Reefer Madness 2022: Laura Ingraham Blames Marijuana For Mass Shootings In America
We have got to be scraping the bottom of the absurd right-wing talking point barrel at this point.
Thats it. I am convinced conservative pundits and politicians are engaging in a secret competition to see who can come up with the most asinine anti-gun regulation arguments they can attach to the horrific mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
Marjorie Taylor Greene of peach tree dish fame argued that the problem was a lack of God, mental illness, a peach street dish and a lack of meds despite Salvador Ramos never having been diagnosed with any mental illness. Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson blamed rap music and video games. Others blamed the immigration crisis despite Ramos being a U.S. citizen. Donald Trump Jr. argued that Ramos could have committed the exact same crime with a bat that he did with an assault rifle.
And if you didnt think anyone could possibly come up with a more ridiculous argument, Fox News host Laura Ingraham is here to shout, Hold my beer. (Or, in this case, Hold my blunt.)
Citing research from the prestigious University of This Is What I Heard, Ingraham has suggested that the reason an 18-year-old bought guns with premeditated plans to commit a mass shooting was thatwait for ithe was smoking weed.
