NEW YORK – GLAAD, today released background information on Fox News’ newest hire Tomi Lahren, an anti-trans activist who has signed on as a contributor for the cable station notorious for employing out-of-touch anchors and pundits who want to rescind LGBTQ acceptance across the nation.
Tomi Lahren has gone after critics to President Trump’s transgender military ban despite the fact the White House could not even defend the policy to the media. Further, Lahren has praised the Trump Administration for revoking President Obama’s guidance protecting trans students at their schools and deadnamed and misgendered Chelsea Manning.
