Tomi Lahren Says Migrant Children Getting Tear-Gassed Was The ‘Highlight of Her Thanksgiving Weekend’

Fox News host Tomi Lahren is known for her outrageous and often divisive statements. She backed Donald Trump on his “sh**hole” countries comment, refuses to understand why NFL players kneel during the national anthem, and blames feminists for political harassment.

She’s also well known for being contrarian and producing endless hot takes, if not being outright racist, xenophobic, and misogynistic.

But Tomi’s latest tweet, well, it’s truly revolting.

“Bum-rushing the border is a CHOICE and has consequences. Watching the USA FINALLY defend our borders was the HIGHLIGHT of my Thanksgiving weekend.”

Lahren made the remarks on Twitter after United States Border Patrol agents reportedly fired tear gas at migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border on Sunday. CNN reported that around 500 migrants tried to cross the border before tear gas was used to disperse them. While a large number of people approached the border peacefully, some threw rocks and bottles, according to the Washington Post, resulting in the closure of the port of entry in San Ysidro, California.

The tweet from the Fox News host didn’t sit well with people online, with many pointing out that the crisis at the border was an odd choice to be the “highlight” of anyone’s Thanksgiving.
