Tomi Lahren,?? ??? outspoken conservative commentator and host of the nightly talk show, Tomi, has been suspended from TheBlaze following several comments on abortion, CNNreports.
Severe backlash stemmed from the 24-year-old's Friday appearance on The View, in which she told the audience she was pro-choice, contradicting past comments she made passionately bashing abortion.

So I can’t sit here and be a hypocrite and say I’m for limited government but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies," Lahren told members of The View, changing her strict conservative tune on air.
"I can sit here and say that as a Republican, and I can say, you know what, I’m for limited government, so stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well."

Following the liberal-leaning comments, Leon Wolf, managing editor of Glenn Beck's conservative media outlet, TheBlaze, simply told CNN,"Tomi's show will not be in production this week." Though Lahren did not officially address the suspension, she composed several tweets that appeared to respond to the controversy, explaining she will always "speak her truth" and will "never apologize, to anyone, for being an independent thinker."

Though no official reasoning was given for Lahren's week-long on-air absence, conservative fans and those who have been keeping up with the 24-year-old's political rants were clearly taken aback by her hypocritical change in viewpoint.

To the criticism and swift judgement from conservatives, Lahren simply explained conservatives don't alwayshave to agree on everything.

Members of The Viewlater came to Lahren's defense in a follow-up panel chat with a similar mindset, explaining that people don't have to fall in line with every stance of their political affiliation. However, TheBlaze founder, Glen Beck was not too pleased.
On Monday, Beck quoted Lahren's tweet in which she claimed she has libertarian views, adding that Trump is "anything but libertarian." He later addressed the 24-year-old's "dustup" on The Glenn Beck Radio Program.

First of all, we have a whole bunch of different kinds of people that work here," Beck announced, explaining that if you're pro-choice you can still have a job at TheBlaze. However, he said, "I don’t hire people who are sycophants or don’t have my opinion. I try to hire people who have a different opinion because I believe in being intellectually rigorous."
"I don’t want strawmen. I want people to have a real argument on the other side so we can learn from each other, and we can grow."
Beck did not address Lahren's future with the company, so we'll just have to wait and see.
