People Are Calling Tomi Lahren 'Disgusting and Despicable' After She Tweeted This Offensive Remark About an Iranian Oscar Winner

The conservative TV provocateur responded with even more cruel comments.
  • During the Oscars, Iranian director Asghar Farhadi won his second Oscar, yet did not attend in protest

    Farhadi won Best Foreign Language Film Sunday for his film, The Salesman. His decision to boycott the show came as a result of President Trump's executive order that banned immigrants from seven Muslim majority countries from entering the United States for a period of time. 

    Instead of reading his own remarks, Farhadi had Iranian-American engineer Anousheh Ansari, the first Iranian to go to space, read his statement. 

  • Although Farhadi's statement received a large amount of applause from the attendees, everyone's favorite conservative Twitter troll Tomi Lahren was not impressed

  • Comedian Carly Aquilino hilariously pointed out why Lahren is probably so salty
