It’s a never-ending cycle. Donald Trump says something offensive, and those on the left express shock and outrage while the right scrambles to defend his latest gaffe. Even after Trump’s “sh*thole” remarks made during a bipartisan immigration meeting on Thursday, which many are calling a new low for the president, Fox News personalities like Tucker Carlson and Jesse Watters didn’t seem to see what the big deal was. Likewise, Toyota Lasagna — err, Tomi Lahren managed to find something to say in support of the President of the United States calling other countries “sh*tholes,” in one very bad tweet.
“If they aren’t sh*thole countries, why don’t their citizens stay there? Let’s be honest. Call it like it is,” Lahren tweeted early Friday morning — proving that her Twitter feed is still where decency and common sense goes to die.
If they aren’t shithole countries, why don’t their citizens stay there? Let’s be honest. Call it like it is.

Of course, her “argument,” if you can even call it that, is problematic for a number of reasons, as many pointed out on Twitter (or just bashed her in general):
Countries don’t immigrate, people do. The quality of a person isn’t determined by their surroundings. The point is that he complained that we are getting black and brown immigrants, not white ones. That makes him a racist, and that’s a bad thing to be. Call it like it is. https://t.co/CD0811ISe4

Hey Tomi, Washington Post shithole bureau chief here. Love your foreign affairs reporting. Did you know there are 8.7 million Americans living overseas? Can’t imagine why they would leave home. https://t.co/Vazd6Ts3Pe

Right?! The same way your great great-grandfather should have stayed in his country, but instead he FAKED his documents: https://t.co/h5TjPf3D62

According to US Census records, Tomi, every year 2900 people leave your home state of South Dakota to move to California and only 1300 move the other way.
By your own logic… you are from a shithole state. Should we keep you there?https://t.co/Fe4DeayqmB

Okay, do let’s call it like it is:
Tomi Lahren is a racist. https://t.co/3o5uqXM5ln

No matter how many times Lahren causes backlash and gets owned on Twitter, it only seems to add fuel to her fire. Recently, the former Blaze host came under fire for attacking Colin Kaepernick and Beyoncé, but she has clearly has not learned her lesson.
