Tomi Lahren gets demolished for Bad Bunny take, promptly heads back into hiding

Tomi Lahren just got dog walked.

The washed up MAGA pundit was foaming at the mouth this week about Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl. Like all right-wing trolls, Lahren takes it upon herself to caterwaul about the most foolish controversies imaginable, whether it’s a joke by Jimmy Kimmel or the NFL contracting one of the most popular musicians in the world to work its signature event.

While Lahren was far from the only blonde-haired barker to freak out over the “Me Porto Bonito” singer, her manufactured rage was uniquely idiotic. On an episode of her podcast, Lahren challenged leftist commentator Krystal Ball about Bad Bunny’s planned appearance at Super Bowl 60… four months from now.

Licking her lipstick, Lahren asked Ball if she thought Bad Bunny was a “good choice” to headline the game’s halftime show.

Ball said she didn’t have a problem with it, adding a little piece of bait at the end of her answer. “I’m not that knowledgeable about him,” she replied. “But it seems fine, and I don’t know why it’s a big deal.”

Wait for it, wait for it…

“He seems like a great American artist.”

Game. Set. Match. Like a pig at the trough, Lahren couldn’t resist.

“He’s not an American artist,” she offered.

Not missing a beat, Ball served up a quick civics lesson.

“He’s Puerto Rican,” she said. “That’s part of America, dear.”

OMG… DEAR?! That’s biting!

For the first time in nearly a decade, Lahren has gone viral. But not for the reason she intended.

She hit her with the “dear” that’s white woman on white woman

I just can’t believe how obviously Krystal baited her with the “American artist” bit, and she actually took it.

“He’s Puerto Rican … that’s part of America dear.”

Diabolical. I’m in love.

Lahren tried to continue her debate with Ball, but it was a futile effort.

“Yeah…,” she said, ignoring that she had just gotten owned into oblivion. “You don’t have any problem with him saying—I’m sure you don’t—ICE is ‘motherfers’ and ‘sons of b*tches’ and that he’s not gonna perform here due to immigration?”

Ball was unequivocal.

“America agrees with him on that,” she said. “The majority of Americans think ICE has gone too far.”

A fallen sh*tposter, Lahren has been usurped by hoards of MAGA women with the same beauty pageant aesthetic. Her star popped when she said on The View she was pro-choice, resulting in her expulsion from the very same mouth breathing media circle that propped her up.

Over the ensuing years, Lahren has doubled down on homophobia in her brazen attempts to re-ingratiate herself with the lowest common denominator. But she’s failed to gain traction.

Currently, the 33-year-old hosts a show on Fox News’ digital platform, along with a podcast on Outkick, the anti-LGBTQ+ sports website whose writers specialize in ripping Black sports pundits and trans athletes.

Bad Bunny, a Latino icon and queer ally, is the quintessential villain for that ilk. The GLAAD honoree skipped the continental U.S. on his current tour because of ICE, instead playing a three-month residency in his native Puerto Rico.

“There was the issue of—like, f*cking ICE could be outside [my concert],” he said. “And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.”

In response to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl booking, Corey Lewandowski vowed ICE will have an active presence at the game in San Francisco.

Just like that, another MAGA heathen stole Lahren’s hateful thunder. On that front, we suppose Lewandowski is a fitting choice.

Lahren is the original “ICE Barbie,” and he’s (allegedly) cavorting with the current one!

Back to hiding Tomi goes, only to reemerge for her next inevitable embarrassment.
