Liberals are suddenly defending conservative firebrand Tomi Lahren. Here’s why.

Conservative commentator and all-around object of liberal hatred Tomi Lahren has found herself in a strange situation: liberals are suddenly defending her.

Over the weekend, Lahren was at a restaurant in Minneapolis with her mother when a random diner who was irked by Lahren’s presence decided to chuck a glass of water at her. The incident was caught on camera and — of course — went viral on Twitter.

Even the president chimed in to defend Lahren, tweeting that she is “a truly outstanding and respected young woman.”

The outspoken political commentator and Fox News contributor has drawn the ire of liberals for her conservative views, but she has also faced criticism from the right after admitting that she is pro-choice when it comes to abortion — a view which got her fired from The Blaze conservative website.

Liberal comedian Kathy Griffin, who was fired by CNN last year for posing in a gruesome photo with the head of an apparently decapitated Donald Trump, said she disagreed with Lahren politically but didn’t think it was “cool” for someone “to resort to physical actions” to make their point.

Andy Lassner, the executive producer of The Ellen Show and a prolific tweeter, also entered the debate, saying he had thought about it and ultimately decided that throwing a drink at Lahren “crosses the line” and was not “something to be celebrated” by people.

Lahren herself tweeted to thank people for the support, “even from those who normally dislike me.”

Some people were not so nice, however, with one Twitter user suggesting that the drink thrower should have finished the water and thrown the glass instead.
