Democrats have been glorifying violence for years now.
But Fox News’s top host just exposed their dangerous hypocrisy.
And Laura Ingraham hit Democrats with a staggering wake-up call they desperately needed to hear.
Laura Ingraham warns of a “mind virus” spreading through the Democrat Party
Fox News host Laura Ingraham opened her show Monday night with a scathing critique of the Left’s growing obsession with criminals who target their political opponents.
“There is a sickness on the Left. It’s a mind virus that seems to be getting worse, one where killers and other criminals become deities,” Ingraham declared during her opening monologue on “The Ingraham Angle.”
Ingraham pointed to disturbing examples of leftists glorifying violent criminals, particularly when those criminals target people or institutions the Left opposes.
“As long as criminals target what the liberals despise, they will be treated with empathy and understanding, even reverence,” Ingraham explained.
She highlighted comments from journalist Taylor Lorenz, who openly bragged about “standing up for” a man charged with murdering a health insurance CEO.
“I saw the biggest audience growth that I’ve ever seen because people were like, oh, somebody, some journalist is actually speaking to the anger that we feel,” Lorenz said in a clip played on Ingraham’s show.
Lorenz went on to describe the alleged murderer as “revolutionary,” “famous,” “handsome,” “young,” “smart,” and “this morally good man, which is hard to find.”
The media is encouraging dangerous behavior
Ingraham also called out television personalities for stoking what she called “killer worship” through their coverage.
She played a clip of a late-night host joking about the alleged murderer: “This is confusing as a straight man to me. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do to attract women. One day it’s, do more work around the house. The next, to be a better listener. And now, apparently it’s, execute the leader of a Fortune 500 company, which one is it, ladies?”
“Of course, we all know that line wouldn’t have made late night if the victim had, let’s say, been the head of a Left-wing NGO, heaven forbid,” Ingraham pointed out. “But legitimizing murder never acceptable.”
The Fox News host tied this disturbing trend to the recent wave of threats against President Donald Trump, noting that “another would-be Trump assassin is in custody.”
She referenced a 17-year-old who allegedly wrote a manifesto calling for Trump’s assassination “to start a revolution” and “save the white race.”
Political rhetoric has real-world consequences
Ingraham placed some of the blame on Democratic politicians and their inflammatory rhetoric.
“The vicious hyperbole of our political leaders, it’s clearly making things worse,” she said. “Every politician knows when he or she uses words like Hitler or Nazi to describe someone, there is a risk that someone will hear those words and decide to take matters into their own hands.”
“After Butler and the failed plot at Trump International, you’d think that everyone would take it down a notch, but they didn’t,” Ingraham continued. “After dining out on January 6th for four years, Democrats have spawned the rage generation.”
She highlighted recent violence directed at Teslas and Republican Party headquarters, allegedly by 40-year-old Jamison Wagner, who Ingraham said is treated as “a folk hero” by Trump and Elon Musk haters.
Even Democrats are waking up to the problem
Ingraham did acknowledge that some Democrats are beginning to recognize the dangers of political violence – especially when it affects them personally.
She played a clip of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, whose residence was broken into and set ablaze over Passover by a man who allegedly said he “would have taken a hammer to the governor if he could have.”
“This kind of violence is becoming far too common in our society, and I don’t give a damn if it’s coming from one particular side or the other, directed at one particular party or another, or one particular person or another, it is not OK, and it has to stop. We have to be better than this,” Shapiro said.
Trump was asked about the attack on Shapiro and responded: “The attacker was not a fan of Trump, I understand, just from what I read and from what I’ve been told. The attacker basically wasn’t a fan of anybody. He’s probably just a whack job and certainly a thing like that cannot be allowed to happen.”
Ingraham concluded with a powerful message: “Democrats tell your party to debate, don’t destroy.”
She reminded her viewers that during Holy Week, reflecting on Christ’s teachings, “we all, whatever you believe, we have the God given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. What a blessing. So let’s start acting like it.”
