Conservative Fox News contributor, Tomi Lahren, was greeted by protesters in Philadelphia while on her “Family, Freedom & Final Thoughts," tour on May 17.
Right outside of the Keswick Theatre, where Lahren had her speaking engagement, both protesters and supporters lined opposite sides of the street, according to the Philly Voice.
Shouts of "USA...USA" and "build that wall.. build that wall," can be heard from one crowed.
Right before heading into the theater, Lahren spoke to her fans, and slammed the other side for not truly believing in free speech. Her brief pep talk was drowned out by people chanting: “Shame, shame, shame!”
“You believe in free speech.," she said. "They do not. You hold the high road, she said. They’re exercising a right that our friends and family have died to protect. Guess what: People like us protect their right to do that s***.”
Some protesters held signs saying “Tonight Only: Nazi Barbie,” “This Nightmare Must End” and “Stand Together With Love.”
One man in the video is seen trying to bring together both sides. He walks across the street, where the police are standing and greets and shakes hands with one of the protesters.
A local resident, Dino Kelly, said he understood why people were both fighting and cheering.
“On this side of the street, they want to stand up for America. On the other side, they want equal rights,” he said. “Everybody wants the same things in life at the end of the day."
