Heck JFK's father was a known nazi sympathizer and the Kennedy family went on to do good things for America.



Ingraham is a Right wing news host and of course she is going to say things that appeal to her audience and she will say other things for the shock value like how many Left wing news hosts do.



What is funny is how they call her a racist and how she is anti immigrant but her adopted daughter is from Guatemala and her 2 adopted boys are from Russia. It sounds like she is more like Trump that she is FOR Legal immigration and AGAINST Illegal.

But of course being on Trumps side in support for anything makes one fair game for the destructive force of the Left.
She also dated Dinesh D'Souza while at Dartmouth.

We can't pick our family....sounds like Laura got a lemon in her older brother, oh well, move on.

If she's blatantly vile enough, then yes it is justified. I'm firmly for family support and loyalty, but there are limits - and that limit is if they show a callous, willful indifference toward the dignity and aspirations of others. Besides, it's not as if parents, siblings, and children who are right wing make fun of or otherwise disrespect their own close family members for switching religions, coming out of the closet, or even being "weird", "failures", etc. That sounds like certain conservative's logic to me (unlike you, I won't make a general blanket statement against all conservatives).
Name one conservative who has publicly trashed a family member. I can’t think of any except Reagan’s kid, but I don’t think she was a conservative.

What a surprise! She found out she could make money by following her basest instincts and took advantage of it!

This is.....I hate to inform our fine readers...something that millions of people do. Heck, many love Trump because they wish it was them ripping off people, grabbing puzzy and working with ancient washed-up porn stars.

Somehow I developed empathy and a conscience. I couldn't live with myself if I sold out to that point....sure, we all compromise ourselves in various ways. But....not to that extent.

Well, Rudy's kids hate him and won't even talk to him....so there is that......

Manaforts daughter is disowning him.....

Not exactly what you are looking for, but a lot of "non-family values" going on in those sects.....

In general it's the family members of folks who have turned Nazi (Spencers Parents, etc.) that don't like what their brood have become. So there is certainly a lot more to hate there.....

Makes me want to watch her show more. Just to make liberals heads explode.

Let me guess. Her brother asked her for money and she turned him down. Everyone has a relative like that, even the Duchess of Sussex, the former Meghan Markle. The tabloids pay very well.

OK, let's take another view here: If she was not a disgusting racist, would she have her own show on Fox?

I think not. That is what sells to that audience. No one should be surprised to hear this about Fox personalities.

Really?


And CNN and MSNBC audiences have no similar inclinations?
