8 wild claims Fox News host Laura Ingraham made about Joe Biden including calling him ‘anti-American’
8 times Fox News host Laura Ingraham made wild claims about Joe Biden
Fox News journalist Laura Ingraham has been known as a divisive character in media circles because of her contentious reporting on 'The Ingraham Angle'. She has been an ardent supporter of Donald Trump ever since she assumed leadership of the Fox News primetime opinion-based talk show in 2017. She has also leveled several audacious accusations against President Joe Biden on air, such as claiming that his endorsement of Black Lives Matter is responsible for the rise in gun violence in the US. Let us take a look at 8 wild claims Laura Ingraham has made about Joe Biden over the years.
1. Accusing Biden of a conspiracy involving Kazakhstan
The Fox News host attacked President Biden in August 2023 for designating a national monument in the Grand Canyon to preserve Indigenous peoples' and tribes' sacred sites, claiming it was a plot to help Kazakhstan, as the Daily Beast reported. Speaking of the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni — Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, Ingraham accused the President of corruption during a segment of Fox News' 'The Ingraham Angle', saying that he "brazenly [crippled] America's uranium mining capacity by making 1 million acres permanently off-limits for any type of mining".
2. Connecting dots between Biden's classified documents and his family's business
When the Fox News anchor said that President Biden was more focused on providing for his family than the well-being of the country, Laura Ingraham's dislike for Joe Biden was evident. In a January 2023 episode of 'The Ingraham Angle', Ingraham discussed Biden's improper handling of sensitive data while he was vice president and sought to compare it to Donald Trump, who found himself in deep water over a similar incident.
3. Biden's values make him 'anti-American'
During Ingraham's Fox News broadcast, a few of the secondary titles that appeared on screen read 'The Biden base's anti-American values exposed' and 'The left hates people who are proud of America'. Ingraham ranted and screamed about how Democrats—Biden in particular—want to destroy America and all that is American. She said, "No one who really loved America, our history, and our culture would make it his policy to push that."
4. Suggesting Biden should be prosecuted instead of Trump
Another episode of 'The Ingraham Angle' from April 2024 included Laura Ingraham going on one of her now-famous tirades against Joe Biden. During the discussion of Donald Trump's hush money case, the journalist from Fox News suggested that President Biden ought to be prosecuted rather than Trump. According to Ingraham, Biden and his administration misled the country with promises of a better future and implemented liberal policies that have caused "incalculable destruction" to the United States.
5. Blaming Biden's support to BLM movement for gun violence in the US
While Joe Biden made an effort to address gun violence in the US, Laura Ingraham asserted that he was the cause of the problem. During a February 2022 episode of 'The Ingraham Angle', the anchor of Fox News expressed her distaste for Biden's gun control policy, which includes outlawing assault weapons and magazines with a big capacity as well as requiring background checks for all gun buyers. She also said that rather than promoting peace in the United States, Biden's administration was harming Republicans as seen by his backing for the Black Lives Matter movement. In an interview with Congressman Michael Cloud of Texas, Ingraham said, "During the Black Lives Matter movement riots that just destroyed block after block in major American cities, it scared people. And as a result, people are buying a lot more guns."
6. Biden's economic policies are driving Americans 'off a debt cliff'
During a segment of 'The Ingraham Angle' on May 3, 2024, Laura Ingraham slammed Biden’s economic policies claiming that it is driving Americans "off a debt cliff". She said, " I'd like to call this OLDS — Old Liberal in Denial Syndrome. Now, perhaps his staff can't read, but the US manufacturing sector declined in April. High interest rates will do that. This has been a terrible, awful, rotten week for Biden. He and the bipartisan cabal in DC are driving us off a debt cliff and he is still spending." She added, "As president, he could have been prudent. He could have been smart. Well, maybe not smart. That's pushing it with Joe. But instead, he just kept defense contractors happy with huge spending in Ukraine. Then, he borrowed more to satisfy the hard left."
7. Biden isn't 'credible' as a global leader
In her monologue on April 15, 2024, during an episode on 'The Ingraham Angle', Laura Ingraham explained why President Biden isn't "credible" as a global leader. She said, "'Death to Israel. Death to America.' Now, these are the voters, by the way, that Joe Biden was desperately trying to court over the weekend by telling Israel to bring down the temperature after the attempted drone attack on Sunday morning by Iran. Now, it's been a muddled mess and an embarrassment to the United States." She added, "Now, these aren't the words of a superpower because a superpower is proud and resolute. America under Biden is ashamed and shaky."
8. Biden's policies bring 'death' to American way of life
During her monologue on the April 8, 2024, episode of 'The Ingraham Angle', Laura Ingraham said President Biden's policies bring 'death' to the American way of life. She said, "Because no one who really loved America, our history, and our culture, would make it his [Biden's] policy to push that or to leave our border open. No one who really wanted to help keep America safe would have appointed nincompoops to the cabinet like Janet Yellen, Lloyd Austin, or Jennifer Granholm. And no one who really cared about Americans would dismiss their complaints, their real complaints about the high cost of groceries and of gas." She added, "Certainly, no one who respected our working people would try to outlaw gas-powered cars and mandate EVs. No one who wanted a healthy America would consider legalizing high-THC weed, and no one who really cared about protecting American life would consider abortion up until birth a sacred rite. So 'death to America' is a fact of life under Democrats' policies."
