Fox News Women Condemn Lahren For Suggesting Harris Slept Her ‘Way To The Top’

While vehemently live-tweeting the second round of the second Democratic debate on Wednesday evening, Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren was shut down by at least two female contributors to Fox News for making the baseless, ugly claim that Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) slept her “way to the top” in her career.

Thanks, “Tomi,” for the important reminder that you don’t have to be a man to be a misogynist.

When will Tami Lahren get her own Fox “News” show? She would fit right in with the guys running the place.

What?

They were unhappy because Harris might’ve stolen their thunder???

Not a one of those females is anything but a talking head. Harris got through law school and has a lengthy resume of accomplishments.

I suggest Tomi might be a bit jealous - she’s nothing but an influencer.

Remember “thanks, Obama?”

Thanks, Donald, for allowing shit like this to become mainstream.

Oh, yeah. Thanks GOP for feeding and watering it as well.

And most of all, thanks, Tomi, for helping with the Democratic Party’s all-important GOTV efforts for 2020. Idiot.

I can see a really really ugly election season on the horizon.

Career

Hoping to find an internship in political commentary, Lahren applied to One America News Network (OANN), obtained an interview, and was instead offered the opportunity to host her own show. She moved to San Diego, California and began working for OANN. On Point with Tomi Lahren debuted in August 2014.[14][7][15]

In July 2015, a video of her commentary on the 2015 Chattanooga shootings garnered widespread attention.[16] On August 19, Lahren announced that she had completed her last show with OANN. She moved to Texas, and began a new show with TheBlaze in November 2015. She became known for ending her program with three-minute segments called “final thoughts”, in which she spoke extremely quickly. These segments became widely popular on social media, but have been called “screeds” and “rants”.[17]

In January 2016, Lahren endorsed Marco Rubio for president in the Republican Party presidential primary.[18][19] On November 30, Lahren appeared on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah for a 26-minute interview. Many critics compared her appearance to former host Jon Stewart’s friendly rivalry with Bill O’Reilly.[20][21][22]

On March 17, 2017, Lahren made a guest appearance on The View in which she said that women should have access to abortion and said she would be a hypocrite if she supported both “limited government and also government restrictions on abortion”.[23] TheBlaze’s owner, Glenn Beck, who is pro-life, criticized Lahren for her comments and suspended her with pay,[4][24] leading Lahren to file a wrongful termination suit.[25][26][27] The suit was settled under an agreement in which Lahren kept her Facebook page but removed videos she had made with TheBlaze.[28]

In May 2017, Lahren began working in communications at Great America Alliance, an offshoot of Great America PAC, a large pro-Donald Trump super PAC chaired by Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani. Lahren described her role there as a “side gig” and said she would return to television as a commentator.[5] In August 2017, Lahren joined Fox News as a contributor.[11] She now hosts a talk show on Fox Nation called First Thoughts.

Your point is good but in practical terms the problem solves itself. There’s just so, so much of this sludge.

Tomi Lahren is–and I use the term advisedly and in its full range of semantic connotation–a whore.
