Tomi's Final Thoughts

The Super Bowl is the most watched program on national television, over one-hundred million people viewed it this year - and the most watched period of the Super Bowl is not the actual game, it is the half time show. This year Beyonce was the performer, and boy did she perform.  Her controversial performance went viral after the game. Social media took off criticizing and praising her performance.  One person in particular who went viral along side Beyonce was Tomi Lahren. 



Tomi Laren is a conservative reporter who was very perturbed by the half time performance.  She believed the Black Panther-esque costumes were inappropriate. In response to the show, Tomi filmed a segment ripping apart the absurd performance.  Her video went VIRAL. Tomi Lahren smacked Beyonce’s disgraceful, racist, cop-hating performance at the Super Bowl and the internet went crazy.  This video was on my news feed for days!  She received death threats from people, but that didn't stop her. She retorted beautifully in another segment on The Blaze.  Tomi used her voice and social media to express her opinion. Social  media can be the most powerful thing to help or harm you.  


As an up and coming reporter, this has landed her spots on tons of shows across the country, but it may also harm her chances for future employment opportunities.  Personally, I loved her passion and honesty - but to some it was offensive.
