Tomi Lahren says 29-year-old Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez isn't "successful in real life"

[red dog 1]

Daily Kos
February 2, 2019


What can one say about Tomi Lahren that hasn't been used to terrify children around a campfire?
The right-wing, race-bating, thoroughly unimpressive Lahren was on "Fox & Friends" yesterday, discussing Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.

Lahren's claim to fame is that she's racist like someone from the 1800s but is only 26 years old.
Asked by one of the tweedle-dumb friends - who refuses to correctly pronounce "Ocasio" - about the "far-left, socialist" Ocasio-Cortez, Lahren had this to say:

"There's a difference between being successful on Twitter and social media platforms and actually being successful in real life."

That's webshow personality Tomi Lahren talking about Congresswoman-under-30-years-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
I might have forgotten to mention that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez represents a district in New York City, one of the largest and most important cities in the world.

Tomi Lahren spends most of her time tweeting about how watching men, women, and children get tear-gassed are highlights in her soulless black hole of a life.

1. Is Tomi a "successful" racist? eom

[red dog 1]

7. She's apparently not even a "successful" television host,

She hosted "Tomi" on "TheBlaze," in which she frequently criticized liberal politics.

She was "suspended" from TheBlaze in March, 2017.

41. Did you notice in the photo?

The aging skin under her eyes, the crease forming in her cheeks. I have seen that stuff in former coworkers who were later found to be narcotics users.

[ProudLib72]

43. I deliberately chose that picture because she isn't wearing makeup

She does not look good at all. It wouldn't surprise me a bit it she were on something (something stronger than MAGA koolaid).

45. That's a pre plastic surgery photo

17. I have no love for Tomi.

She is flat out wrong here.

However, calling her a blonde bimbo is sexist and an insult to those of us that are blonde. Duers can do better than this.

I see.

[sheshe2]

23. Well, Autumn...

I did in fact comment and said she was flat out wrong in what she said.

You however never commented to my post when you called blonde women bimbos which is in fact sexist to every blonde.

[Autumn]

24. Look around she, she's been called worse everywhere but you have a problem with my post.

Have a nice evening

[sheshe2]

25. Well.

I see you find it hilarious to call blondes bimbos.

Have a great night Autumn.

[Autumn]

29. Well she, Tomi Lahren is indeed a blonde, that's a fact and she is indeed an

attractive but unintelligent or frivolous young woman. You're the one who seems to think that transfers to all blonds.

In my opinion there are a millions of blondes who are intelligent young women who have done so much more than blogging, as Tomi Lehern does and

"tweeting about how watching men, women, and children get tear-gassed are highlights in her soulless black hole of a life."

sitting around trashing a young, beautiful, intelligent Latina Democratic Congresswoman.

[sheshe2]

32. "sitting around trashing a young, beautiful, intelligent Latina Democratic Congresswoman."

What does young and beautiful have to do with intelligence?

[Autumn]

62. It's the whole package she.

AOC is a young, beautiful, intelligent Latina Democratic Congresswoman.

[sheshe2]

63. You said you were done with me yesterday...

Here ya are back again. I am flattered by your attention.

[Autumn]

70. Well she, your comment on my post was worth an answer and I missed it till later.

Sorry I was late and kept you waiting.

AOC is the full package, a young, beautiful, intelligent Latina Democratic Congresswoman. Lahren on the other hand has had one achievement. Being a conservative toll who has done nothing but blog hate against Democrats but thinks she is better than a Dem Congresswoman. I find Lahren to be offensive and when she goes after a Democratic Latina Congresswoman I will respond with what I think of her. YMOV.
If you find my slams against a republican POS offensive you should ignore me because I will continue to do so. I figured with all the candidates announcing it would be a good time to clear out my ignore list a little. Maybe I was wrong. But take care.

[R B Garr]

64. So now it's blonde vs brunette divisiveness?

Really?

[sheshe2]

65. Umm.

[R B Garr]

66. Yeah, the divisiveness is off the charts

and for no reason. Why keep bringing up her background when no one else does. New York and California are very diverse states. Lots of brunettes... Now women’s hair color is divisive...?

[lapucelle]

28. "What about the others who call her derogatory names?" N/T

[sheshe2]

33. So she admits it is derogatory.

Broad brush to blonde women. Tomi is an ass, I whole heartily agree.

[Autumn]

36. Can you find the post where I said that? Because I didn't admit anything.

I hijacked a thread? This is a discussion board. I am discussing the topic of the OP.

Fact is calling any woman a bimbo is sexist bs.

13. SHE'S THE YOUNGEST WOMAN EVER ELECTED TO CONGRESS.

If that's NOT "successful in real life", I hope to have such non-success myself. Pfft.

Tomi Lahren is a blazing, brain-dead dingbat.

52. You stop right there w/all your facts and stuff.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria_Ocasio-Cortez

Early life
Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx, New York City, on October 13, 1989, to Blanca Ocasio-Cortez (née Cortez) and Sergio Ocasio in a Catholic family.[14][15] Her father was an architect born in the Bronx to a Puerto Rican family, while her mother is a native Puerto Rican.[16][17] Until age five, Ocasio-Cortez lived with her family in an apartment in the neighborhood of Parkchester.[17] The family then moved to a house in Yorktown Heights, a suburb in Westchester County.[17] Growing up, Ocasio-Cortez regularly visited her extended family in the Bronx.[18]

Ocasio-Cortez attended Yorktown High School, graduating in 2007,[19] where she won second prize in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair with a microbiology research project on the effect of antioxidants on the lifespan of the nematode C. elegans.[20] In a show of appreciation for her efforts, the International Astronomical Union named a small asteroid after her: 23238 Ocasio-Cortez.[21][22] In high school, she took part in the National Hispanic Institute's Lorenzo de Zavala (LDZ) Youth Legislative Session. She later became the LDZ Secretary of State while she attended Boston University. Ocasio-Cortez had a John F. Lopez Fellowship.[23] In 2008, while Ocasio-Cortez was a sophomore at Boston University, her father died of lung cancer.[24][25] During college, she served as an intern in the immigration office during the final year of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy's tenure.[26] "I was the only Spanish speaker, and as a result, as basically a kid—a 19-, 20-year-old kid—whenever a frantic call would come into the office because someone is looking for their husband because they have been snatched off the street by ICE, I was the one that had to pick up that phone," Ocasio-Cortez said. "I was the one that had to help that person navigate that system."[26]

She graduated cum laude from Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences in 2011, majoring in international relations and economics.[23][27][28]

Ocasio-Cortez has described her background as working-class, and relates many of her political positions to it. When her father died intestate in 2008,[29] she became involved in a long probate battle to settle his estate. She has said that the experience helped her learn "firsthand how attorneys appointed by the court to administer an estate can enrich themselves at the expense of the families struggling to make sense of the bureaucracy".[30]

Early career
After college, Ocasio-Cortez moved back to the Bronx, while she worked as a bartender in Manhattan and as a waitress in a taqueria. Her mother, meanwhile, cleaned houses and drove school buses. After her father's death, Ocasio-Cortez and her mother struggled to fight foreclosure of their home.[31][32] She launched Brook Avenue Press, a publishing firm for books that portray the Bronx in a positive light.[33] She worked as lead educational strategist at GAGEis, Inc.[34] Ocasio-Cortez also worked for the nonprofit National Hispanic Institute (NHI),[35] and served as NHI's Educational Director of the 2017 Northeast Collegiate World Series, a five-day long program targeted at college-bound high school students from across the United States and other countries, where she participated in a panel on Latino leadership.[23][36]

In the 2016 primary, Ocasio-Cortez worked as an organizer for Bernie Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign.[37] After the general election, she traveled across America by car, visiting places such as Flint, Michigan, and Standing Rock Indian reservation in North Dakota, and speaking to people affected by the Flint water crisis and the Dakota Access Pipeline.[38] In an interview she recalled her visit to Standing Rock as a tipping point, saying that before that, she had believed that the only way to effectively run for office was if you had access to wealth, social influence, and power. But her visit to North Dakota, where she saw others "putting their whole lives and everything that they had on the line for the protection of their community", inspired her to begin to work for her own community.[39]

14. Does getting oneself elected to Congress...

… and knocking out a powerful incumbent to do so not qualify as successful?
Seems like she's doing OK to me.

[GoCubsGo]

15. So, being a semi-attractive, opinionated bleach-blonde is more of an accomplishment

than getting elected to the United States Congress at age 29? Alrighty then.

I'm STILL waiting for someone to explain to me why anyone should give a rat's ass what this brain-dead dipshit says. What has SHE ever done?

[red dog 1]

46. The fact is that many millions of Trump-supporters do "give a rat's ass"

what this brain-dead dipshit says, and that is scary, imo.

Also, note that this was a Daily Kos BLOG post.

(I posted it because I thought it was a good blog post)

[GoCubsGo]

49. Yes. I know they care.

But, as I asked, WHY do they care? I have asked this question over and over again. What has this woman ever done to earn the respect that her opinions hold? I have never gotten any sort of answer to that. It's not like she ran a presidential campaign, like Nicole Wallace, or went to law school and became an actual party strategist, like Ana Navarro.

[red dog 1]

53. They care because they are dumb, Fox News watching Trump-lovers.

Everything they see on Fox News is fake news, but they eat it up anyway

They see her as a smart, attractive, conservative pundit.

(To THEM she is smart)

[Turbineguy]

16. Is that anything like the difference

in being on Fox News and a real TV station?

[treestar]

19. Congress isn't "real life?"

Does she think it is a TV show?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

22. So getting elected to congress isn't success?

It's more than Nazi party doll Lahren has ever done with her life.

[NoMoreRepugs]

26. tami vs AOC as a "success".......hmmmmm

Radio Shack part timer vs Bill Gates?

[PeeJ52]

27. Who's this Tomi Lahren guy?

[Blue_true]

42. Tomi Lahren is a loud mouthed young woman.

She has an opinion (always uninformed) on everything and was idiotic enough to put a pistol in the waistband of her yoga tights.

[red dog 1]

47. Did she really do that?

[Blue_true]

59. Yes she did, don't know if it was loaded or not. I am guessing not. nt

[Ferrets are Cool]

30. The more the right hates her, the more I LOVE her.

Wear it as a badge of honor Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez.

[mercuryblues]

31. Let's compare wiki pages, tomi, Shall we

Tomi: Graduated Central High School in Rapid City, SD.

AOC.

AOC

During college, she served as an intern in the immigration office during the final year of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy's tenure.[26] "I was the only Spanish speaker, and as a result, as basically a kid—a 19-, 20-year-old kid—whenever a frantic call would come into the office because someone is looking for their husband because they have been snatched off the street by ICE, I was the one that had to pick up that phone," Ocasio-Cortez said. "I was the one that had to help that person navigate that system."

[red dog 1]

48. Thanks for that

The contrast between the two women is remarkable!

I like Rep. Ocasio-Cortez more & more every day.

[Takket]

37. Tomi literally described herself and why no one should take her seriously lol

[Initech]

44. Tomi Lahren is a horrible, obnoxious POS.

Who only got successful by saying what other horrible, oboxious pieces of shit want to hear.

[crazycatlady]

50. So a six figure job before your 30th birthday isn't successful?

[red dog 1]

51. Not according to Lahren, apparently.

She's a stupid, Trump-loving bimbo!

[Salviati]

55. Is tammy still on her parents insurance?

Or has she found a real job since being fired from her wingnut welfare position?

[red dog 1]

58. It's Tomi

According to Wikipedia:
"In August, 2017, Lahren joined Fox News as a 'contributor'"

God only knows how much Fox News is paying her to be a "contributor"

She supports fracking and "denied climate change"

Look for her to be appointed by Trump for some useless White House job.

[Baltimike]

61. It's "Great Value Barbie" nt

[IADEMO2004]

56. Tomi isn't a successful first name when attached to Lahren.
