Tomi Lahren: Lesbian soccer pro should be grateful America doesn’t throw gay people off buildings.

NOT the Onion Dept:

Rapinoe, in case you haven’t been following, decided to kneel during the national anthem this week in solidarity with Kaepernick, while also saying that “we need to have a more thoughtful, two-sided conversation about racial issues in this country.”

This really set off Lahren, who posted a video fuming about how ungrateful Rapinoe is to live in a country where gay people aren’t torn apart by angry mobs.

“You look at that flag and you hear that anthem, and it disgusts you, huh? Because the United States of America doesn’t respect your liberties as a gay person?” she asked rhetorically. “Hey Megan, do you know what they do to women and gay people in many countries around the world? They stone them and throw them off buildings!”

Yes, that’s right: Taking a stand against police brutality in the United States is an ungrateful act because the cops could be throwing you off buildings instead.


"It's either 'put up with our hatred' or 'get thrown off a building'".

I wonder if he knows that there might be one or two other lesbians on the US soccer team.

that crimes like this take place in "all of the Muslim countries", which of course makes America great and how dare they ever think about standing up for their rights! When they go on rants like this, they only prove that deep down, they fantasize about killing everyone that's different from them.

Raw Story didn't even bother, which shows their standards are now fairly sloppy. The video excerpt does have "theblaze" on it, so there was the clue; she's worked for a few months at a not-very-available wannabe Fox News, and before that, she worked for a few months at an even more obscure Fox News wannabe.

So, no one who has achieved anything, done a notable job, or contributes to the world in any way. I mean, at least Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh built up their own brands over years; she's just an new employee in a small operation.
