Tomi Lahren, who recently lost her job as a commentator on Glenn Beck’s The Blaze network, blasted the “snowflakes” who walked out on Vice President Mike Pence’s commencement speech at the University of Notre Dame on Sunday.
In comments many found lacking in self-awareness given the very public spat she just had with her former employer, Lahren suggested the Notre Dame grads would struggle to hold a job.
Here’s her initial tweet:
Snowflakes think this kind of crap will fly in the real world? Good luck holding a job, kids! https://t.co/O19otIrW77

In March, Lahren appeared on “The View” and declared her support for abortion rights. When the conservative network benched her, the two sides responded with public sniping and lawsuits.
Lahren and The Blaze settled earlier this month and she was released from her contract with the network.
As a result, her comments about “snowflakes” and “holding a job” drew a quick and sharp reaction:
@TomiLahren How did you do holding onto your job?

@TomiLahren Let me guess. You wrote this with zero self awareness and zero recognition of the hypocrisy

@TomiLahren Aren't you suing for wrongful termination for stating your views?

@TomiLahren If it turned out their employer stood for hatred and discrimination, I should hope they have the character to walk out on them too...

@TomiLahren You got fired for standing up for your beliefs. Think you'd have more sympathy, Tomi.

@TomiLahren Yes, because having integrity, morals and a sense of purpose is so useless. 🙄 These kids have a bright future ahead of them.

@TomiLahren This isn't a job, it's a graduation ceremony. These people don't want their big day ruined by that creep, can't really blame them.

@TomiLahren yeah, walking out of a speaking engagement is so controversial that I've been fired all 57 times I've done it
