Tomi Lahren has never shied away from controversy, but usually, the conservative commentator’s scrapes with her critics are the result of one of her controversial political stance.
This time, Lahren is in hot water for comments that are being widelyt condemned by folks from both sides of the aisle.
Earlier today, the 25-year-old media personality appeared via satellite on Donald Trump’s very favorite morning show, Fox & Friends.
Now if that classic video of the dude getting interrupted by his daughters while being interviewed by the BBC taught us anything, it’s that unexpected challenges can arise when one is appearing on television from the comfort of one’s home.
Of course, Tomi’s problem was less “LOL” and much more “WTF?!”
It seems Ms. Lahren’s small dog was loudly chewing a bone during her live broadcast.
Not wanting to be responsible for the president choking on his Egg McMuffin, Tomi did what any psychopath would do and repeatedly kicked the poor pooch.
In an Instagram story posted just after Tomi’s piece aired this morning, Lahren addresses the dog and confesses to giving him the boot.
“Why don’t you tell the world what you were doing during my entire Fox & Friends hit,” says Lahren.
“Oh I know, chewing on her damn bone as loud as she possibly could. So I had to kick her about five times during the show.”
Now, in all likelihood, Lahren was exaggerating – that is sort of her thing, after all.
And in fairness, we should note that the dog appeared happy and unharmed in the Instagram, story.
Still, Tomi isn’t exactly beloved on social media to begin with, so it’s not surprising that the internet really went in on her for her latest remarks:
“So just another reason for me to hate @TomiLahren she has boasted about kicking her dog,” tweeted one critic.
“Maybe a joke maybe not, either way not funny Maybe someone should kick you for making too much noise also!
Another tweeter even referenced the recent death of Stephen Hawking, writing:
“WHY STEPHEN HAWKING WHY NOT TOMI LAHREN?”
Pretty harsh, but still not as bad as the time Lahren pissed off Beyonce fans.
Those people take no prisoners.
