After ending her 17-year radio show, Fox News host Laura Ingraham started a new podcast in January 2019. The change of format and venue did not reduce Ingraham’s use of racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, anti-LGBTQ, and generally hateful rhetoric. Here are some examples from her first episodes that clearly show that Ingraham and her guests intend to continue shepherding listeners through a nightmarish wormhole of hatred and bigotry.
Ingraham warned her listeners that “demographic changes” are “coming to a state near you.”
Ingraham compared abortion to the Nazis’ treatment of Jewish people in the Dachau and Auschwitz concentration camps.
Frequent Fox News guest Joe diGenova told Ingraham that “we are in a civil war” and suggested that everyone buy guns to prepare for “total war.”
Ingraham attacked “minority privilege,” saying, “Because you're a minority, you get special standards, special treatment in the eyes of some. And it’s not fair to other people.”
Ingraham: A “Planned Parenthood cap might as well be the KKK, but not a kid who's wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat.”
Fox’s Arroyo called Ocasio-Cortez “this girl” and mocked her “big sob story” about a furloughed air traffic controller.
Conservative author Shelby Steele told Ingraham that “liberalism, as we practice it today in America, … is infinitely more oppressive to minorities than racism.”
Ingraham and Arroyo attacked Galentine's Day, an unofficial February 13 holiday to celebrate female friendships, calling it "male bashing." Arroyo suggested that men should have “Malentine's Day” in response.
