Fox News pundit Tomi Lahren got an earful from Twitter users after she told former First Lady Michelle Obama to “sit down” for praising her husband during a speech.
“Michelle Obama said we ‘had’ a great president. By what measure?” Lahren wrote. “Not in economic growth. Not in border enforcement. Not in strength on the world stage. Sit down, Michelle.”
Michelle Obama said we “had” a great president. By what measure? Not in economic growth. Not in border enforcement. Not in strength on the world stage. Sit down, Michelle.

The comments came in response to Obama’s remarks during a speech in Las Vegas.
“Here’s what we have to do: If we want qualified people that we trust, then people have to vote. Because you can’t vote some of the time and then sit out,” Obama said at a “When We All Vote” rally.
“You know, we saw that happen. We experienced that. But we had a great president,” she said of her husband.
“But every couple years folks sat out and said ‘well, I did my part, I voted once, I’m done, I’m out,’ “she added. “And I’m just telling you that democracy doesn’t work that way.”

Twitter users slammed Lahren’s factually dubious response.

Not in border control- deportation rose under obama
Not in strength on the world stage according to pew, global confidence in the American President.
This is like a 3rd string rookie QB telling Tom Brady to sit down.

Economic growth? Obama ended the recession and fixed the economy. Border enforcement? He quietly deported more Immigrants than any other president (don’t like this but facts are facts) Strength on the world stage? Putin could never punk Obama into publicly renouncing the CIA.

Economic growth: From the worst recession to unemployment under 4.5%.
Border enforcement: More criminal deportations while still protecting Dreamers.
Strength on the world stage: People around the world loved America for 8 years.
