LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tomi Lahren, known for her outspoken views on Fox News, recently took a jab at Vice President Kamala Harris for taking part in a roundtable discussion with rapper Fat Joe on marijuana sentencing reforms.

Despite her criticism, Lahren surprisingly admitted that issues like marijuana legalization and abortion might serve as winning strategies for the Democratic Party in the upcoming election.

During an episode of 'Outnumbered' on Fox News, host Emily Compagno questioned whether Harris' approach of appealing to younger voters through discussions on marijuana was the right priority.

Tomi Lahren criticizes Harris for prioritizing abortion and weed 

Lahren responded by highlighting Harris' perceived avoidance of certain pressing issues like the border crisis while focusing on topics like abortion and weed.

"I think this week, things have become very apparent that Kamala Harris cannot address certain issues like the border, but she can address two things that seem to be Democrat Disneyland, which is abortion and weed," Lahren said.

"And that is what the Democratic Party thinks of their voters. They think those are the issues that are going to get you out [to the polls], abortion and weed."

"Unfortunately, they might not be wrong. And it might be a winning strategy for the Democrats," she admitted.

"If they can play on those two issues, it gets people out to vote that might otherwise stay home. Weed and abortion. Sad reality, but it might be true."



 

Patrick Murphy advocates for federal marijuana legalization

Patrick J Murphy, a former Pennsylvania congressman, joined the conversation, highlighting the shifting landscape regarding marijuana legalization across various states.

He emphasized the growing support for setting a federal standard on marijuana legalization, suggesting a departure from the current state-by-state approach favored by some Republicans.

"It’s a different world out there. Dozens of these states have medical marijuana, and it’s legalized now," Murphy stated.

Compagno added, "Yes, sentencing reform is important. But is it more important than the pain Americans are feeling right now with inflation?"

In his recent State of the Union address, President Biden said he has asked his cabinet to review the federal classification of marijuana. He also expressed support for "expunging thousands of convictions for the mere possession, because no one should be jailed for simply using."

He added that past possession charges should be "wiped off your record."

At the White House discussion on Friday, Vice President Harris said it’s "absurd" and "patently unfair" that by current federal laws, "marijuana is considered as dangerous as heroin and more dangerous than fentanyl."

Internet reacts to Tomi Lahren's remarks

A debate ensued on X, formerly Twitter, over the complex issue of abortion, showcasing a range of perspectives within the online community.

One user wrote, "I disagree, we have the numbers on our side. God Wins!"



 

Another added, "Shut your face. Let’s talk 20 weeks and let Republicans explain pro-life. For God sakes we begged for a federal ban (acknowledge) against abortion on demand. Let us work through the explanation of prolife. Can we? Can Republicans explain the sanctity of life without defending Roe? Let’s start."



 

One user replied, "You want to lose then make a hardline national stance on abortion. Leave it up to the states and that is your position! I hope the antiabortion wing of the Republican party learned their lesson from the last election."



 

Another added, "Republicans shouldn’t have stance. The Supreme Court said it’s not a federal matter. It’s private. Leave it at that. States should do the same. That’s how you beat liberals on a social issue that shouldn’t be politicized."
