Fox News personality Tomi Lahren faced heavy criticism for a tweet baselessly accusing Sen. Kamala Harris of sleeping her “way to the top” — even getting hit by a fellow Fox News host.

Lahren, furiously live-tweeting the Democratic primary debate, wrote in one missive: “Kamala did you fight for ideals or did you sleep your way to the top.”

Kamala did you fight for ideals or did you sleep your way to the top with Willie Brown?

Willie Brown, the former mayor of San Francisco, once dated Harris.

Lahren faced pushback for her tweet from Fox’s Kat Timpf, who said, “I am curious to know what you think bringing a woman’s personal/sexual life into this accomplishes. Men do that to us enough as it is.”

I am curious to know what you think bringing a woman’s personal/sexual life into this accomplishes. Men do that to us enough as it is. I’m honestly asking. https://t.co/MgO0yMrAHT

Lahren didn’t respond to Timpf but later doubled down.

Ask Willie Brown how Kamala became AG of CA…

Lahren was widely condemned for her remark.

You sound gracious and reasonable. https://t.co/ircpjP60D2

This is pretty shameful — this kind of thinking is more a reflection of who YOU are than who she is. Funny how this question isn’t asked of men running for office. https://t.co/AfFIUop57O
