Right-wing firebrand and rising media star Tomi Lahren has reportedly been suspended by TheBlaze, where she hosts a primetime commentary show. Lahren, 24, came into controversy over the weekend after a Friday appearance on The View, in which she claimed to be pro-choice and essentially argued that anti-abortion conservatives are hypocrites. Her comments led to a public scolding from her boss, Glenn Beck, who then used his radio show on Monday morning to subtly jab at her as intellectually dishonest. According to The Daily Caller, another conservative outlet, Lahrens suspension is in effect for at least one week, and that even though Lahrens contract with the company goes until September... she may leave the company before then. The reasons for her alleged suspension were not revealed in the report.
Two sources told The Daily Beast that Leon Wolf, TheBlazes managing editor, had sent a messages to Blaze staff informing them that Lahrens show would not be in production this week. When reached by The Daily Beast on Monday, Wolf said that it was communicated to me that [Tomis] show was not going to be produced this week," and that he wanted to let Blaze employees know before they heard about it elsewhere. He said he did not specifically use the term suspended. TheBlaze and Lahren did not immediately respond to The Daily Beast's requests for comment.

(89,248 posts)But many conservative men don't like prochoice women since they see it as women being too independent and they expect women to do as they want.
I did see she was getting backlash.
I think for her it was a way to make money. She has the looks and just spew stupid shit to appeal to conservative men.
But she went off script and conservative men believe they are the owners of the women's body.

(5,611 posts)and not at all impressive so I have no idea why anyone would waste the $$$ to hire her but who knows. Maybe she'll turn up on Fox. She'll be horrible though.

(89,248 posts)But she does just come off as an idiot and that's why fox never hired her. Because she easily has the looks for it .
I saw a clip of her being interviwed by oreilly and even there she was pretty bad and she wasn't even being challenged on anything.
I view her more as a kardashian type.

(19,348 posts)She may be more opportunist and libertarian. She speaks of religion as sacrosanct yet knows little of what is stated.

(10,893 posts)Tomi making a pro-choice comment is unacceptable, but everything else she said prior to that (such as her comments related to Colin Kaepernick/BLM) is fine?
I see you, Blaze.
