Fox’s Laura Ingraham Claims GOP Is ‘Committing a Slow Suicide’ By Whittling Down Their Narrow House Majority

Laura Ingraham claims the GOP is “committing a slow suicide” by whittling down their narrow majority in the House of Representatives, and predicted Friday that the Democrats could take the lead by summer.

On Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle Friday, the host, slammed Republicans like Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) who suddenly announced they were retiring from Congress. Their departures mean the GOP majority will be down to just one vote on party-line issues.

“So, what if someone has a delayed flight? Gets sick? There is zero room for error,” Ingraham said, adding that the “sudden midterm retirements” were politically timed to hurt the Republicans and presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“Now, I’ve been in Washington — this is depressing to report — but 30 years,” Ingraham said. “I have never witnessed what I’m witnessing now: a party with a narrow majority in the House of Representatives, everything on the line in the country, but committing a slow suicide — the party. This is why conservatives call the G.O.P. ‘The Stupid Party,’ by the way.” She continued:

The new speaker, Mike Johnson, just signed on to a $1.2 trillion spending bill that essentially gives Joe Biden everything he needs…The fact is, as I tried to tell Matt Gaetz, there just aren’t enough serious Republicans in Congress now who really want to cut spending. Instead, they want to flex their muscles and exercise “real power,” they think, which is spending.

And let’s not forget Republicans’ self-sabotage was also on full display when they helped push George Santos out. Obvious ethical issues there, but many of us think what is happening with spending is unethical, as well. Ousting Santos gave the Democrats another seat. By summer, I think, there is distinct possibility that Democrats will have the House majority.
