Conservative commentator for The Blaze network, 24-year-old Tomi Lahren, has been pissing people off all over the internet. Last night, she was on the Daily Show and got owned by Trevor Noah.
They had a nearly 30-minute interview during which they discussed various topics.
On the topic of P***ygate, Lahren tweeted on that day that she supported Mike Pence. Noah asked her about that, and she said:
“What I did say is, ‘I support my candidate, I support his vice president. That’s a calming way for me to address the ‘Never Trumpers.'”
Noah said:
“You didn’t say you support your candidate. You said you support Mike Pence.”
One bit that got to me was when Trevor asked if she is a conservative. Then, Lahren said:
“I am. I’m a millennial, so I don’t like labels. But I’m a conservative in thought.”
Trevor’s amusement at this comment seemed to go over her head.
When talking about Black Lives Matter, she said:
“I wish that we could disagree with each other without thinking that we are bad people or ill-intentioned folks. So because I criticize a black person or I criticize the Black Lives Matter movement, that doesn’t mean I’m anti-black. It does not mean that I don’t like black people or that I am a racist, it means I’m criticizing a movement.”
She left Trevor Noah almost speechless when she compared Black Lives Matter to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). She actually asked what the KKK has done.
This just made me like Trevor Noah even more. She was not the most challenging guest for him to pick, but it was definitely a great episode.
Noah had one great dig at her that had me almost choking on my coffee. She said she doesn’t see color, and he asked what she does at a traffic light.
Here is the entire extended interview between the two:
