Fox’s Tomi Lahren thinks men in “red states” would prevent NYC women being randomly punched in the face on the streets.

Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren on Friday said she thinks men in “red states” would prevent New York City women being randomly punched in the face on the streets.

Videos of multiple NYC women describing being punched in the face went viral on TikTok this week. The NYPD have investigated the attacks and a suspect is in custody. Lahren referenced comments from a lawmaker asking where the men were to protect women.

“Where are the men and why are they not doing something or stepping in when they see young ladies being punched in the face or otherwise harassed?” Lahren said on Fox News' “Outnumbered.”Lahren also argued men that like Daniel Penny — who was charged for putting putting a man experiencing homelessness in a fatal chokehold on a New York City subway train last May — “might actually be the one that is punished instead of the ones that are going out and victimizing people.”

“That is the upside down reality of living in New York City or in a blue state,” Lahren said. “Not so in a red state. In a red state, this would not occur, and I can also tell you this: the men in red states would not allow this to occur if they were in the presence of this. You would feel more of a sense of protection being in a place like that.”
