Laura Ingraham is nothing if not consistently a Fox News bigot. She isn’t consistent about her ideas or the things that come out of her mouth; but she is consistent in one thing—she wants to stay on television, making money, no matter what. Ingraham went on her Fox News show The Angle* Wednesday night to pretend the blue wave of change isn’t upon the elections process. She did this by trying to deride Ocasio-Cortez’s inability to win every election outside of the district in New York City that she actually won.
In some parts of the country, it does seem like the America that we know and love doesn’t exist anymore. Massive demographic changes have been foisted upon the American people; and they’re changes that none of us ever voted for, and most of us don’t like. From Virginia to California we see stark examples of how radically, in some ways, the country has changed.
Now much of this is related to illegal, and in some cases legal immigration—that, of course progressives love.
Ingraham laments how “old Democrats” believed that “borders mattered.” Shit, you go back that far and you’ll remember that Democrats didn’t get to “vote” to end slavery! But, facts and all that are for commies. From there, Ingraham goes to a nightmare cherry-picked story from The Daily Caller about some monster rapist using sanctuary status to molest a child he entered the country with. It’s the kind of dehumanizing story that racists like Fox News’s Laura Ingraham use to frighten your grandparents—while winking at the camera in order to say these people are monsters, you know.

Of course, even in the context of their statistically pointless anecdotal story about a single terrible person entering our country legally, they don’t care to mention or talk about the fact that the child—also an immigrant—is now free of that monster of a man. Something that would not have happened for her if she were left outside of our country. But logic and morality aren’t strengths of Fox News’s narcissists like Ingraham. Atatcking immigration from anywhere seems particularly strange for someone like Ingraham. She has three adopted children, two from Russia and one from Guatemala—I guess if you have two white immigrants to every one non-white you’re in the clear?
They are right that there are terrible people out in the world; but there are places where the percentage of monsters to non-monsters are higher than others. An example would be Fox News, which seems to be made up of mostly amoral, power and fame-hungry monsters.
Time to boycott Ingraham again. If you want to rage watch you can check Laura Ingraham work Fox viewers into a frothy hate-lather below the fold.
*The “angle” is “being a racist.”
