Report: Tomi Lahren Suspended by TheBlaze

http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2017/03/20/report-tomi-lahren-suspended-at-theblaze.html?via=desktop&source=copyurl

"SNIP............


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, Lahren’s “suspension is in effect for at least one week,” and that even though “Lahren’s 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, TheBlaze’s managing editor, had sent a messages to Blaze staff informing them that Lahren’s 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 [Tomi’s] 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.

Don't know, don't care who or what a Tomi Lahren is but I appreciate the opportunity to laugh at Beck!

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.

6. Yep, she is desperately trying to get hired by Fox or a "serious" news outlet. She is not bright

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.

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.

7. As with Megan McCain, Tomi has horrific "acting" skills.

She may be more opportunist and libertarian. She speaks of religion as sacrosanct yet knows little of what is stated.

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.
