Several weeks ago Tomi Lahren, host of a popular television show on TheBlaze, angered millions of conservatives across the country after seeming to attack pro-lifers as hypocrites.
Lahren appeared as a guest on the liberal television show The View and said it was hypocritical for her to be conservative and pro-life because she’s for “limited government, so stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well.”
Lahren’s attack on pro-life conservatives did not sit well with her boss Glenn Beck, and she was promptly suspended from her show on TheBlaze. But now, a new report reveals that the controversial host has been “banned permanently” from the network.
From Page Six:
Tomi Lahren won’t be appearing on Glenn Beck’s multiplatform network, TheBlaze, anymore.
Sources say Lahren — who was suspended last week after flip-flopping on abortion and declaring herself pro-choice — has been banned permanently.
“Glenn is reminding the world of his conservative principles by sidelining Tomi after she insulted conservatives by calling them hypocrites,” one Beck insider told me.
Fans think Beck — once a big Ted Cruz backer — has lost his conservative bona fides. He went on Samantha Bee’s TBS show in December and apologized for being divisive in the past.
“He’s trying to balance being a leading conservative thinker and also someone who can unify the country,” the Beck associate told me. “He just couldn’t sit by and watch as Tomi Lahren said there’s no way for conservatives to justify anything other than being pro-choice.”
Following the report, people took to Twitter to express their reaction:
hey @TomiLahren… congratulations … you played yourself ..

I can’t believe Tomi Lahren got permanently suspended from her job. Now she’s one of those “unemployed millennials” she complains about pic.twitter.com/CnuUct9Sap

Don’t understand those criticizing @glennbeck for how he handled @TomiLahren. She misrepresented her views and called pro-lifers hypocrites.

Lahren’s suspension, and possible permanent ban, from TheBlaze shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given that the majority of her paying audience holds very strong pro-life views. It’s not that Lahren came out and admitted she supported abortion rights, it’s the total contempt she showed towards pro-life Americans, not to mention that just months ago she referred to abortion as murder.
Lahren’s flip-flop on abortion, which is a key issue to millions of conservatives, shows the importance of having true principles on the issues that matter most.
