&#8217;m for limited government but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies. I can sit here and say that, as a Republican and I can say, you know what, I&#8217;m for limited government, so stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well.&#8221;</p>
<p>In response, Beck suspended Lahren and engaged in a back and forth with her on Twitter, as noted by <a href="https://variety.com/2017/tv/news/tomi-lahren-suspended-the-blaze-pro-choice-glenn-beck-1202012572/">Variety</a>. &#8220;Rule another label out. I am NOT a &#8216;constitutional.'&#8221; Beck tweeted. &#8220;I believe in LIFE, liberty and property. Just an old fashioned &#8216;constitutionalist.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I have moderate, conservative, and libertarian views,&#8221; Lahren tweeted the next day. &#8220;I&#8217;m human. I will never apologize, to anyone, for being an independent thinker.&#8221; In response, Beck wrote: &#8220;Wait, libertarian views? Help me out on Trumpcare, stimulus, and executive orders. Trump is anything but libertarian.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lahren eventually sued TheBlaze and Beck for wrongful termination, the parties ultimately settling in May 2017.</p>
<p>&#8220;The deal allows the 24-year-old pundit to be freed from her employment contract &#8212; which was to expire in September &#8212; and pursue new work that competes with The Blaze,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/dallas/2017/05/01/tomi-lahren-glenn-beck-settle-lawsuit">The Dallas Morning News</a>, which broke the story, reported. &#8220;She also gets to keep the Facebook page that The Blaze created for her, and on which she has amassed 4.3 million followers. Lahren will &#8216;promptly&#8217; return The Blaze&#8217;s &#8216;intellectual property&#8217; that was posted to the Facebook page, said her lawyer, Brian Lauten. In court hearings, Lauten had offered to delete all of the videos produced by The Blaze off the Facebook page, which would include some of Lahren&#8217;s most popular posts. Some had been watched more than 67 million times.&#8221;</p>

Tomi Lahren Blasts Alabama ‘Heartbeat Bill’

Abortion

Alabama

Fox News

Glenn Beck

<p><strong><em>WARNING: This post contains graphic offensive language</em></strong></p>
<p>On Wednesday, rapper &#8220;The Game,&#8221; whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, launched one of the most vile, sexist attacks on a female conservative figure to date. Lahren, however, was sure to hit back.</p>
<p>In an Instagram post, Taylor posted side-by-side photos of Lahren &#8212; one from when she was just 16 years old and the other one a recent headshot &#8212; with a caption accusing the media figure of undergoing &#8220;nine&#8221; plastic surgery procedures and sleeping with men to obtain her platform.</p>
<p>The vicious sexist nature of the attack cannot be overemphasized: Taylor disparaged Lahren&#8217;s looks and called the 26-year-old a &#8220;semen c****er,&#8221; a &#8220;b****,&#8221; a &#8220;s***,&#8221; and a &#8220;w****,&#8221; among other vile names.</p>
<p>&#8220;[L]isten here semen c****er, as long as you have that forehead &amp; that baby giraffe wee wee of a nose, you&#8217;ll never win !!! You&#8217;re a racist s*** who s***ed &amp; s******** her way into her job &amp; position only to misuse your platform &amp; degrade the very culture you you praised so much before your mediocre rise to media fame,&#8221; he wrote.</p>
<p>The rapper continued, accusing Lahren of being a &#8220;racist,&#8221; calling her a &#8220;b****&#8221; and telling her to &#8220;shut the f*** up.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;[Y]ou can never UN-S****** all the d***s you s***ed on the way up,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;Oh&#8217; &amp; keep your mouth closed, I can smell the unborn babies from here,&#8221; he added.</p>

<p>Lahren offered a response to the rapper via Instagram, and later in a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tomi-lahren-the-game-is-over.amp?__twitter_impression=true">video</a> for Fox News&#8217; Fox Nation.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is for you,&#8221; she started an Instagram post, using the same side-by-side photo of her that Taylor used. &#8220;On the left is an unflattering high school photo of me. On the right is me now. Same big forehead, same ears that kinda stick out, same eyebrows, same Tomi. The difference? Tomi today has the guts and the confidence to post that high school photo you mocked.&#8221;</p>
<p>The commentator continued, &#8220;Because guess what, I don&#8217;t do what I do for your approval or praise. I do it for the millions of young girls (on both sides of the political spectrum) who deserve to see a woman like me stand up for herself and not take s*** from jerks like you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lahren made it point to address other women, telling them their beauty is not defined by their appearance, but by their confidence.</p>
<p>&#8220;And ladies,&#8221; she said, &#8220;I hope you see this and know that beauty isn&#8217;t about your hair, makeup, eyebrows, weight, or any of it. Beauty radiates when you have the confidence to stand up for and love yourself regardless of who tries to pull you down.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So yeah Game, you can make fun of me and demean me but end of the day, you&#8217;re just a classless rapper who degrades women for attention. I win. Game over,&#8221; she concluded, adding the hashtags: &#8220;#TeamTomi#stillconfident #neverplaydead&#8221;</p>

<p>In a video for Fox Nation, Lahren made it clear that she will not be silenced, but noted how such inhumane sexist attacks deter other young girls from wanting to speak their minds in public. (Partial transcript <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tomi-lahren-the-game-is-over.amp?__twitter_impression=true">via</a> Fox News)</p>
<p>&#8220;The things he said about me were perhaps the ugliest and most repulsive things I have ever read,&#8221; started the media personality. &#8220;And I&#8217;ve read A LOT of nasty things about myself.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I have thick skin, really thick skin, but I am still a human being. I am someone&#8217;s daughter, someone&#8217;s granddaughter, someone&#8217;s girlfriend, and a person,&#8221; she said. &#8220;You don&#8217;t have to like me. You can even call me ugly, dumb, or a whole dictionary full of horrible things, but the collection of things that have been said or directed at me from The Game and friends, is not okay. And it&#8217;s not just that it&#8217;s not okay to say those things to me&#8230;It&#8217;s not okay period.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Look, I don&#8217;t worry about me,&#8221; she continued. I signed up for this. I think about all the young ladies who follow me and read this stuff and see this stuff.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I know girls see this stuff and think, I will never speak out like Tomi does and I will never be confident in my opinions because look what happens when you are &#8212; you get treated like less than a human,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t back down and I don&#8217;t stoop to their level because that&#8217;s not how I was raised. I may make political points that offend people and I&#8217;ll own that, but I would never even think half of the things that are said about me and to me. I wouldn&#8217;t wish that kind of language on my worst enemy,&#8221; Lahren said.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;d be easy to cower in the corner but playing dead has never really been my style. God bless and take care,&#8221; she concluded.</p>

Knowles: I Used To Share Tomi Lahren’s View On Abortion, Until I Was Asked This Question

Michael Knowles

<p>Over the weekend, Tomi Lahren <a href="http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/07/06/tomi-lahren-pushing-new-scotus-justice-overturn-roe-v-wade-would-be-big-mistake">argued</a> that conservatives should give up on the abortion fight and stop trying to overturn Roe. She said that it would be a &#8220;mistake&#8221; to &#8220;challenge a position&#8221; that &#8220;most Americans support.&#8221; We should focus on taxes, immigration, and foreign policy and &#8220;stop messing with social issues.&#8221; The government is incompetent, Lahren reasoned, and therefore it should stop trying to &#8220;regulate social issues.&#8221; Although she personally wouldn&#8217;t get an abortion, she insists, she also believes the government has no right to &#8220;dictate&#8221; on the subject. Let us then surrender the small and inconsequential matter of the mass slaughter of 60 million human persons and instead turn our attention to more pressing concerns like the adjustable tax rate.</p>
<p>I think Lahren is wrong on probably eight or nine different levels. I will focus now on just three of them:</p>
<p>1) She is not the first to suggest that we pivot from &#8220;social issues&#8221; and instead try to win hearts and minds by blathering about taxes. Here she is simply restating a mainstream Republican talking point that has been driving the Party and the conservative movement further and further into cultural irrelevancy for at least the past 50 years. The problem with abandoning social issues is that Republicans have already abandoned social issues, and we are still waiting for the positive results this strategy was supposed to generate. I think we will be waiting forever.</p>
<p>It turns out that people are not primarily motivated by their wallets, even less by a passion for sorting out the affairs of foreign countries. People care most deeply about the issues that speak to their fundamental values and principles. People want to feel that they are fighting for something real, something important, something <em>moral</em>. While Republicans scamper like frightened deer from any discussion of morality, the Left frames almost all of its arguments in moral terms. They frame the arguments wrongly, and dishonestly, but the fact remains that they use moral language. And it works. Republicans say, &#8220;Adopt our position because it will make you prosperous and secure.&#8221; The Left says (incorrectly), &#8220;Adopt our position because it is right and ethical.&#8221; Guess who wins hearts and minds &#8212; especially the hearts and minds of the younger generation?</p>
<p>Of course, the irony here is that Leftists are moral relativists and materialists. They have no basis upon which to make a moral argument, but they make it anyway. Conservatives have a basis, yet they do not make it. They also have the greatest human rights atrocity in world history to fight against, yet many of them will not fight it. They declare that nobody is interested in fighting historic evils, even as history is filled with the stories of people who rebelled against governments, toppled empires, stormed beaches, and martyred themselves for no other reason than to fight historic evils, even as the pro-life movement in America can manage to gather together four or five hundred thousand people every year, in the dead of winter, for a march that usually garners little media attention and which mainstream conservative figures will not help them promote.</p>
<p>Yet Tomi Lahren stands to the side with a sneer, yawns, and says, &#8220;Nobody cares about these stupid social issues.&#8221; And then she goes and records her 15th impassioned rant against Beyonce.</p>
<p>2) We pro-lifers are either wrong or right. We cannot be anything in between. We leave Tomi Lahren and everyone else no room to straddle the line. The claim we make is too radical, too absolute, too severe. We insist that actual human persons are being legally and systematically murdered by the thousands every day in America. We insist that 60 million such persons have lost their lives in the last few decades. We insist that entire generations are being erased from existence. If we are wrong, then there is no reason to respect us, support us, or &#8220;personally agree&#8221; with us on any level. We are maniacs and oppressors, and that is what you should call us.</p>
<p>But if we are right, then this matter deserves your undivided attention. If we are right, then our fight is the most important fight in the world. If we are right, then this mere &#8220;social issue&#8221; dwarfs every other issue and the only criticism you can make of our tactics and our rhetoric is that they are not radical enough. Certainly, at a minimum, if we are right then abortion is a holocaust and our government should abolish this holocaust for the same reason it abolished Hitler&#8217;s holocaust. It should abolish it even more so, actually, because it is presently guilty of facilitating and funding this holocaust. So, you must either be radically in agreement with us or radically opposed. I do not see how any rational, thinking person could sit in the middle ground. There is no middle ground.</p>
<p>Tomi and the rest in her camp should choose a side. They already have chosen a side, but they are not being intellectually honest about the side they have chosen and the implications of choosing it. I will now explain those implications.</p>
<p>3) If you agree with the Left that abortion should remain legal, then you agree with the Left about abortion. The &#8220;I&#8217;m personally opposed&#8221; or &#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t personally do it&#8221; escape hatch is purely rhetorical and meaningless. The only relevant question is whether it ought to be legal to kill human beings in the womb. If you say yes, your personal reservations on the matter are either fictional or, worse, an indication of your moral cowardice and self-interest. But what does it mean to agree with the Left on abortion?</p>
<p>First, it means that you believe human life has no <em>intrinsic</em> worth or dignity. It can perhaps acquire something like worth and dignity over time, but only conditionally. It does not by its nature possess either quality. Which is to say that it does not <em>possess</em> either quality at all. It is merely given these qualities by society when society decides that it is temporarily deserving of them.</p>
<p>Second, it means that you believe morality is subjective. Or else you believe that morality is objective and directly killing innocent, defenseless human life is, or can be, objectively moral. This latter option is not a proposition most pro-aborts will defend. Instead they will say what Tomi says: &#8220;Well, it may not be right for me but I can&#8217;t say if it&#8217;s right or wrong for anyone else.&#8221; This is called moral relativism. It supposes that the morality of an act depends entirely on the desires and preferences of the actor. It supposes, more simply, that morality doesn&#8217;t exist.</p>
<p>But here&#8217;s the problem: to reject the intrinsic worth of human life is to be a materialist. To reject the objectivity of the moral law is to be a moral relativist. Materialism and moral relativism are the two essential pillars, the two defining philosophies, which ground, support, and animate modern leftism. How can a person affirm those pillars, adopt them, argue in favor of them, and yet oppose the Left at the same time? That is like trying to demolish a building with a can of spray paint. You can perhaps deface the building, but it will still stand in the end, substantially uninjured. If you wish to knock down the building, you must knock out the pillars.</p>
<p>But Tomi stands in front of the pillars and demands that we put down the wrecking ball and get back to vandalizing the front porch. She may be annoying to the Left, she could even reasonably aspire to be a moderately inconvenient nuisance to the Left, but she will never do their ideology any harm or win any significant victories for the other side so long as she defends them where it really counts.</p>


WALSH: Why Tomi Lahren Is Catastrophically Wrong About Abortion

<p>After video of classless restaurant patrons throwing a drink at her and screaming foul insults went viral, conservative commentator Tomi Lahren addressed the ugly incident on Fox News.</p>
<p>Speaking with &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; Wednesday morning, Lahren said that while she&#8217;s &#8220;a person too&#8221; and gets &#8220;humiliated and embarrassed&#8221; just like anyone else, the only people who will end up looking back on this in humiliation are the people who attacked her. &#8220;I think their parents raised them better,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/30962/watch-tomi-lahren-gets-drink-thrown-her-verbally-amanda-prestigiacomo">incident</a> took place over the weekend while Lahren was having brunch with her parents in a restaurant in Minneapolis. A group of patrons at the restaurant approached Lahren and unloaded on her with a barrage of insults, including &#8220;b****,&#8221; &#8220;c***,&#8221; and &#8220;racist,&#8221; while one of them threw a glass of water at her. Videos of the incident, proudly posted by one woman who celebrated the actions of the people, went viral.</p>
<p>&#8220;We were just enjoying brunch after I did a show the night before,&#8221; Lahren told &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends.&#8221; &#8220;Unfortunately, there was a group of people around my age that thought it would be funny to throw water at me and then start chanting profanity. And, again, it&#8217;s something that I&#8217;m not used to but really disheartening.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lahren noted that when one of the people threw water at her, it hit her mom, too. &#8220;This was something that was embarrassing for me and embarrassing for my family,&#8221; she said. &#8220;At the end of the day, I&#8217;m a person too, and I do get humiliated and embarrassed, just like anyone else. But I&#8217;m tough; my family&#8217;s tough. We can handle it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that those who threw the water and that were plotting and laughing about it, wanted to get their 15 minutes of fame by making a video of me. I think, looking back, those are the people that are going to be embarrassed by their actions. I think their parents raised them better.&#8221;</p>
<p>She continued: &#8220;And, furthermore, you don&#8217;t have to like me, you don&#8217;t have to agree with my political opinions, but you don&#8217;t have the right to throw things at me. Is that the point we&#8217;ve gotten in this country, where you can&#8217;t agree with someone civilly without resorting to something like that? It&#8217;s really disheartening, but, again, I&#8217;m tough; I can handle it. There are those out there that might not have as thick as skin, and that&#8217;s the people that I worry about.&#8221;</p>
<p>The hosts pointed out that many on the other side of the political spectrum have come to her defense, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/30974/trump-and-woman-who-hates-him-most-come-defense-james-barrett">including Kathy Griffin</a>.</p>

WATCH: Tomi Lahren Gives Perfect Response To Being Attacked At Restaurant

Kathy Griffin

<p>While visiting a Minneapolis restaurant with her mother for brunch over the weekend, Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren was verbally and physically attacked, seemingly for her political views.</p>
<p>In videos posted to social media, Lahren is seen being cursed out by restaurant customers who call her a &#8220;b****,&#8221; &#8220;racist&#8221; and a &#8220;c***.&#8221; In a proudly-posted video, one woman throws a drink on the 25-year-old as she exits the establishment.</p>
<p>One man, being cheered on, spewed the following at Lahren: &#8220;F*** that b****. F*** this h**. Racist ass b****. Why you even out here? Get this b**** out of here. F*** that b****.&#8221;</p>
<p>The woman who posted the video captioned the post, &#8220;Whoever the guy is that cussed her out, I hope you&#8217;re having an amazing day.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another video posted by the same user was captioned, &#8220;Whoever threw this drink at Tomi Lahren, thank you.&#8221; And the snap-chatted video reads, &#8220;Throws a drink at Tomi Lahren hahahaha &#8230; Thanks for the screenshots I did it lol.&#8221;</p>

<p>Lahren responded to the attack on Tuesday night, writing on Twitter, &#8220;I appreciate the words of support- even from those who normally dislike me.

WATCH: Tomi Lahren Gets Drink Thrown On Her, Verbally Attacked While Out To Brunch With Her Mother

Violence

<p>On Tuesday morning, Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren responded to a co-host at &#8220;The View&#8221; digging up her family ancestry for a bizarre attack launched on the 25-year-old earlier in the week. Lahren hit back, laughing at the ladies for finding out that her ancestors immigrated to the United States legally and suggested some time be spent on Senator Elizabeth Warren&#8217;s (D-MA) ancestry next.</p>
<p>&#8220;What she found was really shocking, guys,&#8221; <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2018/05/15/tomi-lahren-the-view/">started</a> Lahren, speaking of &#8220;View&#8221; cohost Sunny Hostin. &#8220;She found that my family who came there, in the 1800s, from Norway and Germany, that they spoke Norwegian and German. Really what she did is prove that my family came here legally.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hostin wasn&#8217;t alone in the attack. Anti-Trumper Jennifer Mendelsohn posted Lahren&#8217;s genealogy to Twitter in a similar charge against the commentator&#8217;s support for merit-based immigration and recent comments on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Watters&#8217; World&#8221; lamenting potential immigrants&#8217; lack of skills and inability to speak English.</p>
<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t just get to come into this country with low skills, low education, not understanding the language, and come into our country because someone says it makes them feel nice,&#8221; Lahren said on the Fox program.</p>

<p>&#8220;I really am happy though that she has such a fascination with my family history, and I&#8217;m hoping that she&#8217;ll take on Elizabeth Warren&#8217;s next,&#8221; quipped Lahren, seemingly directing the comment at Mendelsohn.</p>
<p>On Monday&#8217;s show, Hostin gleefully <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/30626/watch-view-women-trash-tomi-lahren-dug-ancestry-amanda-prestigiacomo">read</a> from the ancestry report. &#8220;What&#8217;s interesting is, someone did do some research on Tomi Lahren&#8217;s family, and I have it in front of me,&#8221; she said in a mocking tone. &#8220;Her second great grandmother had been here for ten years yet spoke no English. Oh my gosh. Her great grandfather&#8217;s 1885 baptism, recorded only in Norwegian because they didn&#8217;t speak any English. The 1930 census says Tomi&#8217;s three times great grandmother had been here for 41 years and still spoke German. She didn&#8217;t speak English either.&#8221;</p>
