Conservative commentator Tomi Lahren may leave Glenn Beck’s website The Blaze by September, according to a report by The Daily Caller.
Lahren has become the new star in conservative media at the dawn of the Trump presidency with her inflammatory takes on topics such as Black Lives Matter and “snowflake” liberals. But the Caller says that her style has also rubbed her co-workers at The Blaze the wrong way, particularly after an appearance on “The View” this past Friday when she said she believed that pro-life conservatives are “hypocrites.”
“I can’t sit here and be a hypocrite and say I’m for limited government but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies,” Lahren said.
Watch the talked-about segment from “The View” below.
The comments received negative replies on Twitter from The Blaze reporters like Kaitlyn Schallhorn, who said that “Even Hillary Clinton didn’t call pro-life conservatives hypocrites.”

While Lahren did not call out anyone in particular, she stuck by her words following her “The View” appearance.
I speak my truth. If you don’t like it, tough. I will always be honest and stand in my truth.

I have moderate, conservative, and libertarian views. I’m human. I will never apologize, to anyone, for being an independent thinker.

Listen, I am not glorifying abortion. I don’t personally advocate for it. I just don’t think it’s the government’s place to dictate. https://t.co/qRjbAtJdo7

If Lahren does leave, it is expected that she would be picked up by Fox News, which saw three of its top female hosts — Megyn Kelly, Gretchen Carlson and Greta van Susteren — leave the network last year.
