Tomi Lahren has been on of the strongest supporters of Donald Trump, including his stance on immigration reform. After Lahren's family history was uncovered and found to include many undocumented immigrants, the Fox News commentator responded back on social media.
You stalked my family history as a part of your #resistancegenealogy and that’s all you got, babe? I’ll discuss tomorrow morning on @foxandfriends

Lahren's family tree
Donald Trump kicked off his presidential campaign in the summer of 2015 and quickly made headlines after he made a point to insult illegal immigrants from Mexico.
Since that moment, Trump has pushed immigration reform as one of his top priorities, including the possibility of mass deportation and the construction of a southern border wall that he claims will be funded by Mexico. Fast forward to earlier this month when Chief of Staff John Kelly accused undocumented immigrants of refusing to assimilate into the United States. This sentiment was echoed by Tomi Lahren, who has doubled down on the immigration issue on a routine basis.

Over the weekend, researcher and author Jennifer Mendelsohn revealed Tomi Lahren's family tree, going back over a century to look at census records and found that several of her family members came to America and were undocumented, with some not even learning to speak English.
In a tweet sent out on May 14, Lahren lashed out in her defense. "You stalked my family history as a part of your Resistance Genealogy and that’s all you got, babe?" Lahren said of Mendelsohn. "I’ll discuss tomorrow morning on "Fox and Friends," she added. Not long after tweet, Lahren received expected criticism.
