Laura Ingraham Snarls At Black Guest: 'What’s Your Urban Agenda, Handouts?'
Laura Ingraham repeatedly took racial swipes at African American A. Scott Bolden for challenging her contention that Donald Trump has been terrific for black people. But when Bolden called Trump a racist, she really came unglued.
Ingraham opened her show with advice to Trump on how to boost his popularity. (Trump is currently the least popular occupier of the Oval Office in the history of polling.) Oddly, she never got to discussing the imminent passage of Trump's tax cut bill.
INGRAHAM: You’ve accomplished so much this year [but] more voters can and will be on your side with maybe just a few tweaks, a few modest changes. Perhaps the time has come to put aside a few of the Twitter battles. I like the tweets but not all of them. And now it’s time to humanize the agenda you’ve been fighting for.
She cited former Presidents Obama and Clinton as “masterful emoters” but “often no action.” After offering a few thoughts as to how First Fox Fan Trump could do both, Ingraham invited a panel to further the discussion.
I credit Ingraham for putting together a four-person panel with two real liberals. But the path to you-know-where is paved with good intentions. It wasn’t long before Ingraham reached the limit of her tolerance for Trump criticism and went off the rails.
