Tomi Lahren Says That Her Ancestors ‘Discovered America’ — Twitter is Having a Field Day
Fresh off a racist mind-numbing beef with Cardi B, Fox News host Tomi Lahren is exchanging fire with another rapper, Nicki Minaj.
The latest Twitter spat got rolling when Lahren mocked rapper 21 Savage for getting arrested by ICE for allegedly overstaying his visa. ICE officials said 21 Savage, real name Shayaabin Abraham-Joseph, moved to the U.S. from the U.K. in 2005 and is currently in America illegally.
Lahren, who is apparently a fan of the rapper, mocked his arrest and potential deportation by quoting his hit song “Bank Account”:
I got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight ICE agents ready to deport ya. https://t.co/tivP1Ljj8V

Minaj fired back by accusing the Fox host of being “obsessed” with her culture, adding: “You fkn clown.”
Your obsession w/our culture is scary to say the least. I hate giving you the attention you so desperately crave. Laughing @ ppl getting deported as if your ancestors discovered America. Are you Native American? You fkn clown. https://t.co/7m0fYnubkq

Lahren responded by claiming her “ancestors did discover America” and assuring Minaj that she hoped 21 Savage would be “able to get an entertainment visa or become a citizen one day.”
When you’re in the country illegally, you get deported. I didn’t write the law and neither did ICE. They enforce it. I hope @21savage is able to get an entertainment visa or become a citizen one day.
P.S. My ancestors did discover America https://t.co/sXzQaD4Kd5

As you can imagine, Twitter wasn’t about to let her off the hook:
This knucklehead's great-great-grandfather was charged with forging a document in applying for US citizenship. Jury cut him slack, but he discovered America like she discovered the peroxide aisle at Walmart. Stop with the self-serving, hypocritical shite. https://t.co/uRd2ovoCy6 https://t.co/Fh2yXQPpHt

Your ancestors raped and murdered entire families, entire tribes, took their land and made them move from their homes into areas your ancestors designated. They didn't discover shit. Came across more like it. Incredible how fucking stupid and ignorant you are. https://t.co/eLiHcPMbiO

Wait, wait wait right there… Are you claiming lineage to indigenous people? Please do tell us more. Specifically how you are related to the indigenous people of North America? https://t.co/1yPO8sdyDk

No, your ancestors invaded an already inhabited land. Then committed genocide against those same people. This statement was not only false, but disrespectful. You're ignorant https://t.co/UKIavdnZDV
