Lahren describes herself as a "constitutional conservative". She has said that she is a commentator, not a journalist, and that her shows are not about presenting news neutrally, but about commentary and "mak[ing] the news". she believes in women's empowerment and looks up to various women from both the political left and the political right. TheBlaze owner Glenn Beck, among others, noted that Lahren had previously publicly said she was anti-abortion, in addition to numerous other inconsistencies on other issues. While in college, Lahren wrote a feature for the
Las Vegas Review-Journal about a classmate who had turned to stripping to support herself. Lahren is also in favor of
same-sex marriage. In June 2020, she supported Supreme Court justice
Neil Gorsuch's vote and majority opinion in the combined cases of
Bostock v. Clayton County,
Altitude Express Inc. v. Zarda, and
R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, ruling that businesses cannot fire
LGBTQ people for their sexuality or gender identity. Lahren stated, "You can be Christian, conservative, and a proud Trump supporter and believe people should not be fired for who they love. Conservative doesn't come in one flavor, one race, one religion, one gender or one sexuality ... and I won't sit by quietly and allow certain self-righteous and self-appointed and anointed conservative thought policemen make that decree." Some of Lahren's commentaries on race issues have been described by critics as racist or race-baiting, which she disputes. The petition was unsuccessful. In August 2016, she released a video criticizing
NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who had been protesting
police brutality by
kneeling during the playing of the national anthem before football games. Lahren was criticized as cruel and disrespectful as McCain was in very poor health; that day he discontinued medical treatment for brain cancer, and he died the next day. Many people have criticized Lahren for her behavior including former Fox News anchor
Greta Van Susteren. In November 2018, Lahren said that the "highlight" of her Thanksgiving had been watching
United States Border Patrol fire
tear gas at migrants trying to illegally cross over the Mexico–United States border. In December 2018, she ran a Fox Nation segment focusing on how members of a
Central American migrant caravan that had been stopped in Mexico that year were carrying diseases; she listed several unconfirmed cases of
HIV/AIDS and
chickenpox to support the claim. Lahren is a strong supporter of
President Trump. In a 2025 interview on her podcast with commentator Krystal Ball, she stated she had zero disagreements with the actions of him and his administration. Ball gave the example of the
deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to CECOT, alongside
the illegal deportation and detention of other American citizens by the administration, and in response Lahren stated that she "loved that." == Personal life ==
