They're not wrong.

Conservative talk show host Tomi Lahren, known for her extreme right-wing rhetoric, got roasted by Trevor Noah on The Daily Show Thursday night.


The Daily Show claimed that Lahren is a crisis actor pretending to be a victim on Fox News. The segment, which launched the hashtag #TammyMustGo, demanded that Fox News "pull this crisis actor off the air."

Using her own words against her, The Daily Show's blurb began with: "CRISIS ACTOR EXPOSED. Right now, a MAINSTREAM MEDIA ORGANIZATION is paying a young person to POSE AS A VICTIM ON TV."

You have to admit Lahren plays the victim effortlessly and convincingly. She remarks, "I'm so tired of listening to these leftists dismiss and attack Christians and Christianity." She also accused liberals of "looking down on gun owners as if we're just a bunch of rednecks."

The not-necessarily-untrue claim that Lahren "is being COACHED to recite HIGHLY SCRIPTED talking points" is a riff on conspiracy theories about survivors of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, which are circulating through right-wing media outlets and social media. These offensive claims are baseless and have resulted in victims and their families getting death threats.

Following the shooting, an outcry for gun control resounded throughout the country, and Lahren accused liberals of exploiting tragedy for political gain.

Survivors slammed her for it.


Naturally, fans of The Daily Show and Trevor Noah, whom #TheFutureIsFemale described as "so naughty," really enjoyed the analysis.

For sure, wrongwayray. "Paid to be a troll" is a nice summation.

The Daily Show makes a compelling case. Lahren claims people on the right are afraid be "be themselves," and she likes to repeat "something something... emails, something something... Benghazi." She plays the victim rather well, even though she isn't one. At all. Ever.

So maybe she is a paid crisis actor? She tends to show up and go on mindless tirades whenever liberals do anything. Or whenever conservatives do anything that she assumes liberals won't like. But does she really believe it?

Good point, Nathan Royal. Apparently Lahren is "a fictional character made up to provide comic relief and inspire satire." Because that's exactly what's happening here.

The hashtag gained some traction on Twitter.

The Daily Show video ended with a demand for Fox News to "pull this CRISIS ACTOR off the air." Mhmmm.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
