Tomi Lahren defends OutKick's ESPN scoop, torches Jemele Hill, backs Sophie Cunningham

Tomi Lahren answered with a blowtorch.On Thursday, Lahren appeared on both "Tomi Lahren Is Fearless" and "America Reports." Across the two appearances, she addressed two of the week's biggest sports stories: Jemele Hill's outrage over OutKick's reporting and Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham doubling down Wednesday on her support for protecting women's sports from trans athletes after the WNBA media predictably lost (her) mind.WHITE HOUSE DEFENDS WNBA STAR SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM AFTER SHE SPEAKS OUT IN SUPPORT OF PROTECTING WOMEN'S SPORTSJemele Hill speaks on stage during the 56th NAACP Image Awards Hosts Hollywood House Symposium at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, Calif., on Feb.19, 2025.

She didn't retract her statement when the woke mob came for her....
To my knowledge, she's the only active female professional athlete willing to take the political and social risk to say something that should be so common sense."Indiana Fever superstars Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark are arguably the two most popular players in the WNBA.(NBAE via Getty Images)Sophie Cunningham announces a round during a lightweight fight at UFC 329 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nev., on July 11, 2026.
