Fox News commentator Tomi Lahren should be used to being torched by the media and Americans by now, as the conservative pundit frequently makes tone deaf, racist and sexist statements that clearly show that she is oblivious to her white privilege and the world around her.
Struggling to remain relevant after being fired from The Blaze for her offensive comments on abortion, Lahren decided to strike up some controversy today by insulting our last real First Lady, Michelle Obama. It didn’t take long before she realized what a big mistake that was.
Upset that Michelle had called her husband Barack a great president (a statement that the majority of Americans would agree with), Lahren told the former First Lady to “sit down.” She tweeted:
Michelle Obama said we ‘had’ a great president. By what measure? Not in economic growth. Not in border enforcement. Not in strength on the world stage. Sit down, Michelle.”

Wow. Lahren is obviously terrified of the Obamas and the strength that they represent, and lashed out after being spooked by Michelle’s speech from a Las Vegas “When We All Vote” rally. Michelle said:
Here’s what we have to do. If we want qualified people that we trust, then people have to vote. Because you can’t vote some of the time and then sit out. You know, we saw that happen. We experienced that. But we had a great president. But every couple years folks sat out and said ‘well, I did my part, I voted once, I’m done, I’m out.’ And I’m just telling you that democracy doesn’t work that way.”
Lahren knows that if Americans listen to Michelle, the GOP is doomed. Unfortunately, her pathetic attempt to insult the former First Lady fell flat and she was immediately trashed for it, as she should be.

You sit down. Pres. Obama created an environment for NEGATIVE immigration. #Facts. The economy? Perhaps you don’t remember the economy Obama inherited, do you? The Great Recession? He saved the auto industry. #Facts. Record stock market numbers during his 8 years. #Facts. Jobs.
