In March 2017, Lahren stated that she supported abortion rights, which drew criticism from a number of anti-abortion writers.

Tomi Lahren Career
Lahren applied to One America News Network (OANN) in search of an internship in political commentary, received an interview, and was instead offered the opportunity to host her own show. She relocated to San Diego, California, and started working for OANN. In August of 2014, On Point with Tomi Lahren premiered.
A video of her commentary on the 2015 Chattanooga shootings went viral in July 2015. Lahren announced on August 19 that she had finished her final show with OANN. In November 2015, she relocated to Texas and began a new show with The Blaze. She became known for concluding her shows with three-minute segments called “final thoughts,” in which she spoke very quickly.
These segments gained a lot of traction on social media. Lahren endorsed Marco Rubio for president in the Republican Party presidential primary in January 2016. Lahren appeared on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah for a 26-minute interview on November 30. Many critics likened her appearance to that of former host Jon Stewart’s friendly rivalry with Bill O’Reilly.
On March 17, 2017, Lahren appeared as a guest on The View, saying that women should have access to abortion and that she would be a hypocrite if she supported both “limited government and government restrictions on abortion.” Glenn Beck, the owner of TheBlaze and an anti-abortion activist, chastised Lahren for her comments and suspended her without pay, prompting Lahren to file a wrongful termination suit. The lawsuit was settled through an agreement in which Lahren kept her Facebook page but deleted videos she made with TheBlaze.
Lahren began working in communications at Great America Alliance in May 2017, an offshoot of Great America PAC, a large pro-Donald Trump super PAC chaired by Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani. Lahren described her role as a “side gig,” and she stated that she would return to television as a commentator. Lahren joined Fox News as a contributor in August 2017.
