RWW:Tomi Lahren Blames Liberals For The Tide Pod Challenge

In what has to be a truly historic feat of creative thinking, conservative firebrand and Fox News commentator Tomi Lahren has informed her audience that the “Tide Pod Challenge” meme is, in fact, a political issue and it’s all the liberals’ fault.

During her latest “Final Thoughts” segment uploaded today, Lahren sounded off about the latest internet meme of people filming themselves biting into Tide single-use detergent pods. It’s unclear where the “Tide Pod Challenge” meme came from, but it received so much media attention that it prompted Tide to create a public service announcement to dissuade people from ingesting the detergent.

But Lahren knew who was to blame for this “downright pathetic” meme: liberals.

“I know what you’re thinking: The Tide Pod challenge couldn’t possibly be political, could it? Actually, yes it is,” Lahren said. “It’s just the latest symptom of a larger problem: The breakdown of the American family. It’s what happens when kids aren’t taught boundaries, respect, consequences or logic.”

<snip>

“The left, which dictates popular culture, brainwashes young people into believing they live in a world where 64 gender options are up for selection, everything is free, Beyoncé is a God queen, and eating detergent is funny.”

The only people dumb enough to do that are probably watching your podcasts.

Only liquid an pods.

They might have found a spoon to be useful, rather than using their hands like that.

Tomi Lahren just says outrageous things to get clicks and headlines. There was likely something back in every decade similar when people could say something very similar. I remember in high school people "huffing" to get high off spray paint or aerosol cans. Kids have been doing stupid crap they should have been doing for generations. This is just another iteration, but people like Lahren have to attach a strawman argument to make it something its not.

Eat it now. There's a problem with brainwashing and it's not so much on the left.

makes what this person says worthy of anyone taking it seriously. I have seen nothing about her other than that she's a semi-attractive bleach blonde with lots of opinions. If she's the best that the right can do, then they are even more worthless than I thought.
