Tension and anticipation was at its peak on Saturday when liberal talk show host Chelsea Handler and conservative commentator Tomi Lahren sat down at the 2017 Politicon event for a debate on President Trump and other political issues. According to The Daily Beast, Lahren was thrilled, expressing her feelings on social media, while Handler remained silent. Apparently, she viewed the exchange as a mere interview, unlike many others who were sure about a heated debate. It turns out they were correct.
Lahren and Handler began their debate with discussing mutual views they shared, such as the value of hard work and the rapper who calls himself 50 cent. The two women also discussed where they came from and how they got to where they are now. However, as Handler and Lahren discussed the political issues, the clash of opinions become more evident.
Lahren boldly stated her support for limited government, strong borders, low taxes, and free market capitalism. In response to Lahren’s advocacy for limited government, Handler questioned her about “human decency” and the need for healthcare. This key subject marked a divider between liberal values and conservative values.
