“The Daily Show” on Thursday condemned Fox News commentator Tomi Lahren, calling her a “crisis actor,” in reference to conspiracy theories being pushed by conservatives about Florida school shooting survivors.
“Right now, a mainstream media organization is paying a young person to pose as a victim on TV,” a video shared by the show said. “In reality, this ‘victim’ is being coached to recite highly scripted talking points.”

The video features a compilation of Lahren’s television appearances and calls on Twitter users to tweet at the Fox News account with the hashtag #TammyMustGo.
The video comes following conspiracy theories on the Internet that Marjory Stoneman Douglas School shooting survivors who are now speaking out as activists for gun control are “crisis actors” enabled by a leftist agenda.
