What Would You Ask Maria Menounos?
- Dec 17 '19
Larry King: Ashley Miller on the ‘Larry King Now Blog’: “What are your thoughts on Tomi Lahren’s apparent firing from The Blaze network?”
Charlamagne tha God: Oh, I knew that was coming. I mean I told Tomi a long time ago, I said-
Larry King: It’s Tomi Lahren, isn’t it?
Charlamagne tha God: Tomi Lahren, yeah, I told her that-
Larry King: Why was Lahren fired?
Charlamagne tha God: Well she got fired because she’s on a conservative network, which is Glenn Beck’s network, and she went on ‘The View’ and basically said she was pro-choice and that a lot of conservatives are hypocrites. You know, if they’re not pro-choice, then—I kind of knew that was going to happen because I felt like Tomi was saying a lot of things that necessarily weren’t her opinion, so she was just saying things cause she was getting such a great reaction from them, and I always say that people who do that eventually crash and burn.
Larry King: Ashley Miller also asked, “Are you actually friends with her, and would you like to co-host a show with her?”
Charlamagne tha God: Nah, I wouldn’t co-host a show with her. And “friends” is a strong word, like we’re associates in the media game. Like she’s somebody that I had a conversation with because I saw the influence she was having, and she’s really young, so the influence she was having, she was spreading a lot of dangerous rhetoric about black people in general. I just wanted to have a conversation with her to let her know why her rhetoric is so dangerous, and maybe if you never had communication with a black person, you need to, so you can dispel some of those false narratives that you’re putting out there.
