"The Truth About The Tomi Lahren Interview" Daily Show Behind The Scenes
Here is a link to a video on the Daily Show Facebook page.
My response, copy/pasted from FB:
There are lameass, dumbfuck, death/rape-threat spewing, troll/4chan/Gamergate/manchild types on both sides. It is, sadly, one of the few times that "both/all sides are just as bad" is actually accurate. These stupid fucks span the political spectrum, or maybe they're even off of it entirely, and they just do this shit because they're goddamned sociopaths.
Just because Tomi Lahren is a fucking moron, always has been a fucking moron, and probably always will be a fucking moron (which, of course, has zero to do with her being a woman, because there are men who are equally as fucking moronic as she is [and some who are even more fucking moronic than she is *cough*Trump*cough*]), that still doesn't give anybody a blank check to send her death/rape threats. There's *nothing* that gives somebody a blank check to send death/rape threats to someone else.
Now, granted, there are plenty of other, far better reasons to not send death/rape threats to someone than what I'm going to say next, but if absolutely *nothing* else, it makes the person sending the death/rape threats look like the asshat (because, you know, they *are* the asshat, in that situation), so if your goal is *not* to make your opponent look better than you, be they Tomi Lahren or whoever, then maybe *don't* send them death/rape threats, if for no other reason than that. You'll accomplish little other than make yourself (and the side that you are, ostensibly, representing) look like a much bigger asshat than they are, if you do. (Not, obviously, that the lameass, dumbfuck, troll/4chan/Gamergate/manchild sociopath types give the slightest shit about what other people think about them in the first place, so... eh? *shrug*)

That said, I would not have given her a platform from which to spew in the first place, but then, I'm not Trevor Noah, and I can kind of see his point, regardless of the fact that I disagree with it.
