Fox News Contributor Tomi Lahren Criticized For Dig At John McCain
Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren is drawing online heat for a Friday zinger at Sen. John McCain on the day he announced he was suspending brain cancer treatments.
Speaking at an Arizona rally for Republican Senate candidate Kelli Ward, Lahren referred to McCain as a RINO (Republican In Name Only), a slight that indicates less-than-conservative positions on certain key issues.
Addressing Ward supporters, Lahren reportedly said, “We can’t put up another RINO like McCain and Flake,” the latter referring to Arizona’s other Senator, Jeff Flake.
Lahren was slammed by some social media posters for her comment about McCain on the day he indicated he was giving up the fight for life.
Y’all are sick. @SenJohnMcCain is dying. On a day where the man’s family @cindymccain@MeghanMcCain announced he is declining further cancer treatment, @kelliwardaz doesn’t even have the decency to respect that. Yes, YOU are a deplorable. And so is @kelliwardaz and @TomiLahren. https://t.co/HaMSgWN4oZ

I have coffee once a wk for 10+yrs w/ Sen McCain’s mother so I may be too close to this but @FoxNews needs to address this-you can disagree without being cruel and her timing is cruel;also maybe some older anchors have set a bad example for her ? https://t.co/xUGZ05wecP
