Viraldice: Tomi Lahren’s Hypocritical Halloween Costume Has People Outraged

omi Lahren is the walking, talking definition of a rabble-rouser - a person who knows what buttons to push to get people outraged. It's a skill she perfected on her now-canceled show Tomi, during which she would do three-minute "final thoughts" segments that were mainly just rants against the liberal media and whatever other topic that had earned her ire. Love her or hate her, Lahren has perfected the art of inflaming people, and she did so again this weekend with her Halloween costume.

On Saturday, Lahren debuted a new look on Instagram.

There was a flag cape, what looked like a blue #MAGA swimsuit, a red tutu, and a flag fanny pack to complete the entire ensemble.

It was, in a word – inflammatory.

Fashion faux-pas aside (girl, nooo to that fanny pack), the entire outfit was calculated to stir outrage and to get people talking.

And get people talking it did.

The tweet had 129.7k likes and nearly 8,000 comments – many of them not flattering. When Ryan Fournier, a conservative spokesperson, retweeted the image on Twitter, the Twittersphere exploded as well.

After all, Lahren is the same Fox News commenter who went on the air to discuss the protesting NFL players and said, "I would like to ask these players: What exactly are you kneeling for?"

This, of course, was in reference to the football protests against police brutality, which Lahren disingenuously conflated with protests against the flag.

 

In fact, Lahren has had several controversial (read: racist) positions over the years.

Today NFL social justice warriors will kneel to acknowledge gang violence. Oh wait, wouldn’t want to acknowledge or protest that. Got it.

She called Black Lives Matter the “new KKK” and said that Beyoncé’s “Formation” performance at the Super Bowl halftime show was “a way to politicize and advance the notion that black lives matter more.”

Wait, what?!

But that wasn’t the end of it…
