Tomi Lahren has had A LOT to say about Colin Kaepernick in the past. She most notably took issue with the fact that he didn’t stand during the national anthem. She also basically called him a good-for-nothing-entitled athlete and insinuated that he didn’t do anything to give back to him community. You know, because this is America and peacefully utilizing your right to protest isn’t OK in Tomi’s America. In Lahren’s America, it’s OK for her to spew hatred to a national audience and publicly berate anyone with an opposing viewpoint, but Kaepernick can’t express his opinion, because it’s different than hers.
Here’s some of what she had to say…
This week, Lahren got a taste of her own medicine. She went on the view and stated that she was “pro-choice” for which, he freedom of speech suppressing employer, “The Blaze” promptly suspended her. You know, because she had a different opinion than them. It sucks when the shoe is on the other foot, doesn’t it, Snowflake?
The two times I’ve seen Lahren challenged, outside of her bubble, were on the View and Politically incorrect and she didn’t handle it well. She couldn’t hold her own. She folded. Why? Because she’s just a talking head. She reads a teleprompter and just says what she’s told. She has no original thoughts. She has no opinions of her own. Which, makes he the worst kind of person, in my opinion.
Now, I’m all for Lahren having the right to believe whatever she wants. But, the problem is that she’s had many rants (and appeared in a commercial) that are very clearly anti-pro-choice. She just said what she thought was needed to appease the audience she was playing to. That’s how she’s been conditioned, trained and programed. So, she has zero credibility left.
Colin Kaepernick on the other hand…

ABS.com: “The free-agent quarterback is one of many celebrities who came together to push the Twitter campaign #TurkishAirlinesHelpSomalia that spurred a $2 million GoFundMe fundraiser forward. The “Love Army for Somalia” campaign was created in part by Internet stars including YouTube’s Casey Neistat and Snapchat’s Jérôme Jarre, who confirmed Turkish Airlines promised to send Somalia staples like rice, porridge and nutritional biscuits through the end of the famine.
“This is a victory for the people, this is a victory for the people of Somalia,” Kaepernick says. “It was done out of love, out of respect for these people. We wanted to bring structure to this so we’re going to use the name Love Army for Somalia. So use the #LoveArmyforSomalia. This is amazing, let’s keep building, let’s keep going.”
He’s just out here spurring people to donate millions of dollars and securing a plane to deliver supplies to starving people in Somalia.
Shoot… what now Tomi?
Oh, WHAT?! He’s also donating to Standing Rock AND Meals on Wheels too?
NinersNation.com: Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is back with his latest round of donations. Kaepernick has been donating $100,000 per month since last October, on his way to donating $1 million in total over the course of a year. According to Ian Rapoport, the next round of $100,000 will be split evenly between Meals on Wheels and Love Army for Somalia.
Kaepernick has been focusing primarily on community charities around the country, but the last couple months we have seen him hit up some more high profile situations. For example, in December, he donated to a UCSF group helping out at Standing Rock.
His $50,000 donation to Meals on Wheels comes amidst reports that Donald Trump’s first budget as president will include cuts to grant programs that help fund Meals on Wheels. The program does not receive direct government funding, but some of their funding comes from community development block grants. The initial budget proposal is looking to eliminate that. Additionally, the Department of Health and Human Services is looking at a 16 percent cut across the board, which could impact Meals on Wheels.
Colin Kaepernick > Tomi Lahren.
Not a good look when you’re the one tweeting out #TeamTomi… right?
