President Trump on Wednesday praised Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren after a woman reportedly threw a glass of water at her while she was leaving a restaurant in Minnesota. 

“Everybody is with Tomi Lahren, a truly outstanding and respected young woman!” Trump tweeted shortly after Lahren appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Fox News.

Everybody is with Tomi Lahren, a truly outstanding and respected young woman! @foxandfriends

TMZ reported that a woman threw a full glass of water at Lahren as she and her family were leaving a brunch at a restaurant near Minneapolis. The incident was unprovoked, TMZ reported. 

I appreciate the words of support- even from those who normally dislike me. Free speech is a gift- no need to resort to that kind of attack. I’ll discuss the restaurant incident on @foxandfriends tomorrow morning.

Lahren, a controversial figure who has called for limited immigration and pro-gun policies, has frequently drawn the ire of social media users.

The 25-year-old previously worked as a host for Glenn Beck’s Blaze TV, and signed with Fox News as a contributor last August.
