Fox Nation’s Tomi Lahren praised rapper Lil Wayne for his recent remarks on the George Floyd protests, even as the musician received blowback from critics.
«Some, like Chrissy Teigen, have taken this tragedy as a time to encourage lawlessness, while others, like Lil Wayne, have taken a much different approach,» said Lahren on her Fox Nation show «Final Thoughts.» «An approach that has made him the target of outrage culture and to some, a traitor.»
«Why?» she continued. «He chose not to fall in line with the popular narrative that law enforcement as a whole deserves to be demonized.»
In a May 28 live Instagram broadcast with fellow rapper Fat Joe, Lil Wayne said that people who are upset over Floyd’s death should not demonize all police or all Americans of a certain race. Instead, he argued, it’s more productive to make focused criticism and concentrate on what Americans can do as individuals to address problems in society.
“I think when we see these situations, I think we also have to understand that we have to get very specific,» said Lil Wayne.
