Laura Ingraham Viciously Equates Trump with Victims of Terrorist Atrocities

 

Fox News host Laura Ingraham shamelessly mocked President Joe Biden’s call for nonpartisan unity following the terrorist attack on Israel and instead directly compared hateful bigotry towards Jews to the legal prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

No, for real. She really did suggest that the xenophobia that has arisen following the brutal terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas was just like the “hate” that Trump is getting from the Department of Justice for alleged mishandling of classified documents and defrauding the American people with a scheme to overturn the 2020 election results.

Ingraham: Finally, Joe Biden emerged on 90 minutes late to speak about, well, the evil attacks by Hamas against the Israeli people. Now, although he was unequivocal about America’s support for Israel and the depravity of these incursions, there was no mention of Iran’s role in the planning and the funding of these attacks. Nor did he announce any reconsideration of the $6 billion payment to Iran for that prisoner swap. Mostly, it was generalities.

Biden: This is a moment for the United States to come together to grieve with those who are mourning. Let’s be real clear. There is no place for hate in America.

Ingraham: Okay. Well, if he’s really against hate, then he should call a prosecutorial cease fire against his political adversaries like the former president, and direct his DOJ and DHS to stop making conservative Americans feel like they are the enemy or like they’re the violent extremists out there.

Want to know why the nation is so divided? Because just hours after the sitting president called for unity in a speech to the nation, this opinion host not only ignores that plea but instead uses it to make a remarkably moronic point suggesting that the only reason Trump’s actions are held to any judicial account is because of some sort of “hate” against him.

To compare justice to the anti-semitism on display following the horrible attacks on Israel is disgraceful. And yet, this is how the 7 PM hour of the most watched cable news network opened its show. Shameful.
