Tomi Lahren of Fox News fame is largely recognized as a mouthpiece for anything from conservative to alt-right to White supremacist talking points. The Fox Nation host also frequently steps in it on Twitter.
Lahren has been called out numerous times for hypocritical declarations about Black and brown skinned people. Now she's done it again.
<p>On Tuesday, Lahren posted:</p><blockquote>"If you traipse your kid 2,000 miles in dangerous conditions you're not only a criminal, you're a shi**y parent."</blockquote><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yMjA0NDcxMS9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYyNDc1Nzk5NH0.dDryzMVbAvfCkCIjQfxHcnSwKalRsngkNuX4PMRuc1o/img.jpg?width=980" id="a476f" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="78866893b49f550181180808396d7bfd" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image"><small class="image-media media-caption" placeholder="add caption...">@Tomi_Lahren/Twitter</small></p><p>If 2,000 miles is criminal, what is 3,220 miles?
