Tomi Lahren Apologizes After Tweeting Fake Black Lives Matter Flier That Declared White People 'the Enemy'

As protests against the murder of unarmed Black people by police continue across the nation, far-Right commentator Tomi Lahren issued a rare apology after sharing a flier falsely attributed to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Lahren has been vocally against the Black Lives Matter movement and similar ideologies for years, referring to Black protesters as "thugs" and likening Black Lives Matter to the Ku Klux Klan.


The flier Lahren tweeted claimed that Black Lives Matter endorses hatred against White people, calls "White men, women, and children" the enemy, and advocates for "more White homicides than Black."

After deleting her original tweet which treated the flier as fact, Lahren apologized and claimed she was "sincerely glad" the flier wasn't in any way endorsed by BLM or representative of the organization's platform.

A simple search of the fact-checking website Snopes would have revealed to Lahren that the flier was debunked two weeks ago.

According to Snopes, the earliest postings of this flier originate with far-Right accounts:

"It isn't clear who created this fake poster. The earliest posting that we could find was from June 11, 2020, from a Qanon Twitter account, a wide-ranging and far-right conspiracy theory based almost entirely on anonymous social media posts that claim a 'deep state' plot exists against President Donald Trump. From there, it was shared to the Russian site Aftershock.news; an All Lives Matter account; and an account adorned with British flags, where it received thousands of retweets."

What's more, the flier directly contradicts the official platform and demands of Black Lives Matter:

In addition to the fact that this flyer originated with posters critical of BLM — and not with BLM accounts spreading this message in earnest — the statements on this flyer are also contrary to the positions of the Black Lives Matter movement. Nowhere on the Black Lives Matter website are white people identified as "enemies," and the website is void of any calls to violence against white people.

Despite her apology, Lahren still insists that she heard that a friend of her friend found the flier in her mailbox.

Lahren is a frequent critic of the media and constantly echoes derisions from President Donald Trump dismissing journalists as promulgators of "fake news."

But people soon pointed out that Lahren was the one tweeting unverified, and proven fake, "news."




The claim that she'd heard from a friend that their friend received it in her mailbox didn't help either.






Lahren's views on Black Lives Matter aren't expected to change.

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.
