Tomi Lahren Went on Fox News and Claimed She's Never Seen a First Lady Criticized as Much as Melania, So Twitter Refreshed Her Memory

Tomi Lahren Went on Fox News and Claimed She's Never Seen a First Lady Criticized as Much as Melania, So Twitter Refreshed Her Memory

And she said it with a straight face.

Conservative commentator Tomi Lahren said she has "never seen a first lady be attacked like" First Lady Melania Trump in a Fox News interview on Wednesday, and was swiftly reminded on social media of numerous instances in which Michelle Obama was belittled by right-wing pundits.

Watch Lahren's questionable comments below:


"I have never seen a first lady be attacked like this, like Melania Trump has, for the good works and the good deeds that she has done," Lahren said Wednesday on Fox & Friends.

Lahren was complaining about a comment made by GOP strategist Ana Navarro, who said that Mrs. Trump had a "lack of self-awareness [and] any sense of shame" in her "Be Best" crusade against cyber-bullying - because her husband, President Donald Trump, is the world's most vocal Twitter antagonist.

Navarro joked that the first lady "suffered oxygen deprivation to the brain."

"Everything she [Navarro] said is exactly what I'm thinking about her," Lahren groaned. "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?"

Lahren added: "We'd be attacked up and down. But because it’s Melania, because her last name is Trump, people like Ana Navarro think it’s okay that they’re entitled to do that."

Oh, we can definitely imagine it, because it happened non-stop during Barack Obama's presidency, almost exclusively by right-wing talking heads on Fox News.

One Fox host said Mrs. Obama was fat.

There was that time Sean Hannity blasted Mrs. Obama for encouraging kids to go to college.

"The Western world is under constant threat from Islamic jihadists," Hannity griped, "but your first lady, Michelle Obama, is busy making a rap music video about going to college."

Lahren herself has gone after Obama.

Racist and sexist remarks have been hurled at the Obama family for years.

Rush Limbaugh in 2015: "It doesn't look like Michelle Obama follows her own nutritionary, dietary advice. And then we hear that she's out eating ribs at 1,500 calories a serving with 141 grams of fat per serving, yeah it does -- what do you mean, what do I mean?"

There was also former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who chastised Mrs. Obama's plan to help children eat healthily and to exercise. "The first lady cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children," Palin said, "for their own families in what we should eat."

But wait, there's more.

Fox host Keith Ablow said Mrs. Obama was fat.

Why can't Lahren imagine what she claims? Maybe she doesn't watch Fox News.

Or maybe Lahren, 26, was too young to remember the anti-Obama vitriol from the late 2000's.

CheatSheet noted some examples of right-wing attack lines on the former first lady, including:

  • Wearing designer clothes
  • For questioning female Trump voters
  • When Bill O'Reilly derided a speech Mrs. Obama gave on slavery

Slaves that worked there were well-fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government, which stopped hiring slave labor in 1802.

  • When Mrs. Obama said Republicans lacked diversity

Lahren may want to spend a little more time on YouTube. Be Best.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
