President Trump has tweeted in support of Fox News pundit Tomi Lahren morning after she had a drink thrown in her face during a brunch altercation on Sunday.

Lahren, whose conservative views and outspoken demeanor consistently rattle her critics, was with her mother at the UNION restaurant in Minneapolis when another diner tossed a glass of water on her as she walked past her table.

Witnesses said Lahren had been behaving badly towards staff and that the restaurant 'cheered' when she was doused.

Footage of the attack circulated on Snapchat and Lahren, 25, was outraged.

To back her up, the president tweeted on Wednesday morning: 'Everybody is with Tomi Lahren, a truly outstanding and respected young woman!'

Lahren responded to his message of support by tweeting back a US flag.

On Wednesday morning, President Trump tweeted in support of Fox News pundit Tomi Lahren after watching her on Fox and Friends talking about having a drink thrown in her face during a brunch in Minneapolis on Sunday

Earlier, she appeared on Fox And Friends to discuss what she referred to in an earlier tweet as 'the incident'.

'I was actually with both my parents and we were enjoying brunch after I did a show the night before and unfortunately there was a group of people probably around my age that thought it would be funny to throw water at me and then start chanting profanity and, again, not something that I'm not used to, but [it was] really disheartening,' she said.

Lahren said both she and her mother got 'wet' and described the ordeal as 'embarrassing'.

'This something that was embarrassing, at the end of the day I'm a person too, but I'm tough, my family is tough, we can handle it.

'I think that those that threw profanity and water and were applauding and laughing about it, wanted to get their 15 minutes of fame by making a video of me.

Tomi Lahren, 23, went on Fox and Friends on Wednesday to say that while she had recovered after the incident thanks to her 'thick skin', she felt 'embarrassed' for her attackers who she believes are after their '15 minutes of fame'

'Looking back, those are the people that will be embarrassed by the action. Their parents raised them better, furthermore, you don't have to like me but you don't have the right to throw things at me.

'Is it at that the point that you can't disagree with somebody, civilly? It's really disheartening.'

She added that it the 'silver lining' to the incident was finding unlikely support from critics who ordinarily 'detest' her, including the notoriously anti-Trump comedian Kathy Griffin who tweeted in her defense after footage of the attack surfaced.

Lahren was on her way out of UNION restaurant with her mother and father when someone tossed a drink at her. Footage of it was later uploaded proudly by Jasmine Kohler, a Snapchat user, who claimed it was her who'd done the water tossing

Afterwards, Lahren went back to the group's table to confront them. That is when she was labeled a 'racist piece of s***' and a 'sexist piece of f****** human garbage'. She is pictured speaking to a bouncer Jeremy Jackson. He said Lahren complained to him that the group was 'scowling' at her before they threw the water

The woman shown in green told Lahren she was a 'racist piece of s***'. She argued with the Fox pundit and her mother Trudy (seen standing behind her daughter) before declaring: 'You're done!'

'Hey, that's the silver lining in the whole thing, there are people that normally detest me and they're coming to my defense at least on this incidents, so maybe moving forward who thought it was fun to throw party, maybe that they'll see that that's not the cool thing to do.

'If Kathy griffin is sticking up for you or defending you, hey, I will take it.'

Griffin, who was condemned on both sides of the aisle for appearing in a poor-taste photoshoot holding up a fake severed head with a mask to make it look like the president, tweeted on Tuesday night: 'I couldn't disagree more with Tomi Lahren but I don't think it's cool to resort to physical actions to make your point.

'The first amendment is a beautiful thing - use it.'

The video was shared on Snapchat by user Jasmine Kohler who saw nothing wrong with the attack and captioned her footage: 'Throws a drink at Tomi Lahren hahahah.

'Thanks for the screenshots. I did it.'

Lahren, according to witnesses, had been 'scowling' at the group before she made her exit.

The exact chain of events is unclear but it appears as though she was on her way out, without having spoken to anyone in the group, when the water was thrown.

Unlikely support came from Kathy Griffin who tweeted this after seeing the video

Lahren was grateful for Griffin's words and said that it served as a 'silver lining' to the incident

On Wednesday, DailyMail.com obtained a second video which purported to show the conversation which took place afterwards.

In it, a woman who belonged the group of Lahren's critics can be heard harassing her and labeling her a 'racist piece of s***'.

Someone in Lahren's group, likely her mother, hits back: 'Who do you think you are.'

The woman continued: 'What do I think I am? I am someone who has worked my entire life, I work with immigrants every single day of my life and I love, I love those people.

'Those people have worked their entire lives and they have earned their place here in America.'

Earlier, she fumed: 'I don't care what you have to say. You are a f****** racist piece of s**t.

'Sexist f****** piece of human garbage. You say all these awful things about immigrants, people of color.

'You can leave, you can leave. You're done.'
