Fox Nation’s Tomi Lahren reveals all the places in Los Angeles she was too afraid to visit as she urges Americans to leave ‘c**p hole blue states’
Violent crime in Democratic-run cities has put residents in “legitimate danger” from “thugs, thugs and rogue green hairs,” Tomi Lahren warned.
The Fox Nation commentator reminisced about her time in LA when she had to run the gauntlet on the city streets while working for the network.
The experience left her afraid to leave her South Bay home, she told the Skinny Confidential Podcast, and prompted her move to Tennessee.
“I couldn’t go to Santa Monica, I had tons of assignments here in West Hollywood for Hannity, where I was going to do like Man on the Street, people would yell at me,” she said.
“If I lived in Hermosa Beach I would like Tower 12, I had a girl push me against the wall at Tower 12 and call me a name that starts with C.

A group of e-bike riders were filmed setting off illegal fireworks in a busy Hermosa Beach entertainment district this weekend, nearly hitting several children
“I mean, this was something that happened every day. People followed me around The Vons.
“It’s not just me,” the OutKick host added.
“Thank God I live in Tennessee, I feel sorry for a lot of these people who don’t have the protection of living in a place like I do.
“There are a lot of people in legitimate danger right now and it’s here in LA and it’s in New York and it’s in Washington DC and it’s in Portland, and it’s really sad.”
Her comments came just days after California Governor Gavin Newsom announced plans to cut funding for law enforcement as the state grapples with a massive budget deficit of at least $45 billion.
The proposed budget includes cuts of $97 million to the Justice Department, $10 million to the Justice Department’s Law Enforcement Division and more than $80 million to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, as reported by Fox News.
At the same time, in the first three months of 2024, violent crime in Los Angeles increased 2.9 percent, robberies increased 9.5 percent and homicides increased 28.1 percent.
Hermosa Beach residents suffered another night of misery last weekend as large gangs of e-bike riders rampaged through the area and set off fireworks in the busy streets.
A shoplifter in Santa Monica accused a store owner of breaking the law in dramatic footage released earlier this month after she tried to walk away with an armful of stolen jackets.
“You have my jacket and you need to give it back to me right now,” Amber Jolly of the Granercy Boutique told her.

California now accounts for a third of America’s entire homeless population
Newsom’s plan comes at a time when major national retailers and local businesses in California say they continue to experience rampant theft and crime
The woman replied, “Bro, you know what you’re doing is illegal, you can’t…”
“Give me my jacket right now,” Jolly insisted, “I don’t want you stealing from my store!”
Jolly told CBS News she felt she had to confront the woman because theft in California is at an all-time high.
‘Businesses are closing left and right because of all this looting. The system is broken, nothing is being done about it,” Jolly said.
Many of those fortunate enough have followed Lahren out of the state, with 340,000 more leaving than arriving in 2022.
Los Angeles has 340,000 fewer residents than in 2019, while San Francisco, San Diego and Santa Clara counties are each short about 40,000 people.
Florida, meanwhile, gained nearly 250,000, while Texas had 174,261.
California’s population is down 1.2 percent from 2019 and won’t reach pre-pandemic numbers until around 2032, according to current trends.
Homelessness rose 6 percent last year to more than 180,000 people in California, federal data show, despite the state spending $24 billion to address homelessness in the five years to 2023.
And since 2013, the numbers have exploded by 53 percent, with the state accounting for a third of America’s entire homeless population.
Lahren faced a hostile response when she tweeted her conversation on X, with some accusing her of cowardice in leaving LA.
“So if people from blue states move to Tennessee, you’re not going to complain about it?” Jerry Navarro asked.
“You just went to CA full of undeserved hubris, didn’t get the attention you craved from Newsom, and left. Period,” WWonTwit claimed.
But the 31-year-old was defiant and insisted she had done the only sensible thing.
“Another good reason to leave the blue states where thugs, thugs and out-of-control green hair run wild,” she tweeted.
