In her own words....

https://www.aol.com/article/enterta...ve-fox-and-friends-appearance-video/23385749/

Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren admitted Wednesday to kicking her dog “five times” because she was bothering her during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” this morning.

“Why don’t you tell the world what you were doing during my entire 'Fox & Friends' hit,” says Lahren in an Instagram story. “Oh I know, chewing on her damn bone as loud as she possibly could. So I had to kick her about five times during the show.”


The dog, Kota, did not appear to be in any physical danger at the time of filming and wagged its tail as Lahren recounting the beating.

Takes a real low life to kick a dog.

But it was just a joke! Yeah, right.
 
My wife says daily, she "slaps around the cats" for a bit before she settles in for the evening.
About once a week I say i am going to put them in the burlap bag they love to lay on and take them to the bayou.
This is just loving talk owners say all the time about their pets.
Just like when i ask my wife to leave out the antifreeze when she makes my gallon of sweet tea.
She answers back, "OK, FOR TODAY ONLY, I will leave it out".

It is sad i even have to point this out.
I am sure there are much greater things to be offended by than this.
Or was today a slow day.

Y'all have a strange sense of humor. I don't get it but whatever floats your boat.

I guess I just don't know many people that joke about abusing helpless animals. :shrug:

Tomi Lahren Denies Kicking Her Dog | TMZ.com

I have told my dog that I would hang her on the ceiling fan and twirl her around if she sniffs about the kitchen counter again.
Look at my dog. Do you think I would or could?

Not taking sides with this woman, but may be we could give her the benefit of the doubt?

Watch the first 13 seconds.

Doesn't sound like a joke but I could be wrong. When I am joking I usually make a point to laugh about it or use an emoji but she seemed serious about it and even made a video shaming the dog for chewing on a bone.

I don't know, post a video of your dog being berated by you and I will judge it.

:doh

No, you do not "get' it.
No abuse was done.
No "slapping' was done.
No potential "poisoning" was done.

...and no "kicking" was done to her beloved doggie either.
There is not a dog owner alive that has not used their leg to push a dog away when they are;
showing their "undying devotion and love" for their owners
jumping on them,
slobbering all over them,
trying to eat that potentially fatal chocolate bar that fell on the floor,

or....

munching on a bone under her desk while she is on the air.

Lighten up, buttercup.

Maybe she shouldn't have given her dog a bone when she knew she was going to be on air. If you know your dog is going to do something, why put them in that situation and then punish them for it?

It is worth discussing though. When someone is on TV, they have to be esp careful, because what they say could be misunderstood, as is evident here.
It is very upsetting to think that anyone could abuse a helpless animal, and I surely have no use for such a person. Hell has a special place for them. However, I realize that we sometimes we say things that only we think is funny.

They love dogs at PetCo, and I thought it would be fun to take her. Pup was overwhelmed by all the smells and left a puddle on the floor (I cleaned it up).
We have since trained not to do that, but c'mon, sh.. happens.
 
I just kicked my dog. I thought I was kicking my wife. She left for work, he took her place in our bed. His snoring woke me way too early, to say nothing of his morning breath. He didn't even bother to roll over. I had no choice but to leave my own bed. Now, I'm going back to sleep on the couch, as soon as I figure out how to move the cat without waking her. Hmm, no one is in the recliner?

Very sad and emblematic of a spoiled brat without the patience to understand animals or anything at all.

It's okay because we have to accept it was just a joke or the "kick" was probably just a normal dog owner pushing their dog away with their leg after the dog was making noise for chewing a bone they gave them.

helpless?

If you ignore my big fat male cat when you are at your desk, he will remind you he needs a 'tickle" by sinking his claws ever so lightly into your thigh.
just enough to make you jump and look at him and give him his pet.
he WILL NOT be ignored!
Now he has us both trained to pet him for at least 30 seconds when he slinks around our feet while we are at our respective desks.

helpless?

You have to understand pets and pet owners relationships.
We mutually "abuse" and "kick" each other around about 50 times a day.
...and no purer love will you ever see on the planet.

Did you make a video shaming her for it and joke you had to kick her over it?

I understand **** happens and I can understand a joke but I just don't see the punchline in a video that shames the dog for chewing a bone then saying she had to kick her 5 times or so over it.

No that is not my relationship with my pets at all. We play but I would never even jokingly call it abuse or kicks.

I am sure you live in constant fear of that cat since it appears to be able to overpower you at any given minute. What's the cat's name, can you translate it to English good?

That is a very good point, but what you still do not understand is she was not "punishing" the dog.
I can bet you $50 she just used her leg to push the dog away.
We pet owners call that a "kick". Much simpler term than saying you pushed them away with your leg. We just say we 'kicked' them.
No punishment at all.
You have to let go of that.
She would most probably run into a burning building to save that mutt.
