Tomi Lahren Condemned by Fox News Colleagues

· Leave a Comment

Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren suggested in a tweet that Sen. Kamala Harris “slept her way to the top” when she had a relationship in the mid-1990s with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.

Daily Beast: “Lahren was swiftly condemned for invoking Harris’ personal relationship to dismiss the 2020 candidate’s long record in elected office, rising from San Francisco district attorney to California’s attorney general before being elected to the U.S. Senate. But while the tweet attracted its share of liberal critics, some of Lahren’s own colleagues at Fox News openly expressed disgust at her comments.”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.

Tomi Lahren for Congress?

· Leave a Comment

Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report: “The confrontational 24-year old was introduced to the rest of the country (and the rest of the ideological spectrum) recently with a profile in the New York Times… If she wants it, Lahren would have a plausible path to Congress.”

“She is a native of Rapid City, South Dakota. And less than a week after winning re-election last month, GOP Rep. Kristi Noem of South Dakota announced she would leave her at-large district at the end of her term to run for governor in 2018. With Trump’s 62% to 32% victory over Hillary Clinton in the Mount Rushmore State and Noem’s 64% to 36% re-election victory, the battle for the congresswoman’s seat will essentially take place in the Republican primary.”

“Lahren has the opportunity to overwhelm the field.”
