Tomi Lahren FLip Flops on Abortion, Suspended at BLAZE

Conservative media pundit Tomi Lahren was suspended from TheBlaze Monday following massive fallout over pro-choice comments she made during an appearance on “The View” Friday night.

“Tomi’s show will not be in production this week,” Leon Wolf, managing editor of TheBlaze, told CNN Monday.

Lahren ignited a firestorm of controversy Friday by seeming to totally reverse her previous public position on abortion.

“I’m pro-choice and here is why. I am a constitutional [sic], you know, someone that loves the Constitution,” Lahren told the liberal ladies on “The View.”

“I am someone that is for limited government, so 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,” said Lahren. “Stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well,” she continued.

The backlash was swift, and even Glenn Beck, the founder of TheBlaze, wasted little time in distancing himself from Lahren.

"Rule another label out. I am NOT a 'constitutional'. I believe in LIFE, liberty and property. Just an old fashioned 'constitutionalist,'" Beck tweeted shortly after the show aired.

Matt Walsh, columnist for TheBlaze and one of Lahren's coworkers, was merciless. "I can't and won't speculate as to why she went on 'The View' this past Friday, suddenly reversed course on abortion, declared herself to be 'pro-choice,' and basked in the patronizing applause from the liberal audience and the radical feminists at the table," Walsh wrote Monday.

"All I know is that just a few months ago she was describing abortion as the 'murder' of 'babies,' but when given the spotlight on a mainstream network, she eagerly rattled off a series of inane, half-baked Planned Parenthood talking points, while Joy Behar nodded approvingly," Walsh continued.

Walsh, like many other conservatives, took particular issue with how Lahren not only came out as pro-choice, but went after pro-life conservatives as "hypocrites."

"Tomi, who has repeatedly blasted liberals for believing that the unborn have no rights, has now decided that actually the unborn really don't have any rights, and anyone who believes otherwise (anyone who believes as she professed to believe about 14 seconds ago) is a hypocrite and a hater," he wrote.

She's been on a 'meteoric rise' for some time now. Her videos are the most watched on Facebook and she is a regular guest on most nightly news programs. She's been on the Daily Show which was huge in the media because of the controversy it stirred.

If you've never heard/seen her, you've been living under a rock or you don't watch internet news or cable news. lol

I don't watch any cable news. I don't even have cable.

I had no idea who this was. Seems like a typical attention whore.

Right there with you, never heard of her.......

[sparebulb]

She is the new Meghan McCain/Kelly.

Insert new blond info-agent here....

Just like replacing a tampon.

Boobus loves her.

So this Bimbo says get government out of the abortion business and now she's a pariah?

“Stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well,”

This is a pro-life statement?

I think the problem is her pro second amendment stance.

Good for her, she can leave The Blaze.

I wasn't aware that Beck had made a hardcore neocon from RedState his managing editor. Figures. Pastor Beck has always surrounded himself with neocons.

I doubt that people like this possess any core values.

She is obviously making her play by going on the View and "mainstreaming" her views.

Her "punishment" by Glenn Beck is most likely just Glenn boosting her career to the next level.

Look at her bio.

She, like BarryO, has never had a real job in her life.

So much life experience at 24.

She's just using the playbook of older media personalities who are even more corrupt. The core values argument is neither here or there as everybody on TV or in politics is full of it. It is quite an accomplishment to realize this at such an early age.

She's no heroine. I have not really seen any of her work, but the Facebook libertarian crowd was mocking her before this happened. From what I gather, she is a former prog who discovered parroting the right's talking points pays better than the left's currently does.

[TruthBTold]

She does ok with a teleprompter but when she's out in public appearances her mouth is her own worst enemy.

She didn't get that round mouth from eating square meals.

[TruthBTold]

I think the "bimbo" name calling is a bit extreme. I need to have at least 40 to 50 sexual interactions with her before I can determine if shes a bimbo or not.

Wait. who? She appears to be some generic airhead that will quickly be forgotten; but what do I know, I don't watch the idiotbox.

Al the stupid trump supporters have been sharing her videos like she was a god on facebook. Suckers.

Let's see. The government should tell you how to use your guns or what you can do to your baby. So.....if a mother kills her baby with a 9 mm?

Earth to Tomi Lahren, the 2nd amendment is in the constitution. Baby killing is not.

LOL. Her current position on abortion is what Trump's used to be before he decided to run for president and may be again if he gets re-elected.

Ummmmm......getting the government out of the abortion business = defunding Planned Parenthood. That's not what she said.

[jmdrake]

Right there with you, never heard of her.......

She made (something) of a name for herself "debating" the black guy from South Africa who took over for John Stewart on The Daily Show regarding Black Lives Matter.

I didn't read anything about defunding anything, but "get government out of my body" isn't something I'll argue against..

But I'm all for getting government out of lots of stuff including planned parenthood and her body, yours too, and mine for that matter....

[RonPaulMall]

Her argument is poor. I'm as pro-abortion as anybody. Abortion targets criminals, Leftists, and other assorted scum and God knows what this country would look like right now if not for the eugenic benefit of millions of aborted undesirables. But pro-life people are not "hypocrites". Their argument is that fetuses are people and should therefore be covered under murder laws. Since nearly all libertarians except for true anarcho capitalists believe in murder laws, there is no hypocrisy. Just a dispute over whether a fetus is a "person" or not.
