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.”
The point was to flatten the curve, not eradicate the virus. It may take a year or more to kill the virus but the economy and livelihoods of millions are about to be destroyed entirely. Enough. #ReopenAmerica [1]

The supply chains are weakening, Americans are losing everything & elected officials are giving vague answers as to when it will end. 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.

The same people who said it was acceptable and valiant to jump turnstiles and riot in the streets over paying a subway fare are now shaming and demonizing Americans who simply want to reopen their businesses and get back to work. The mental gymnastics is impressive.

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:

Just a tweet for #TomiLahren [7]
She is an empty-headed, narcissistic, thoughtless dope, She has no concept of either communism or slavery. All she has to moan about is not being able to have her roots bleached and her nails done. pic.twitter.com/ilKqBlKW1U [8]

So some blonde bimbo on @FoxNews [10] is comparing 'social distancing' with 'wilful slavery'. Has @TomiLahren [11] been hitting the disinfectant bottle?

Because it was racist & ignorant in the face of the American people trying to protect ourselves from a deadly virus.
It’s interesting this isn’t the first time @TomiLahren [11] has weaved slavery into one of her endless narrative. It must appeal to her audience such as it is. https://t.co/DqtlnlrpZb [13]

@TomiLahren [11] you're a vile disgusting bitch. Have you ever put a second into understanding what slavery was? In the next tweet are just a few photos to give you the SMALLEST look into it. #tomilahren [17] pic.twitter.com/t8Z7CyDyNh [18]
