Fox News’ Tomi Lahren Causes Outrage After Comparing Social Distancing To ‘Willful Slavery’

Oh dear. Another Fox blonde bimbo has done it again and has said something just unbearably stupid.

Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren compared to stay-at-home orders amid the coronavirus pandemic to “willful slavery” in a now-deleted post on Twitter.

The Fox Nation host has been a vocal supporter of the anti-lockdown protests and has even likened social distancing orders to communism, but comparing them to slavery is certainly her hottest take yet.

“Compliance starting to look a whole lot like willful slavery. #ReopenAmerica,” her tweet read. Hours earlier, Lahren took to Twitter to claim she has had enough with social distancing and does not want to wait until the virus is killed to reopen America:

Lahren continued to post on Twitter regarding her disapproval with stay-at-home orders, noting “The point was to flatten the curve but here we are waiting and holding our breath hoping the gov will allow us to earn a living for our families.”

Comparing physical-distancing measures during a pandemic that has currently killed over 56,000 Americans to slavery is only the latest over-the-top remark from the Fox Nation host.

Last year, for example, Lahren came under fire for her sexist insinuation that Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris slept her “way to the top.” Several of her female Fox colleagues admonished the Fox Nation host for that “damaging” remark.

In recent weeks, as Fox News hosts and commentators have been cheerleading and promoting the anti-lockdown protests, network brass has attempted to rein in some of their stars. Last week, Fox News president Jay Wallace sent a memo to staff urging them to remind protesters that they should practice social distancing while attending the demonstrations.

Twitter was disgusted:
