The Way This 11-Year-Old Destroyed Tomi Lahren’s Tweet Goes Viral

So what’s the latest on that shiny new border wall that Americans were ‘promised?’ Well, as of yet no new sections have been built on the Mexican border, almost two years into Donald Trump’s presidency. He has had great difficulty securing the vast sums of money needed from Congress, many of whom believe the Trumps’ wall to be the most expensive, yet least effective way to deter illegal immigration.

In typical fashion, Trump has taken it badly. Threatening to shut down the government in order to get his way, negotiations have stalled over a request for $5 billion in funding for the border wall. But wait, wasn’t Mexico supposed to be happy to pay for it anyway? And what about priorities like health insurance, education, and infrastructure? Things that affect the real lives of millions of Americans every day?

Fox News contributor and sycophantic Trump cheerleader Tomi Lahren believes that a thousand-mile symbol of hysterical fear and insularity trumps all of these things. “$5 billion spent on a wall will be the BEST $5 billion taxpayers EVER spent! Build the wall. Secure the border. America FIRST!” she tweeted optimistically.

    Enter ‘Little Miss Flint.’ After seeing Lahren’s tweet about the wall, Mari Copeny, an 11-year-old girl, was understandably indignant. She decided to challenge Lahren’s assertion that the wall is the best use of taxpayer’s money, and proceeded to deliver a savage comeback that showed an eloquence and maturity well beyond her tender age of 11.

    The 11-year-old from Flint, Michigan, has become well known for her bright and passionate activism, having been directly affected by the water crisis in her city. When she was just 8 years old she wrote a letter to President Obama speaking out for the children of Flint, who have been badly let down by their country. The fact that the self-proclaimed ‘greatest nation on Earth’ could allow its children to be poisoned due to the negligence of a such a basic service is a scandal, and proves that there are more urgent priorities that need to be addressed!

    People were quick to praise the smart kid for her response; because any rational person knows that ensuring a clean water supply for citizens might just be a more pressing concern than Trump’s vanity project. However, as we know, there are a lot of less-than-rational people out there.

    Even when challenged by a troll who told her that as a kid she should ‘stay in her lane,’ the young activist hit the mark with a savage roast once again, leaving people wondering who the real ‘kids’ are here. Because while Mari might only be 11 years old, she has shown herself to be far more grown-up than the people needing to build walls around themselves to feel ‘safe’ and, dare we say it, the President himself.

    The right wing (wrongly) believes that weapons make us stronger. That's what weak people believe. It's all about killing anyone who you don't like. The left wing believes (rightly) that the way to make a nation strong is by educating the populace and keeping them healthy - all the things the right wing thinks are a waste of "their" money.

    Not the entire left wing. There are a lot of centrist and corporate leeches in the Democratic Party and lots of establishment trash. Progressives are the one who care about the populace. Progressives are part of the Democratic Party but certainly not the entirely of it.

    You know what the biggest problem is? The slogan "America First". That's the kind of s**t starting wars. If Putin would speak up saying Russia First (in Russian ofcourse), Trump will lose his orange head, because it's "America first". Don't need to pretend you're superior. That's the thing most stupid people do.

    "America first" is a terrible slogan or whatever to use for this crappy argument anyways. When people are dying from treatable diseases, schools are being shot up, etc., in America, and you aren't doing anything about it and instead wanting to build a wall, that's not America first, that's "my ego" first.

    I work in a UK primary school and we have the water tested multiple times a year. Because testing is mandated and it make a lot of sense I'd never given it a lot of thought and so I was genuinely astonished upon reading that this isn't the case in the US.

    Yeah, again, my country is small and c**p, being ex-communist and at the tail end of Europe when it comes to everything but internet speed and home-ownership (there, we rule the world * strikes heroic pose*) including water quality, and STILL, we don't have to deal with this kind of s**t. If you live in a city, then the water on tap is good to drink (if not exactly tasty, especially in Dobrogea, but that has to do with local hydrographic conditions- if your water table goes through limestone, it's not going to taste great, no matter what you do to it) and you only have to deal with problems in the country if your main source of water is a well, because some aquifers were polluted by industrial run-off during the communist years. Oh yeah, and we never used lead pipes. Ever. That s**t's just dangerous. Instead, all our water pipes are steel (for water mains) and/or plastics (inside buildings).

    When you know "America First" to someone like this Lahren woman is supposed to be a dog whistle for "White People Who Live in the United States ONLY". And, hell, not even all of them, tbh, just the rich. How long will the white middle and working classes of the U.S. allow themselves to be conned? "If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you." As long as some white people think they're both better than, and pretend to be afraid of, non-white people, they're going to allow themselves to be conned by rich white people via paid minions like Miss "I'm not white *enough*; I'll bleach my hair to look as Nordic as possible" Lahren. They're the first ones to try and tell entire races of people that they need to "fix themselves", when they forget that three fingers are pointing right back at them.

    Rich or poor, I never voted for that orange blasted blimped narcissistic criminal and I never would. I may be white, but I will only vote for a candidate with the skills and abilities that can do the job, not the one that looks like me or is a particular party. Any person that fell for his BS and hasn't realized their mistake already is not likely to change their opinion and will argue themselves to death. Denial and pride will be ugly when he goes to jail.

    I agree with Mari, clean water is a clear priority over a border wall, but that doesn't mean border security is a non-issue. A country can't be run by choosing a single issue over another single-issue. Running a country is multifaceted. Attention should be given to both problems. Too many people on both the right and left get too focused on things that they think will make the other side look bad. The toxicity in these comments alone is a glaring indicator of how much attention is put on insulting people on the other political side, rather coming together to fix the actual problem. To me, Lahren puts her foot in her mouth more often than not, as does our caricature of a president, but if you want to make a point against someone, calling them names and making fun of them just makes you look petty and unintelligent, which has little to no chance of changing your opponent's mind to your point of view.

    In today's dollars: The US spent $21.6 billion to win independence, $60.1 billion to keep the nation together and abolish slavery, $6.8 billion on the Spanish American War, $11.3 billion on failed alcohol Prohibition (no clear record of the cost of fighting the wide spread organized crime that it spawned but it cost over $110 billion to bring down just the Mafia), $56 billion to build the A-bomb, $40 billion getting Apollo to the moon, $334 billion on WW1, $4.1 trillion on defeating the Axis powers in WW2, $341 billion in Korea, $738 billion in Vietnam, and the War on Drugs (since 1971) $1 Trillion (the accompanying mass incarceration costs about $80 billion annually) and since 9/11 the combined wars have cost $1.8 trillion. Outstanding student debt has increased by $210 billion since Individual 1 took office and his Excretary of Education Betsy Devos stopped the debt relief programs Obama's Treasury instituted for them.

    It would have cost $55 million to completely replace the Flint, MI water system. The wall, at $5 billion is 90 times more money. So, we could replace the water supply in roughly 90 cities for the same price. Trump spent $49 million just on the equipment for that attack on the Syrian airport that kept them from flying planes for two hours. Also, there are places in the country that already have WORSE water than Flint! And finally, many people who "arrive" illegally in this country arrived legally but then didn't leave when their visas expired. So, is the wall going to chase them down and shoo them out of the country? That's a damned talented wall, I must say.

    If nothing much has changed since 2016 with Federal help, nothing will change if the city were given funding for an entirely new water system. It was ruined for the residents of Flint years prior by a local government that decided to reprioritize their funding and stop using the proper processing to prevent lead and other contaminants from coming directly through the taps. If you want a revolution, dont blame any US president, and dont ask for more help from the rest of country when there are gatekeepers between you and all the clean water in the world. They keep the funds and do nothing for the water. Remove them permanently.

    I upvoted this because that trashy Fox Nation psycho doesn’t know anything and is just racist. But, I really don’t care about what a child claps back with, especially when it really has no direct significance to the topic at hand. I agree with the child and I see the hypocrisy when it comes to funding, but, it’s still an unrelated topic and a distraction from the issue. The issue is immigration and border security. It’s a 21st century problem with a 3rd century solution (build a wall). That’s f*****g dumb as f**k and I don’t think people need to toss in all these other issues and muddy the waters (pun). The Fox person and the child are both irrelevant. People are so easily disracted though. F*****g focus for once.

Where are we going to lay pipelines? Where will the water source come from? Will we have to build another dam? ANYONE can say "I think money should go towards this". That's great, but it's useless.

    Amongst the Kalahari, when the men begin to argue, the women and children hide the poison darts so they can't harm each other. Carl Sagan taught me that in one of his talks. Slowly, but surely I'm seeing acts like this occurring. This young Woman, is doing just that. The wall is a weapon against protecting highly vulnerable people seeking shelter. The poison water a threat to life. Words can hold such power when delivered with respect and love. Bravo little sister!! You are so powerful. We hear your voice.

    I genuinely believe that the wall should be built around all of America, forcing them to be introspective, fix their destoyed nation, and stop defelcting their woes on to others. Guns, murder, violence, drugs, obesity, poverty, racism, sexism, religious discimination, unaffordable and unavailable medical care...... I dont think any American truly understands what low regard they are held in by the rest of the world, including other developed nations.

The kid is right that she knows nothing, yet. 5 Billions might sounds like huge since you're thinking from personal POV, but 5 billions is just a peanut if you look at the big picture.

    This is false. Undocumented immigrants do not have social security numbers, therefore they cannot benefit from welfare, medicaid or medicare, food stamps, or any other government programs. Please do some research before sharing falsities.

    Can you guys stop acting like you care about money though? If you did, you’d want to stop legal tax evasion by billionaires and companies, and you’d want to stop subsidizing and bailing out billionaires and corporations. They pay less taxes than you do. It isn’t about money. If it were, you’d be attacking a different group.

    $135 Billion, with a B, spent each year on illegal immigration. Imagine how much of that could go for things like clean water in Flint if we stopped hemorrhaging money towards illegal immigration and invested in border security. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/record-135-billion-a-year-for-illegal-immigration-average-8-075-each-25-000-in-ny This is why 11yr olds don't steer public policy.

    Liberal millennials continue to broadcast their astonishing shortsighted, naïve ignorance in this thread. That little girl is too young to understand the true diabolical nature of the world, including the socialist left value system. The heinous and evil Clinton regime is an extension of the same corrupt, deep state establishment that poisoned the water in Flint and continues the protracted slaughter of innocent children today. Some of you people are really stupid and sick. If you're uniformed and imbecilic enough to believe a physical barrier is not an essential tool to protect the US then you're beyond reproach. Do yourself a favor and educate yourself on the importance of barriers and their use around the globe for millenniums... or just maybe you hate your country enough not to want to protect it

    But there already is a physical barrier though, despite the fact that most illegals just fly here on visa and never leave. Besides that, broke a*s Jose Gomez isn’t really a threat to anyone in a large scale anymore than any irgee broke a*s American. If people want to protect the United States then we need to be looking at the threats on the inside, such as corporate welfare and income inequality. People who hate America don’t care at all about that. But I do agree that the opinions of some annoying kid are irrelevant and not something anyone should latch on to.

    Unfortunately the little girl is comparing apples to dinosaurs. The federal government had nothing to do with this locally created disaster. The decision to use bad water was a cost saving move. It should be noted that Michigan spent $857,000,000.00 of local tax money on illegal immigrants in 2017. Perhaps if we had some way to keep these people out Flint would have money for water. Something like, a wall might work. On September 29, 2006, the Fence Act passed in the Senate 80 -19. Why is it everyone thought a wall was a great idea right up until Trump was elected?

    We can do afford both wall and water, unfortunately water control rests with local governments, which in Flint is and has been the party of the great one Pres. Obama and not the great orange one, much as I see many things wrong with ALL politicians, this one doesn't belong to Trump, he has no authority over a state issue, the USA is a republic with divided powers between the central/federal government and state and local governments. This kid is passionate and getting things done, bit her vitriol needs to be directed at politicians who can actually fix the issue.

If you live in a city, then the water on tap is good to drink (if not exactly tasty, especially in Dobrogea, but that has to do with local hydrographic conditions- if your water table goes through limestone, it's not going to taste great, no matter what you do to it) and you only have to deal with problems in the country if your main source of water is a well, because some aquifers were polluted by industrial run-off during the communist years. Oh yeah, and we never used lead pipes. Ever. That s**t's just dangerous. Instead, all our water pipes are steel (for water mains) and/or plastics (inside buildings).

    When you know "America First" to someone like this Lahren woman is supposed to be a dog whistle for "White People Who Live in the United States ONLY". And, hell, not even all of them, tbh, just the rich. How long will the white middle and working classes of the U.S. allow themselves to be conned? "If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you." As long as some white people think they're both better than, and pretend to be afraid of, non-white people, they're going to allow themselves to be conned by rich white people via paid minions like Miss "I'm not white *enough*; I'll bleach my hair to look as Nordic as possible" Lahren. They're the first ones to try and tell entire races of people that they need to "fix themselves", when they forget that three fingers are pointing right back at them.

    I agree with Mari, clean water is a clear priority over a border wall, but that doesn't mean border security is a non-issue. A country can't be run by choosing a single issue over another single-issue. Running a country is multifaceted. Attention should be given to both problems. Too many people on both the right and left get too focused on things that they think will make the other side look bad. The toxicity in these comments alone is a glaring indicator of how much attention is put on insulting people on the other political side, rather coming together to fix the actual problem. To me, Lahren puts her foot in her mouth more often than not, as does our caricature of a president, but if you want to make a point against someone, calling them names and making fun of them just makes you look petty and unintelligent, which has little to no chance of changing your opponent's mind to your point of view.

    It would have cost $55 million to completely replace the Flint, MI water system. The wall, at $5 billion is 90 times more money. So, we could replace the water supply in roughly 90 cities for the same price. Trump spent $49 million just on the equipment for that attack on the Syrian airport that kept them from flying planes for two hours. Also, there are places in the country that already have WORSE water than Flint! And finally, many people who "arrive" illegally in this country arrived legally but then didn't leave when their visas expired. So, is the wall going to chase them down and shoo them out of the country? That's a damned talented wall, I must say.

    If nothing much has changed since 2016 with Federal help, nothing will change if the city were given funding for an entirely new water system. It was ruined for the residents of Flint years prior by a local government that decided to reprioritize their funding and stop using the proper processing to prevent lead and other contaminants from coming directly through the taps. If you want a revolution, dont blame any US president, and dont ask for more help from the rest of country when there are gatekeepers between you and all the clean water in the world. They keep the funds and do nothing for the water. Remove them permanently.

    I upvoted this because that trashy Fox Nation psycho doesn’t know anything and is just racist. But, I really don’t care about what a child claps back with, especially when it really has no direct significance to the topic at hand. I agree with the child and I see the hypocrisy when it comes to funding, but, it’s still an unrelated topic and a distraction from the issue. The issue is immigration and border security. It’s a 21st century problem with a 3rd century solution (build a wall). That’s f*****g dumb as f**k and I don’t think people need to toss in all these other issues and muddy the waters (pun). The Fox person and the child are both irrelevant. People are so easily disracted though. F*****g focus for once.

    I don't see why people are praising this kid. All she's said is "This money could be spent on plumbing" Okay. How? How to we start it? How to we implement it? When? Who do we employ? Where are we going to lay pipelines? Where will the water source come from? Will we have to build another dam? ANYONE can say "I think money should go towards this". That's great, but it's useless. Should I become king because I say money shouldn't be spent on Brexit, but houses for the homeless? Great. Crown me.

    Amongst the Kalahari, when the men begin to argue, the women and children hide the poison darts so they can't harm each other. Carl Sagan taught me that in one of his talks. Slowly, but surely I'm seeing acts like this occurring. This young Woman, is doing just that. The wall is a weapon against protecting highly vulnerable people seeking shelter. The poison water a threat to life. Words can hold such power when delivered with respect and love. Bravo little sister!! You are so powerful. We hear your voice. There should be a United Children's Nation of Human Rights formed. I want to know how all our children feel!!

    Clean drinking water is not a privilege it is a right; way to go little miss Flint you have more brains and a better understanding than those who pretend to have. You are the future of your country. Grow up and become a president if some of the others got in on nothing you should be a shoo in!

    I genuinely believe that the wall should be built around all of America, forcing them to be introspective, fix their destoyed nation, and stop defelcting their woes on to others. Guns, murder, violence, drugs, obesity, poverty, racism, sexism, religious discimination, unaffordable and unavailable medical care...... I dont think any American truly understands what low regard they are held in by the rest of the world, including other developed nations.

    18 billions/YEAR are gone to support ILLEGAL immigrants welfare, while many our own citizens are homeless, suffering, etc. 5 billions wall will save us plenty in the long run. The kid is right that she knows nothing, yet. 5 Billions might sounds like huge since you're thinking from personal POV, but 5 billions is just a peanut if you look at the big picture. Build the wall.

    This is false. Undocumented immigrants do not have social security numbers, therefore they cannot benefit from welfare, medicaid or medicare, food stamps, or any other government programs. Please do some research before sharing falsities.

    Can you guys stop acting like you care about money though? If you did, you’d want to stop legal tax evasion by billionaires and companies, and you’d want to stop subsidizing and bailing out billionaires and corporations. They pay less taxes than you do. It isn’t about money. If it were, you’d be attacking a different group.

    $135 Billion, with a B, spent each year on illegal immigration. Imagine how much of that could go for things like clean water in Flint if we stopped hemorrhaging money towards illegal immigration and invested in border security. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/record-135-billion-a-year-for-illegal-immigration-average-8-075-each-25-000-in-ny This is why 11yr olds don't steer public policy.

    Liberal millennials continue to broadcast their astonishing shortsighted, naïve ignorance in this thread. That little girl is too young to understand the true diabolical nature of the world, including the socialist left value system. The heinous and evil Clinton regime is an extension of the same corrupt, deep state establishment that poisoned the water in Flint and continues the protracted slaughter of innocent children today. Some of you people are really stupid and sick. If you're uniformed and imbecilic enough to believe a physical barrier is not an essential tool to protect the US then you're beyond reproach. Do yourself a favor and educate yourself on the importance of barriers and their use around the globe for millenniums... or just maybe you hate your country enough not to want to protect it

    But there already is a physical barrier though, despite the fact that most illegals just fly here on visa and never leave. Besides that, broke a*s Jose Gomez isn’t really a threat to anyone in a large scale anymore than any irgee broke a*s American. If people want to protect the United States then we need to be looking at the threats on the inside, such as corporate welfare and income inequality. People who hate America don’t care at all about that. But I do agree that the opinions of some annoying kid are irrelevant and not something anyone should latch on to.

    Unfortunately the little girl is comparing apples to dinosaurs. The federal government had nothing to do with this locally created disaster. The decision to use bad water was a cost saving move. It should be noted that Michigan spent $857,000,000.00 of local tax money on illegal immigrants in 2017. Perhaps if we had some way to keep these people out Flint would have money for water. Something like, a wall might work. On September 29, 2006, the Fence Act passed in the Senate 80 -19. Why is it everyone thought a wall was a great idea right up until Trump was elected?

    Planes, ladders, shovels, rope, missiles, and t-shirt cannons. That's 6 things that render the wall obsolete and are available easily to the public.

    We can do afford both wall and water, unfortunately water control rests with local governments, which in Flint is and has been the party of the great one Pres. Obama and not the great orange one, much as I see many things wrong with ALL politicians, this one doesn't belong to Trump, he has no authority over a state issue, the USA is a republic with divided powers between the central/federal government and state and local governments. This kid is passionate and getting things done, bit her vitriol needs to be directed at politicians who can actually fix the issue.

    Now, if money is the issue, I'm fine with suspending local city council and county official salaries in Flint until the issue is fixed or money found and appropriated.
