Animal cruelty is no laughing matter…
On Wednesday morning, Tomi Lahren posted a shocking clip on Instagram Story where she says she kicked her dog Kota five times for making noise during her Fox & Friends segment.

The conservative pundit was heard saying:
“Why don’t you tell the world what you were doing during my entire Fox & Friends hit? 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.”
As seen here:
Later that day, TMZ photogs caught the Fox News contributor at LAX where they questioned her about the controversial clip. The 25-year-old insists it was all a “joke,” as she “[loves her] dog more than anything in the world.” She said:
“I think people are pretty logical and they understand it was a joke… Anyone who knows me knows I love my dog more than anything in the world… Slow news day for you guys, isn’t it?”
In response, PETA‘s senior director of cruelty casework Stephanie Bell said in a statement:
“Only a heartless person would kick a dog just for doing what dogs normally do ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ and a reasonable person would simply have moved out of the way or moved the animal.”
No animals were harmed in the writing of this post.
