The Blaze founder Glenn Beck on Monday took to Twitter to question whether one of the most popular television hosts on his network was intellectually honest.
Beck was criticizing Tomi Lahren, host of TheBlaze TV’s “Tomi.”
Lahren has been criticized in some conservative circles after a Friday appearance on ABC’s "The View" for revealing that she supports abortion rights.
“You know what? I’m for limited government, so stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well,” Lahren said. On Monday, Lahren tweeted that she has “moderate, conservative, and libertarian views.”
“I'm human. I will never apologize, to anyone, for being an independent thinker.”
Beck, a former Fox News host, shot back at Lahren on Twitter on Monday.
“Wait, libertarian views? Help me out on Trumpcare, stimulus, and executive orders. Trump is anything but libertarian,” wrote Beck, while adding the hashtag #intellectualhonesty.
The Daily Caller reported last week that Lahren is considering parting ways with the Blaze “in September if not sooner.”
The 24-year-old University of Nevada, Las Vegas graduate has 4.3 million followers on her Facebook page and more than 665,000 followers on Twitter.
That was three months ago, today is different(at least when she is on The View) .
Something struck as wrong with this vacant Barbie-doll a while back.
3 Months Ago, Tomi Lahren: 'Abortion Is Murder' -- Today: 'Pro-Life Conservatives Are Hypocrites
Huh? The SCOTUS has no right to approve abortions. That’s what I believe in.
Pro choice can be I choose NOT to have an abortion.
She appears in this parody video, mocking the pro-choicers.

Yes, and just three months ago she called abortion murder.
Scroll about a third of the way own: interesting Tweet.
(Iv’e never been sure of the mechanics of reposting a tweet.)

Wrong premise. It is not “their body.” It is an unborn human fetus with dna from two individuals, i.e, a separate human.
Glenn Beck has been under pressure to fire Tomi Lahren for a year or so and has steadfastly refused to do so. He is committed to intellectual diversity on The Blaze. (Conservative/libertarian range, but diversity nonetheless.)
Will he fire Tomi? I don’t think so, although his shot at her intellectual honesty is a sign that it may be under consideration. Beck values intellectual honesty in his hosts, even if they don’t agree with him.
Will she leave? Probably not, unless she sees a better offer.
Glenn Beck’s star faded long ago...................
As far as I know, he does. He’s very open about “do your own research.”
History (AKA His Story) is a very interesting series (currently on hiatus.) If nothing else, Beck is a very good storyteller.
"I am so pro-Trump right now." -- Glenn Beck
loves Islam
False claim. Remember, Beck is the one who went after Grover Norquist for his jihadist ties.
Which tells me she doesn’t have any depth of understanding of conservatism.
Lately, she’s been madly deleting he college videos and tweets (whcih sound liberal/progressive.)
....The whole thing is probably a setup knowing him to draw ratings.
LOL!! THAT was my exact thought, too, when I saw the loser’s (Beck) name in the headline.
All for show, ‘cause he’s running outta dough.
I almost stepped in some Beck on my way into the office today.
Maybe she’s a MehAgyn wannabe....vying for a spot on, say, MSNBC...to take Madcow’s place.
Well, the Framers don’t agree with you.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” — The Declaration of Independence
“to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity” — The Constitution of the United States. (Let me ask you, who are “our posterity”?)
“nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” — Amendment V
“nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” — Amendment XIV
Judge James Wilson of Pennsylvania is one of just 6 men to sign both the Declaration of Independence and teh Constitution. He wa also one of the original justices of teh Supreme Court.

“James Wilson’s “Lectures on Law,” given at what eventually was to become the University of Pennsylvania, clearly affirm that the right to life encompasses the unborn. Wilson was one of only six men to sign both the Declaration and the Constitution, and was a Supreme Court justice from 1789 to 1798. Recognized as “the most learned and profound legal scholar of his generation,” Wilson’s lectures were attended by President George Washington, Vice President John Adams, Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson and a “galaxy of other republican worthies.” For this reason, as constitutional scholar Walter Berns states, “Wilson, when speaking on the law, might be said to be speaking for the Founders generally.” So what do the Founders say about the right to life?
Wilson clearly answers this question: “With consistency, beautiful and undeviating, human life from its commencement to its close, is protected by the common law. In the contemplation of law, life begins when the infant is first able to stir in the womb. By the law, life is protected not only from immediate destruction, but from every degree of actual violence, and in some cases, from every degree of danger.”
Given Wilson’s exegesis, one cannot doubt that the Founders recognized that unborn infants are owed the full protection of the law.”
“Bouvier, citing Theodric and John Beck’s 1835 Elements of Medical Jurisprudence, himself questions the age-old idea of the quickening, noting that “physiologists, perhaps with reason, think that the child is a living being from the moment of conception.”
“Subsequent federal and state laws banning abortion altogether were a logical development of the Founding Fathers’ absolute reverence for the self-evident and inalienable right to life. It is no accident that the Declaration, as written by Thomas Jefferson, characterizes the right to life as the first of those three foundational rights for the sake of which government itself is instituted. Where there is no guarantee of the right to life, legitimate political authority simply does not exist. Where there is no guarantee to life for both the weak and the strong, the rights to liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all are themselves at risk. “
The Framers seemed to think that both the state and Federal governments had authority over abortion.
You see the abortion argument is one that is based on emotion and Illogical thought., which is why it is almost impossible to have any rational discussion of it.
Now tell me this, you have a daughter, say between 14 and 16, she gets pregnant and comes to you. What will you do?????
