Tomi Lahren’s “Joke” About Millennials in the Army

On Wednesday, conservative TV personality Tomi Lahren tweeted about millennial men struggling with heavy bags, but the joke wasn’t particularly well-received.

Many millennials are tired of getting bashed, and a lot of people thought Lahren’s point was offensive. Millennials are obviously already serving in the military and some have even been awarded the Medal of Honor. Others pointed out that it might not be a great idea to ban experienced trans people from the military if you’re worried about the lack of capable soldiers. Lahren later tweeted that people should be able to take a joke, but her “joke” left a sour taste for many.
