It’s no shock or surprise to many of you that I’m a Tomi Lahren fan. Especially after my article, I Like Tomi Lahren And I’m Not Ashamed. I watch her videos as often as I can. While going through them the other day, I realized how crazy the number of views she has on some of them are.
So I thought, why not do a Top 5 Final Thoughts article? And here I am. The criteria for this top five is based on one thing — the number of shares the video has. Now, with the number of shares comes the number of likes, but I based my choices solely on the shares, not the likes.
5. Are You With Her?

In this video, Tomi talks about presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton after the conclusion of the DNC. Tomi goes over various differences between the two candidates. She states the views and ideals Hillary has and then states Donald’s differing views and ideals. She also shows a clip from Hilary’s first interview on CBS with her running mate that wasn’t aired on television.
4. BET Race Baiting

In these final thoughts, Tomi shares clips from the Black Entertainment Television Awards. The clips are mainly of Grey's Anatomy actor Jesse Williams' speech after accepting the humanitarian award. The clips show Jesse mention law enforcement against African Americans, the resistances of law enforcement and Black oppression. Tomi shares her opinion on the topic, as she always does. She mentions she doesn’t feel Jesse is setting an example for future generations or being a humanitarian to begin with.
3. Alton Sterling and The Facts

Tomi states all the facts that were known at the time of the view being posted about the Alton Sterling situation. She says, “We don’t know what we can’t see." She shares that decisions are to be made by the justice system and not the public. She promoted people sharing the story, but only if they get the right story and share that, not a story they are creating themselves. Tomi shares details about Alton Sterling that are known to be true. She agrees it is something to grieve about, but tells viewers to grieve about what you know — not what you think you know.
2. Obama Sit Down
18 million views, 166k likes
In these final thoughts, Tomi starts off by mentioning the things President Obama did while in office for the last eight years. She touches on Obamacare and mentions he produced no economic growth. She states that the "roof" is caving in because of what Obama did while in office. She shows clips of Obama at the DNC saying America is great. But Tomi adds that America is not great because of him. Obama says Trump is creating fear, but Tomi adds that Hillary plays into fear. Tomi closes with Obama being right about one thing, we as a country don't look to be ruled. We don't need a president as our "savior."
1. Sit Down Colin Kaepernick

Tomi starts of these final thoughts by going over Kaepernick's reasoning for sitting during the national anthem. She mentions the First Amendment and that protects his right just like it protects her right to produce the video about him. Tomi stresses that the national anthem isn't about color or race. Tomi makes a statement saying that if Colin doesn't like the country, he should get out because there are plenty of people in line to replace him. She makes multiple comments on her personal opinion of Colin. But ultimately closes by saying he needs to show respect.
I personally took the time to watch and note these five final thoughts. I found they all deal with different topics even though some have overlapping themes. They all share the fact that they express her feelings and her passions toward the topic of her final thoughts. At the end of the day, no matter the subject, I'm still #TeamTomi.
