On heels of racial controversy, Tomi Lahren accuses LGBT community of attacking masculinity
Tomi Lahren doesn't seem to mind being a lightning rod for controversy. After a dustup with Cardi B, she now seems like she wants to go after the LGBT community

Fox News pundit Tomi Lahren has found a new target for her usual vitriol and this time she’s taking aim at the LGBT community.
Monday, Lahren took to Twitter to complain about how “the left” and the LGBT community are attacking masculinity.
I just don’t get this ongoing and continual assault on masculinity by the Left.
You can be a proud part of the LGBT community and movement without attacking traditional men and marriage at every turn.

Lahren is one of several conservatives to make allegations that there is a liberal attack on masculinity taking place.
The talking point gained steam amongst conservatives in January, after shaving brand Gillette launched a new ad campaign in response to the #MeToo movement. The video has received intense criticism on social media with some men even calling for a boycott of the brand altogether.
But it is likely unsurprising that Lahren would be attempting to revive the controversy given her history of anti-gay sentiments.
During the summer of 2017 LGBTQ organizers held The Resist March, which replaced that year’s Los Angeles Pride Parade. In response, Lahren called the event a “crybaby fest of bulls**t.”
Then in a subsequent Facebook video she spoke directly to the gay community stating, “We get it — you’re gay and guess what, we don’t care. President Trump doesn’t care. In fact, President Trump, unlike President Obama, stood up for your rights day one. Obama had to evolve, remember that? Or were you too busy waving your rainbows and screaming your profanities about our President?”

The tweet comes after Lahren being criticized by several in the Black community over her racially charged tropes.
Rapper Cardi B shaded Lahren after she weighed in on the 21 Savage immigration situation saying: “I got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight ICE agents ready to deport ya,” which is a play on the lyrics of his song “Bank Account.”

The two went on an exchange that moved Cardi to check her quickly on her rhetoric.
You’re so blinded with racism that you don’t even realize the decisions the president you root for is destroying the country you claim to love so much .You are a perfect example on no matter how educated or smart you think you are you still a SHEEP! https://t.co/khRpoOt16B

Lahren also took shots at Rep. Maxine Waters last year after the congresswoman made comments during a rally protesting the Trump Administration’s policy of separating migrant families crossing the border from Mexico.
“Let’s make sure we show up, wherever we have to show up,” she told attendees in Los Angeles. “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you cause a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome – anymore, anywhere – we’ve got to get the children connected to their parents, the children are suffering.”
Lahren complained after Waters refused to back down from her statements.
“I find it funny because many of the people who have been attacked, harassed, assaulted have been conservative women,” she said. “So where’s the left on this? Where are the feminists who are about female empowerment? TimesUp, #MeToo—where are their voices?”
