Tomi Lauren Suspended After Claiming to be Pro-Choice- Victoria Gonzalez Current Events

       Talk show host Tomi Lauren is famous for her very opinionated views about travel bans, Black Lives Matter movement, and transgender bathroom policies. I say this since most of her comments are seen as offensive to viewers after making statements such as, "It seems feminists are all about freedom of expression so long as the females are overweight or transgender." and also, "Americans stand up and fight for faith, family and freedom. Syrians run away."
           Her show, the Blaze, is a show in which she like other talk show hosts including Trevor Noah and John Oliver talk about weekly events while adding their opinionated view about the subject. However, the Blaze, is known and has a reputation for being dedicated more towards the right-wing Republican party. Recently she has stated during an interview on the View that she is for pro-choice despite the Republican party clearly stating their beliefs about abortion and Planned Parenthood. This lead to her show being suspended for a week. Many people have mixed views about how to respond, while in my opinion, I do not think she should be suspended for saying what she thinks just because others don't agree with it. While I disagree with many of her statements most of the time, she still nevertheless has the right to make those statements. Regardless of what I think.
