Laura Ingraham Kicks Up Fear Factor With Desperate New Attack On Joe Biden


04/24/2021 06:44 am ET Updated 15 minutes ago

The Fox News personality ranted about the president — and not “goofy QAnon people” — being “the real threat to our future.”

By Lee Moran

Fox News’ Laura Ingraham returned to familiar territory on Friday, wildly claiming that Joe Biden is “the real threat” to the future of the country.

“America’s most dangerous insurrectionists aren’t the goofy QAnon people in fur and face paint, OK?” Ingraham declared in an apparent reference to the violent mob of supporters of former President Donald Trump who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

“The real threat to our future is Biden and the well-heeled powerful forces who want us to lose sight of what made America great in the first place,” the prime-time personality continued.

Ingraham, who repeatedly pushes white nationalist talking points on her widely watched show, then added:

“It’s not our diversity. It’s our freedom.”

Whatever they are calling it this year...

She is a real danger to our democracy. She stirs and waits for the results without getting her hands dirty.

4. Over half their audience's over 65, and too much fear's not good for their health.

Their fear and anger are exacerbated by being forced to realize most people don't agree with them

Btw, NBC and CBS news programs draw 3 times more 25-54 viewers than Fox.

11. Diversity Did Make the United States Great

First, the United States can have diversity and freedom at the same time. However, diversity did make America great. Katherine Johnson helped send men to the moon and back. Other women, both black and white, helped in that endeavor. Men of multiple races also helped in that endeavor. Women helped crack codes during World War II and helped the Allies win the war. Black men helped win numerous battles during World War II. Women of all races, at home and abroad, also helped win battles even if they never stepped on the battlefield. There are so many other instances where diversity helped make this country great and helped maintain the freedom of this country and the world.
