Appearing on NBC’s Today show, Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi bemoaned the “tumultuous” Trump presidency and slammed the administration’s immigration policy, accusing the Border Patrol of “tear-gassing children.” She also discussed the September New York Times op-ed she wrote attacking then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
After being touted as “a champion of women’s rights” and “ACLU Ambassador for Immigration,” Lakshmi lamented to co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb: “I mean, you know, obviously, the last two years have been tumultuous for a lot of us. And honestly, I wouldn’t even have even said I’m a very political person, but I seem to have found myself speaking out on a variety of issues...”
Promoting her left-wing activism minutes later, Lakshmi proclaimed:
I want to be known as an advocate for the ACLU. I’m an ambassador for them for immigration rights. Obviously even this morning, coming here, I was reading about all the tear-gassing of children on the border, and it’s devastating. You know, I am an immigrant and I really identify with those people....When someone leaves their home and everything they know and belong to, to go to another country, it’s because they have little other choice. And we forget that.
The fact that Border Patrol agents only fired tear gas to disperse the crowd after Central American migrants began throwing rocks at them was not mentioned in the exchange.

Now, about that sammich'.
Well I guess I will not be watching this show.
O’Idiot used GAS many times at the border!
Both. PRETTY and. STUPID.
As in; PRETTY STUPID
Padma and Hoda...that’s funny.
Rich elitists who never encounter am MS13 or other gang member telling us about tumultuous times???? Now that’s just plain funny
I’m “lamenting” she’s managed to be come a citizen of this country.
Lots of ham and bacon. The more flavorful and spicy the better.
Then again, would I trust someone like her to make a sandwich?
Yes, when I want opinions of national import, I always ask foreign celebrity cooks...................
A sandwich? She would be an entire pork roast ....................
All the people waiting for a lawful hearing should not have these invaders jump the line and slow the immigration of those trying to enter lawfully.
“Both. PRETTY and. STUPID.
As in; PRETTY STUPID”
Here’s her campaign song:
sex pistols pretty vacant

Foreign celebrity kooks?
;^)
We’re down to listening to the political opinions of celebrity chefs now? Maybe she’d be interested in my opinions on how to improve her foie gras?
No? I wonder why not. By her standards, I don’t need to have any knowledge of a topic to have a worthy opinion on that topic.
Be right back, I’m going to go to the kitchen in her restaurant and start telling her how to mix a better marinade.
And an insult to all porcine creatures.
well, Merry Christmas anyway, ya jerkoff
What an idiot....When in history has the true asylum seeker walked to the door of the country they wish to enter and:
- Attempted to overwhelm the door by force
- Hurled rocks and glass bottles at the guards protecting that door
- Waived their nations flag defiantly
- Chanted “Yes We Can” in a foreign language
?
As a top chef he should know better than most that you gots to break a few eggs to make an omelet.
