The speech by the 25-year-old Fox News contributor went on as scheduled in the Philadelphia suburb of Glendale after the graffiti was removed.
Lahren took to Twitter before she delivered her remarks to condemn the message.
“Truth is the new hate speech. You don’t intimidate me! See you tonight, Glenside,” she wrote to her 1.11 million followers.

Protesters and counterprotesters arrived outside the theatre before the speech, with Abington Township Police Chief Patrick Molloy telling ABC-6, a Philadelphia affiliate, that extra security was added for the event.

No arrests were reported.
Lahren signed with Fox News in August 2017 as a contributor after hosting “Tomi” on Glenn Beck’s BlazeTV.
She parted ways with Beck after a public dispute after a battle that played out publicly following Lahren’s comments on abortion on “The View.”
She previously hosted “On Point with Tomi Lahren” for the One America News Network.
