Tomi Lahren Gets All Worked Up While Bashing Jay-Z for Speaking Out Against ‘Ugly Side’ of America   

Posted byBy Tia Berger | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Fox News host Tomi Lahren seemed to be quite bothered by hip-hop magnate Jay-Z who said President Trump was bringing out an “ugly side” of America in an interview with David Letterman.

The statement, made on Letterman’s on Netflix special “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction,” angered many conservative Fox viewers along with the controversial host Lahren. She noted that the “Empire State of Mind” artist was to blame for inflated mass incarceration rates for Blacks instead of Trump because Jay-Z endorsed former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

“Jay-Z, it’s pretty ironic that you think Donald Trump is a racist when you campaigned for Hillary Clinton!,” she exclaimed. “Remember that? That would be Hillary Clinton, the woman who called young black Americans ‘super predators.’ The one who stood by Bill when signed the $30 billion crime bill that imposed the death penalty on dozens more crimes and mandated life sentences for three-time offenders.”

Nevertheless, the Fox News host failed to realize that Trump proposed a similar idea to the 1994 bipartisan crime bill calling for tougher laws and has called for the death penalty for drug dealers.

Lahren then claimed that Trump has done more for America than former president Barack Obama and accused Jay-Z of “made-up racism” and stirring up “resentment in minority communities.”

She then fumed, “The President Is Winning and You Can’t Stand It!”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
