Biography Flash: Tomi Lahren's Puerto Rico Gaffe and Biden Admin Censorship Claims Spark Viral Backlash
About this Episode
Tomi Lahren Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Tomi Lahren has found herself at the center of multiple controversies and public discussions over the past week. The Fox News host and conservative commentator sparked viral backlash after appearing to forget that Puerto Rico is part of the United States during the September thirtieth episode of her podcast, Tomi Lahren is Fearless. While discussing Bad Bunny's selection as the Super Bowl halftime performer with liberal commentator Krystal Ball, Lahren claimed the Puerto Rican artist was not an American artist. Ball quickly corrected her, stating that Puerto Ricans are part of America, to which Lahren responded with a sarcastic yeah before continuing her criticism.
The Independent reports that commenters flooded her YouTube channel, with one writing they initially thought the clip was edited to make Lahren look foolish but realized she genuinely didn't know Puerto Ricans are US citizens. The Grio notes that Lahren's slip-up reminded many that even in twenty twenty-five, people still don't understand basic civics about US territories. The controversy comes amid broader conservative backlash against Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, with Lahren particularly taking issue with the artist singing primarily in Spanish.
Just days later, on October eleventh, Lahren appeared on Fox Business's The Bottom Line where she opened up about being censored online during the Biden administration. Fox Business reports she revealed that the administration personally asked Facebook to reduce her platform during COVID after she posted about her personal decision not to get vaccinated. She called out social media companies for not having the intestinal fortitude to push back against government pressure.
Lahren also weighed in on Virginia Democratic Attorney General candidate Jay Jones, who faced scrutiny over violent text messages. During the same Fox Business appearance, she criticized Democrats for not having the moral decency to demand his withdrawal from the race, particularly noting the irony given the left invented cancel culture.
