In case you missed it, this past weekend Politicon hosted a highly-publicized interview between the liberal talk show host, Chelsea Handler, and conservative provocateur, Tomi Lahren. Things got very colorful very quickly.
The pair discussed many topics in the fifty-minute interview including healthcare, national security and the military, Hillary Clinton, Trump’s tax returns and Lahren’s future plans after being axed from the Blaze.
Notably, Lahren is an opponent of Obamacare, but she admitted that because she is under twenty-six years old, she is still under her parents’ plan – a feature of Obamacare. When Lahren made this statement, the crowd went wild. She then elaborated that she is not against all tenants of Obamacare, but did not name anything beyond being allowed to stay on her parents’ insurance.
When discussing the President, the crowd – including the camera man – erupted into chants of “USA.” Handler pressed Lahren asking if she ever felt that Trump was not the right fit for the highest office of the land. Lahren responded that she can get over the “meanness” of Trump’s tweets because he is helping middle-class America.
In regards to Scarmucci, Lahren said that “he’s a former liberal so he’s one of yours” and Handler replied, “well you can have him.” (Though we should note, it seems like no one really wants to have him, since he just got fired from the White House Communications team.)
Lahren clarified that she does, in fact, have feelings when discussing national security. They then delve into the topic of Trump’s tweets regarding reinstating the ban on allowing transgender individuals from serving in the military.
The pair discuss transparency and lies and the microscope that the President is put under. Handler’s contention is that the Trump story is always so big and consumes a lot of media attention, meanwhile Lahren’s argument is that the media puts too much focus on the President.
They end the show on a lighter note. They both agree they “wouldn’t kick a baby.” And then Lahren openly admires Handler’s career path. While the pair have extremely different views, the interview was good natured and remained civil between the two.
