Conservative commentator Tomi Lahren is walking back her statement about kicking her dog five times during a live interview with Fox & Friends. After the Wednesday morning appearance, Lahren referenced the pet in an Instagram post, writing, "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." Stephanie Bell, a senior director for PETA, criticized Lahren, saying in a statement, "Only a heartless person would kick a dog just for doing what dogs normally do — and a reasonable person would simply have moved out of the way or moved the animal." Lahren later told TMZ that it was just a joke and people overreacted.
