America, I want you to know I don't "hate" anyone. I just love my country. http://t.co/jzXZ0gLROx

The On Point with Tomi Lahren host on One America News Network called the Obama administration response to ISIS and terrorism “half-way, half-baked, tip-toe, be-friendly-to-Jihadis mentality” during her highly passionate news broadcast – which has now been viewed about more than one million people.

The 22-year-old conservative anchor made her Obama ISIS statements during a One American News Network broadcast on Friday. The speech was reportedly inspired by the fatal Chattanooga shootings of four United States Marines and one active-duty Navy reservist by Mohammad Abdulazeez.

Tomi Lahren said that she comes from a family of Marines before telling her viewing audience that, “radical Islam is becoming the rule, not the exception. Yesterday’s moderate is today’s terrorist.”
Excerpt from the Lahren viral video about Obama:
“I care that this SOB killed four of our United States Marines, and I care that our Commander in Chief is more concerned with Muslim sensitivity than the honor and sacrifice made by these Marines. Do I care that he seemed like an all-American young man? Do I care that he was good at mixed martial arts or a smart quiet guy? Do I care that his high school friends would not classify him as ‘overly religious’? No, I don’t give a flying you-know-what about any of that. Let’s show them what the United States of America looks like up close and personal. Show them what they’re messing with. Put the fear of God in their desert, because clearly our lack of strategy isn’t working.”

During the Lahren video images of waving American Flags amid photos of servicemen and women created a patriotic background.
Not all of the online comments were positive.
“I don’t care about your family history. Give facts instead of shocking statement designed to rally people who shop at Walmart,” @Superhawk33 wrote.
The One America News Network had this to say about Tomi Lahren:
“Tomi is the youngest show host in the political talk arena. Don’t let her age fool you, she knows her stuff and appreciates both like-minded and opposing voices. On Point with Tomi Lahren is the newest political talk show on One America News Network. The show is an even platform for news discussion from all sides of the political spectrum, providing a fresh analysis of the issues facing our nation in an open and informative dialogue.”
