Fox News host Tomi Lahren ripped the Republican Party on Monday, arguing the GOP has failed working Americans so badly that socialism has become increasingly appealing to those struggling with the cost of living.
“Let’s be frank about it, some Americans are turning to socialism because Republicans have failed us so dismally that even the most destructive economic model imaginable feels palatable to people who are struggling to make ends meet and buy groceries,” Lahren wrote on the social platform X.
Lahren specified she was not referring to younger voters or “Gen Z brats” with money, but instead “middle class working families who don’t indulge on luxuries and just try to make it.”
In a follow up post, she further slammed Republicans who have pushed for continued U.S. military operations against Iran and accused lawmakers of being disconnected from the economic consequences of the nearly six-month war.
She said the politicians doing so are “likely all invested in the military industrial complex” and were unconcerned about pressure felt by consumers at the pump, amid rising gas prices linked to the war.
“The uni-party is an abomination and outside of @timburchett and maybe a couple others, the GOP is an utter embarrassment,” she said, referring to Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.).
The national average price of a gallon of gasoline is $4.01 as of Tuesday morning, according to AAA, which has risen more than a $1 since the U.S. and Iran attacked Iran on Feb. 28, 2026.
Her broadside comes as President Trump faces mounting pressure to bring the war with Iran to an end amid a challenging midterm election year, where the economy has become a core issue for voters.
Trump on Sunday said that he was “low-keying it” on Iran and was “only semi-negotiating” as his administration seeks an agreement to end the conflict.
