Political Activity

Tomeo has been a critic of President Barack Obama and a strong supporter of President George W. Bush. Tomeo, who has done work for the Republican Women's Club of Grosse Pointe, has often used her radio show as a political platform, saying, " I get really frustrated with people who complain about the moral situation in this country but never bothered to go out and vote for the pro-life/pro-family candidates." In a letter to a Catholic who supported Obama, Tomeo wrote that she would not back down on her outspoken criticism of President Obama.
