Tomi Lahren Lives in Alternate Universe Where Fox News Never Attacked Michelle Obama
The conservative commentator, who apparently was born in 2017, seems unaware of her network's long history of attacking the former first lady.
Fox News
On what planet does Tomi Lahren live?
The last time we checked in on the right-wing provocateur, she’d rebounded from being booted by Glenn Beck’s network by landing at Fox News and a pro-Trump PAC.
Lahren on Wednesday morning made the most of her Fox & Friends appearance today, in which she defended Melania Trump from Ana Navarro’s “disgusting and vile” criticism by suggesting Fox News would never stoop to the level of bashing a first lady.
Navarro, a CNN analyst, joked two days ago that Melania must have suffered “oxygen deprivation to the brain” in pushing for awareness of cyberbullying in an era when the world’s biggest cyberbully is her own husband and president.
Lahren, aghast, declared that she could not conceive of a world where previous first ladies like Michelle Obama would ever be treated with such disrespect on Fox News:
I have never seen a First Lady be attacked like this, like Melania Trump has, for the good works and good deeds that she's done. Can you imagine if we would sit here on Fox News and attack Michelle Obama for something that she was trying to do to better the country?
