Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren offered some thoughts on the Tide Pod challenge of Friday, accusing the political left of brainwashing young people into thinking it’s cool to eat laundry detergent.
“The left, which dictates popular culture, brainwashes young people into believing they live in a world where 64 gender options are up for selection, everything is free, Beyonce is a god-queen, and eating detergent is funny!” Lahren huffed in a Facebook video posted by Fox News Insider.
“I know what you’re thinking, the Tide Pod Challenge couldn’t possibly be political, could it?” she added. “Actually, yes it is. It’s just the latest symptom of a larger problem, the breakdown of the American family. It’s what happens when kids aren’t taught boundaries, respect, consequences, or logic.”

Delivered in her usual fast-talking combative stye, the monologue is classic Lahren and par for the course that she regularly offers on Fox News.
After beginning as a series of YouTube videos featuring teenagers chewing on highly caustic tide pods, The Tide Pod challenge has left several dead and has become the first bonafide stupid Internet phenomena of 2018.
