I know that the conservative media is all atwitter about Tomi Lahren.....Personally, I am not all that moved by her; (I'll admit she's cute); but the hype surrounding her hasn't struck me yet.
Moreover, I am no fan of the Blaze or Glenn Beck. Having said that, I found this interesting; especially after seeing the clip of Lahren on The View last week: http://dailycaller.com/2017/03/20/tomi-lahren-suspended-from-the-blaze/?utm_campaign=thedcmainpage&utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social POLITICS [image: (Screenshot/YouTube)] (Screenshot/YouTube) The Blaze Suspends Tomi Lahren [image: Photo of Peter Hasson] PETER HASSON <http://dailycaller.com/author/peterhasson/> Reporter, Associate Editor <http://dailycaller.com/author/peterhasson/> 4:38 PM 03/20/2017 5395 0 5395 0 Share 0:00 / 1:00 Conservative media company The Blaze has suspended political commentator Tomi Lahren, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Daily Caller. Lahren’s show is suspended for effect for at least one week starting Monday, according to TheDC’s sources. A source with direct knowledge of the situation previously told TheDC that Lahren’s contract with the company goes until September, but that she may leave the company before then. *(RELATED: Tomi Lahren Likely On Her Way Out At The Blaze) <http://dailycaller.com/2017/03/18/tomi-lahren-likely-on-her-way-out-at-the-blaze/>* Lahren’s inflammatory style placed her at odds with other employees at The Blaze, as previously reported by TheDC. Tensions were high between Lahren and her coworkers at The Blaze even before she called pro-life conservatives hypocrites in an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Friday. In her appearance on The View, Lahren said she is pro-choice and called pro-life conservatives hypocrites, saying, “I can’t sit here and be a hypocrite and say I’m for limited government but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies.” Sponsored Content - [image: Commercial Faces Revealed - Who is Lily from AT&T?]Commercial Faces Revealed - Who is Lily from AT&T?HistoryGarage <http://historygarage.com/famous-faces-television-commercials/?utm_source=outbrain&utm_campaign=commercials&utm_medium=referral> - [image: You're One Click Away from a Free Life Insurance Quote!]You're One Click Away from a Free Life Insurance Quote!SelectQuote <https://www.selectquote.com/ready_formr/?cid=t:con:c:leadform:ad:%24source_id%24:se:out&utm_source=outbrain&utm_medium=%24source_id%24&utm_campaign=leadform> - [image: 23 Secrets That Kelly Bundy Hid from Fans]23 Secrets That Kelly Bundy Hid from FansKiwi Report <http://cajpjhuft.kiwireport.com/29-facts-will-totally-surprise-married-children?utm_campaign=Married%20With%20Children%20V2%20-%20Desktop%20USA%20OB&utm_source=OutBrain&utm_content=000bf43b5a23c934e295fae5a21565d3d7&utm_term=23+Secrets+That+Kelly+Bundy+Hid+from+Fans> Sponsored Links by <http://www.outbrain.com/what-is/default/en> Lahren’s denouncement of pro-lifers sparked a backlash from her coworkers, as well as other prominent conservatives. In her typical adversarial style, Lahren fired back at critics on Twitter, saying, “I speak my truth. If you don’t like it, tough. I will always be honest and stand in my truth.” Soon after Lahren’s tweet, a reporter at The Blaze, Kate Scanlon, tweeted <https://twitter.com/kgscanlon/status/843124364413493249>, “There is no ‘my truth.’ There is only the truth.” Another reporter at The Blaze, Kaitlyn Schallhorn, tweeted <https://twitter.com/K_Schallhorn/status/843169861002018817> soon after: “Even Hillary Clinton didn’t call pro-life conservatives hypocrites.” On Monday, founder of The Blaze Glenn Beck–in an unusual move–played a clip of Lahren seemingly flip-flopping on the abortion issue on his radio show <http://www.glennbeck.com/2017/03/20/glenn-addresses-tomi-lahrens-pro-choice-stance-on-the-view/?platform=hootsuite>. He also argued against Lahren’s stance that pro-life conservatives are hypocrites. “I would disagree that you’re a hypocrite if you want limited government and yet you want the government to protect life of the unborn. It’s very, very clear. But it takes intellectual honesty, and it takes a willingness to actually think these things through and to do more than just read Twitter or Facebook to get your news and your political opinions. You actually have to study things — these things out in your mind. Especially at a time period like today,” Beck said. “Bomb throwing is — bomb throwing in today’s world is dangerous. Freedom of speech, it’s not free. Speech isn’t free. It comes with a very high price tag. First, being intellectually honest and intellectually curious. Speech is not free. It comes with another cost and usually to the other people at the other end of your argument. The pen is mightier than the sword, and it can destroy people if your aim is clicks, views, and ratings,” he continued. Do You Have A Favorable Or Unfavorable Opinion Of Tomi Lahren?

It remains unclear if Lahren’s suspension is directly related to her appearance on The View. Lahren, who is just 24, achieved national recognition for her political rants in a segment of her show called “Final Thoughts.” Those segments, which often tackled polarizing political issues like Black Lives Matter, regularly went viral on Facebook. Lahren did not immediately return an email from TheDC seeking comment. *This is a developing story.
