TV show host banned permanently from The Blaze

A TV talk show host in the USA has been barred from the show for saying she supports selective abortion.

Tomi Lahren says she is pro-life

The Holywood Reporters states in a special report that Lahren was taken off the show for her pro-choice comments made on The View.

Lahren, hostess of Tomi on The Blaze, was suspended earlier this month for comments she made on a March 17, 2017, appearance on The View thus:

"I can't sit here and be a hypocrite and say I'm for limited government, but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies."

Lahren's comments were criticized widely by conservatives on the social media especially Twitter with the controversy intensifying the day after The View appearance when she sought to defend herself by tweeting:

"I have moderate, conservative, and libertarian views. I'm human. I will never apologize, to anyone, for being an independent thinker."

Th e tweet was said to have led to a public rebuke from The Blaze chief executive, Glenn Beck, who questioned Lahren's intellectual honesty on his radio show.

"I would disagree that you're a hypocrite if you want limited government and yet you want the government to protect the life of the unborn. It's very, very clear.

But it takes intellectual honesty, and it takes a willingness to actually think these things through and to do more than just read Twitter or Facebook to get your news and your political opinions," Beck had said.

It is understood that the firestorm elicited from Lahren's comments has led to her permanent ban and removal from the show.
