3:38Now PlayingTomi Lahren HIRED BY FOX NEWS To Work For Sean Hannity As A Contributor - TOMI LAHREN IS BACK *WHY?*
Conservative firebrand Tomi Lahren joins Fox News as contributor. Lahren will provide political commentary on Fox News' conservative opinion shows, primarily Sean Hannity's primetime program, Fox News said in a release announcing the news on Wednesday.
Lahren will also have a "signature role" on a digital product currently being developed, Fox News said. Details about that product were not immediately available. Fox News is bringing on conservative firebrand and fervent Trump supporter Tomi Lahren as a political contributor.
"I am blessed and honored to join the Fox News team," Lahren wrote in a Facebook post. "This exciting new step will allow me to give voice to all the America-loving patriots who have had my back since day one."
Prior to joining Fox News, Lahren worked as a host at the conservative One America News Network. She then joined, and really made her name at, TheBlaze, a digital news outlet founded by conservative personality and former Fox News host Glenn Beck.
While she was at TheBlaze, several of Lahren's signature "Final Thoughts" segments -- short bombastic monologues -- went viral and ignited controversy. Lahren also came under widespread criticism when she compared Black Lives Matter to the KKK, an episode that culminated in a debate on "The Daily Show" with Trevor Noah.
Lahren left TheBlaze earlier this year after she sued the network when she was pulled from its air following pro-choice comments she made on "The View." In her lawsuit, Lahren said her removal from TheBlaze was a direct result of the remarks, a claim the conservative media organization denied. TheBlaze and Lahren ultimately settled. Most of the details of the settlement were not disclosed. After her tenure at TheBlaze, Lahren worked with the Great America Alliance, a PAC supportive of Trump. She will make her debut as a contributor on tonight’s edition of “Hannity” at 10 p.m. ET/PT. According to FNC, Lahren will have a signature role on the network’s upcoming digital lineup and will also offer political commentary to the network’s opinion programming, primarily “Hannity." Lahren is best known for her time at Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze, where she hosted the self-titled show “Tomi.” She would end each show with her “Final Thoughts” segment, in which she would expound on political and pop culture topics. She was suspended by TheBlaze earlier this year after expressing her support for abortion on “The View,” leading to a lawsuit against her former employer that was settled in May. Prior to TheBlaze, she hosted “On Point with Tomi Lahren” on One America News Network. Lahren has also found great success on social media, with her official Facebook page currently boasting more than 4.4 million likes. A graduate of The University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Lahren earned her B.A. in broadcast journalism and political science. She also produced and hosted the university’s political roundtable show “The Scramble” on UNLV-TV.
