There’s more where that came from. Tomi Lahren, who faced off with Trevor Noah on The Daily Show Wednesday, November 30, had a few additional thoughts about the heated political debate that quickly went viral.
“I had the guts to walk into the lion’s den. Consider your bubble burst,” The Blaze’s 24-year-old conservative host wrote on Facebook Monday, December 5, along with a “Final Thoughts With Tomi” video in which she called herself Democrats’ “worst nightmare.” Watch the full video below.
“Now, The Daily Show wasn’t the first time I’ve experienced the hypocrisy of the left or the mainstream media,” the South Dakota native said in the clip. “I walked onto The Daily Show knowing there wouldn’t be a single conservative or supporter in the crowd, but I had the balls to walk into that situation and didn’t flinch.”
Addressing South African–born host Noah, 32, who grilled her about what she meant when she wrote (in a since-deleted tweet) that Black Lives Matter is “the new KKK,” Lahren continued: “If Trevor Noah appeared in front of a conservative audience and was booed and jeered, what do you think the mainstream would label those folks? Racists? Bigots? Deplorables? Take your pick.”
In the intense interview on his Comedy Central show, Noah also pressed Dallas-based Lahren about her criticisms of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The Dallas-based conservative has slammed Kaepernick, 29, for taking a knee during the national anthem in protest of police brutality against African Americans.
“How should a black person bring up their grievances?” Noah asked after Lahren criticized the football star’s chosen method of protest. “If that’s not the right way, if marching isn’t the right way, what is the right way?” While Lahren never directly answered the question by offering a solution, she did declare: “I don’t protest because I’m not a victim. I choose not to victimize myself.”
Lahren, a passionate supporter of Republican President-Elect Donald Trump, ended her video with a fierce statement that her opponents haven’t seen the last of her. “I am your worst nightmare,” the 2014 University of Nevada Las Vegas graduate insisted. “I don’t care what you label me or how many times you come for me. I’m fearless and I’m just getting started.”
