Fox News Hires Commentator Who Once Compared Black Lives Matter to the KKK
“Meet the New KKK, They Call Themselves ‘Black Lives Matter'” Lahren Said Last Year
Wednesday night Sean Hannity will introduce the newest Fox News commentator: Tomi Lahren, who just last summer compared Black Lives Matter to the Ku Klux Klan. After outrage, she deleted the tweet.

She adamantly denies being racist.
“Lahren will have a signature role on the network’s upcoming digital lineup and will also offer political commentary to the network’s opinion programming, primarily ‘Hannity.'” Variety reports.
“Fair and balanced, she is not,” The BBC reported last November. “She takes a Trumpish tough line on immigration and Islam. She’s compared Black Lives Matter movement to the Ku Klux Klan, and in the Kaepernick video and others she criticises African-Americans for unemployment, drug abuse and other social problems.”
The 25-year old conservative pundit recently settled a lawsuit against Glenn Beck’s The Blaze, from which she was suspended after coming out as pro-choice.
A master social media maven, Lahren tweets and posts to Facebook boiled-down ideas that are easily digestible by her far right wing audience.
So Leftists are anti-wall, anti-gun, and anti-police… sorry that’s not going to work out. #MAGA

They are usually tinged with attacks on equality and other social justice issues:
Pres Trump dedicated to putting radical Muslims in graves whereas Pres Obama was dedicated to putting men in the ladies room. #MAGA

So you want the Millennial vote? I have some “final thoughts.” Maybe a little less talk about gay… https://t.co/IKbbymXN1N

To be clear, the “snowflakery” knows no race. Fun fact, most snowflakes are white liberals. â„ï¸â„ï¸

Who IS allowed to call rioters and looters “thugs?” Apparently, it’s racist if I do it. https://t.co/PdBP87bECf this weekend 7pmPT/10pmET

Here’s a taste of Lahren’s worldview, in an interview six months ago with Sean Hannity:Â
